About This Article
To draw a pineapple, start by drawing an oval that's thinner at the top than at the bottom. Then, draw the spiky leaves of the pineapple at the top of the oval. Next, draw curved diagonal lines going across the oval that are evenly spaced apart. Now do the same thing again but going the other way to create diamond shapes on the pineapple. Finally, add dots to the center of each diamond to represent the fruit's spikes. If you want to learn how to draw the leaves on top of your pineapple, keep reading!
