Step 1

Drawing Tutorial Step 1

Begin by drawing three small round circles for the berries. You can draw and add as many berries as you'd like but we stuck with three small berries for this tutorial.

Next, you'll need to add some details to the berries. You can do this by drawing a small oval shape on top of each berry.

Once you've drawn your berries together, on each side draw a line in an angle. This will be the stems of the leaves.
