How to Draw a Cute Banana in 9 Easy Steps for Kids and Beginners

If you’re wondering how to draw a cute banana, you’re in the right place! This step-by-step guide is perfect for kids and beginners who want to create a cheerful, peeled banana with a big smile and bright eyes.

From sketching smooth curves to adding cute expressions, your child will learn how to turn a basic fruit into a character full of personality. Let’s turn simple shapes into something totally a-peel-ing! 🍌✨

Step 1: Draw the First Curve

Begin by drawing a single curved line, shaped like half an oval or a reversed ‘C’ — this forms one side of your banana.

💡This simple banana shape is going to turn into something super cute! ✍️🍌✨

Step 2: Complete the Outer Shape

Draw another curved line parallel to the first one to form the other side of the banana. This outlines the banana’s body.

💡Your banana is starting to take shape — peel-tastic progress! 🍌🌀

Step 3: Close the Bottom and Add Center Line

Close the bottom with a small oval or circle, connecting both sides. Then, draw a curved line from the middle to the bottom center — this will divide the peeled section.

💡This simple line helps the banana look freshly peeled! 🍌✂️

Step 4: Sketch the First Peel Section

Draw two curved lines flaring outward from the center line, shaped like open leaves or flaps. This is the first part of the banana peel.

💡One peel flap done — your banana is opening up happily! 🍌🌱

Step 5: Add the Other Peels

Draw a similar peel flap to the right side. Adjust the shape slightly to add more depth and dimension.

💡Now it’s peeling from all sides — looking cuter by the second! 🍌📜

Step 6: Erase & Add Eyes

Erase the overlapping inner lines between the peel sections. Then, draw two small circles near the top of the banana — these will become its adorable eyes!

💡Eyes added — your banana is ready to look at the world! 🍌👀

Step 7: Draw Sparkly Eyes

Inside each circle, draw two tiny circles — one bigger and one smaller — to make the eyes shiny and expressive.

💡A little sparkle goes a long way — now it’s super expressive! 🍌👁️✨

Step 8: Add a Smile & Hearts

Shade in the larger part of each eye, leaving the small circles white. Draw a happy smile between the eyes. Add a heart above the left eye and two around the right side for extra cuteness.

💡Smiles and hearts — your banana just stole the show! 🍌😁❤️

Step 9: Bring it to Life with Color

Color your banana using bright yellow for the body. Use a softer yellow or white for the peeled sections. Add blush or other colors as you like!

💡Now it’s not just cute — it’s full of fruity life! 🍌🌈🖍️
