Step by Step Instructions for Drawing a Pie
How to Draw a Great Looking Pie for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing an obtuse scalene triangle, one in which no two sides are the same length. The longest side should be on the bottom. This forms the top of the pie slice.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw a short, straight line downwards from each corner of the longest line. These lines outline the side of the pie, making it appear three dimensional.

3. Round out the edges of the pie. Draw a curved line along the triangle's longest line, the back of the slice, and to enclose the side of the slice between the two short lines.
Drawing Step 4
4. Erase the guide lines left by the original triangle. You will be left with a clean outline of a pie slice.
Drawing Step 5
5. Draw icing dripping from the top of the pie. Do this by drawing a long, wavy line across the side of the pie. The waves should be different lengths - some tall, others short.

6. Draw the pie's crust. To do so, draw a wavy line above the back of the pie. Connect it to the top of the pie on both ends, then draw a long line from the crust to the front of the pie, parallel to the outline of the pie's side.
Drawing Step 7
7. Draw a dab of whipped cream on top of the pie. First, draw a teardrop shape using two curved lines, but do not completely enclose the shape. Then, draw a curved line from one side of the teardrop to the other, enclosing the lower segment of the cream.
