Food Pencil Drawings

Food drawings in simple pencil: a pizza slice, a cake slice with a strawberry, a donut with a bite taken out, a whole strawberry and a strawberry cut in half, a ramen bowl, sushi with chopsticks, an onigiri with a dumpling, a cupcake, a lemon slice and a basket of apples. Most of them have clear outlines and are easy to copy in a sketchbook.

Sketch the main shape with light HB lines first, then go over the outline and add the details: sprinkles, seeds and noodles.

Questions and answers

What food is easy to draw in pencil?

A donut, a strawberry or a slice of pizza: each starts from a circle, an oval or a triangle. Then try the cake and the sushi, and save the ramen bowl for last, since it has the most details.

How do I make a food pencil drawing look neat?

Sketch the shape lightly, then trace the outline with a confident line and erase the extra marks. Add volume with a soft 2B pencil using short strokes on one side of the food.

How do I draw cute food in pencil?

Draw a tiny face on the food: two filled dot eyes, a small smile and cheeks. That is how the onigiri, the dumpling, the ramen bowl and the cupcake on this page are drawn.
