How to Draw a Bowl of Soup

1. Begin the bowl of soup outline by drawing the bowl. Use curved lines to enclose the flattened oval shape. Draw a large "C" shaped line for the opening, and enclose the foot of the bowl with another curved line.

2. Draw curved lines across the side and foot of the bowl. Then, start drawing the spoon. Sketch a partial crescent shape with a curved line parallel to the top.

3. Draw the spoon's handle, erasing as necessary. Use a long curved line and double it back on itself. Then, draw a curved line parallel to one side of it to give it a three-dimensional appearance.

4. Use curved lines to enclose two leaf shapes, one partially hidden by the other. Erase as necessary. This is parsley or a similar spice.

5. Draw a curved line down the center of each leaf. Then, draw a slice of tomato. Enclose an irregular half-circle shape with another similar shape inside. Enclose a few small oval-shaped seeds.

6. Use curved lines to enclose a slice of mushroom and a few chunks of vegetables.

7. Enclose another mushroom slice and more irregularly shaped chunks of vegetables on the surface of the soup.

8. Draw a long curved line along the back of the bowl, passing behind the leaves and spoon, to indicate the level of liquid in the bowl. Use short lines to texture the soup around the chunks.

Begin to draw a cloud of steam above the bowl.

9. Use curved lines to complete the first cloud shape and enclose a second, smaller one. This steam shows that the soup is piping hot.

Your cartoon bowl of soup outline is now complete. Color your drawing. Red tomato, white chowder, brown stew - the colors you choose will affect the flavor of your soup!
