How To Draw A Donut Easy

Take Your Taste Buds On An Epic Draw-venture

Do you feel like spending your weekend delightfully indulging in a whimsical treat? Donuts have been the star of sweet desserts since forever and you can even make them at home. And here’s the great news, drawing one isn’t like rocket science! With these easy steps and a few tips, you can draw a donut that’s so delicious, it will make a sugar rush look minuscule in comparison.

Gather Your Weapons Of Choice

To draw an eye-catching donut, you’ll need a few items. Go grab a piece of paper, your favourite box of coloured pencils, and a pencil and a ruler. And you can even grab a few crayons for good measure. Once you’ve collected all these items, you’re ready for take-off!

Let’s Get Rolling!

To start, drawing a donut is 100% easier when you have a shape to work with. Start by using your ruler to draw a long rectangle on the paper. Divide this rectangle into thirds and draw another shorter rectangle on the left side. Make sure that these lines form a roughly rectangular shape – this will form the donut’s outline.
Pro-tip: You can also use a round object, like a cup or saucer, to get the donut shape right.

Now Start Colourizing!

Pick out the colours that you want to use for your donut and start filling in different sections. You can even add some sprinkles for some added sparkle. Now that your canvas has some pretty colours, it’s time to start defining and refining the donut’s shape.

Let’s Put On Our Finishing Touches!

Using your ruler as a guideline, start drawing small lines in the middle of the donut to make the ‘dough’. Now, use a thicker pencil to add details like ridges and squiggles that will make your donut look life-like.
Pro-tip: Add colorful squiggles, dots and stars to decorate your donut further. You can even use a white pencil to draw a ‘glossy’ effect on your donut.

Get Creative To Make Your Donut Even More Stunning!

Free up your imagination and create a donut like no other. Add layers of details like inside decorations and frosting. You can even paint a rainbow of pastel colours to your donut. And why not finish it off with a flower or two in the centre?

Give It The Finishing Touch!

Once your donut is done, get creative with how you want to display it. Combine a few donuts together for an eye-catching multi-tiered donut display, or draw a Cupid’s arrow to make your donut look loveable. The possibilities are truly endless!
So, say goodbye to dull weekends and hello to exciting donut-drawing day! Get creative, spend some time on refining your details and know that when you look at that donut on the paper, you made it with your own two hands. And the taste of that accomplishment is definitely sweeter than any donut you’ll ever eat!
