What's In This Picture

In the center of the page, you will find a large pineapple with a very expressive face. It wears a pair of thick-rimmed sunglasses that cover its eyes, giving it a very cool and relaxed look. Below the shades, a simple, curved mouth shows off a happy expression.

The body of the fruit is covered in a classic diamond pattern, representing the rough skin of a real pineapple. At the very top, a crown of tall, pointed leaves fans out in different directions. Every part of this character is outlined with clear, bold lines, making it easy to see where each color should go, from the frames of the glasses to the tips of the leaves.

Coloring Tips

You can stick with traditional colors like bright yellow for the body and deep green for the leaves. For the sunglasses, try using a dark color like navy blue or purple to make them stand out against the yellow face. You could even add a little white highlight on the lenses to make them look like they are reflecting the bright sun.

If you want to be more creative, try making a rainbow pineapple by coloring each diamond section a different shade. Using markers will give the fruit a bold look, while colored pencils allow you to blend different yellows and oranges together for a more realistic texture. Don't forget to color the background with a soft blue or sandy tan to complete the summer scene.

Did You Know?

Did you know that a pineapple is not actually a single fruit? It is a cluster of many tiny individual berries that have grown together around a central core. Each scale you see on the outside was once a separate flower that bloomed on the plant.

Try This!

After finishing your artwork, you could try drawing a pair of flip-flops or a beach ball next to your pineapple. You might also want to search for a real pineapple in the kitchen to see how the patterns on the skin look in real life before you start coloring.
