How to Draw a Walnut

Today we have created one of the most difficult nuts drawing tutorials. We will tell you about how to draw a walnut.

You are probably tired of drawing nuts. However, today we have prepared an interesting shape and difficult shadows.

Step 1

First, we will draw an ordinary round figure. It will be the outlines of the walnut, so try to use very light lines. The main thing that we need to do here is to achieve the most round shape.

Step 2

Continue sketching the walnut and draw two curved lines around the circle from the step one. In fact, it is very similar to the rings around the planet. Have you ever seen the planet Saturn, have you?

Step 3

In the third step we will draw the contours of the nut kernel. You should use smooth and wavy lines as you can see in our sketch. By the way, have you noticed that a walnut is very similar to the brain?

Step 4

Now with the help of very clear and smooth lines draw out the whole picture. The walnut lines must be sinuous, but the line structure itself must be perfectly clean and smooth. Erase the additional guidelines from the previous three steps, trying to make your walnut drawing as clean as possible. Mark the final contours of the walnut core with clear dark lines.

Step 5

We need to make our result more realistic, right? To do this we will add some shadows. So, with the help of dense hatching smoothly shade those areas where the light does not fall. In order to achieve maximum realism, you can add additional layers of hatching, preferably of different directions.

We hope that you have the same walnut as in our example. If you have any difficulties, do not despair. Just take a new sheet and try again, considering all the mistakes you made in the previous attempt. Please write us if you have any problems with drawing. We read all your comments and try to accommodate all your wishes and criticism.
