More About Drawing Desserts
Are you a chocoholic? Get out every shade of brown in your pencil box, because you can draw chocolate cupcakes, ice cream, pies, donuts, cookies, cakes, and milkshakes.
Maybe you need a cake for a special event. These cake drawing guides make great greeting cards for weddings, anniversaries, and other romantic occasions. And really, any dessert can carry a sweet sentiment!
As you draw, you'll notice that a few shapes dominate these dessert drawings. Cakes, cupcakes, scoops of ice cream, even the glass that holds the milkshake - they are all round. Even the crescent-shaped cookie with a bite from it is mostly round.
The second most common shape is the triangle. That's because slices cut from a round cake or pie are triangular.
Of course, there are also some outliers. For example, the gingerbread house uses rectangular pieces to create its three-dimensional house shape. And its occupant, the gingerbread man, has the traditional humanoid shape of the gingerbread cookie.
After you've finished drawing these delectable desserts, don't forget to color your creations. They'll need brightly hued sprinkles and icing in order to look their best!
