How to Draw a Great Looking French Fries for Kids and Beginners - Step 1

How to Draw French Fries Step 01

1. Begin by drawing a slightly curved, inverted trapezoid. That is, draw a rectangular shape that is slightly wider at the top than it is at the bottom. This forms the front of the fast food box or wrapper.

4. Begin to draw your French fries. Start by drawing a set of parallel lines. Connect them at the top using two short lines. Use two more short lines to enclose an irregular square shape at the top of the French fry. Then, extend a long line down the length of the fry. Erase guide lines as necessary. Enclose the second fry using a long and short straight line, as if it is behind the first fry. Detail the top of the fry using a short, straight line.

Learn More About The French Fries Drawing

Called French fries in North America, these deep fried potatoes are known as chips, finger chips, shoestring potatoes, pommes frites, or papas fritas in other parts of the world.

French fries are served with a variety of toppings, including ketchup, mayonnaise, vinegar, chili, and cheese. They are common side dishes with hamburgers, hot dogs, and other fast food items.

What makes these fries French? Fried potatoes can be traced to Belgium (not France) as early as the 1600s. An early reference to "potatoes served in the French manner" was recorded in 1802. In an 1856 cookbook, there was a recipe for "French fried potatoes."

By the early 1900s, the term "French fried" could be applied to any deep fried dish, including vegetables, onion rings, or chicken.

French fries are no doubt a part of popular culture. In addition to product placement in movies and television shows, this food item shows up in children's toys as well.
