How to Draw Pancakes
Pancakes are a delightful breakfast option, and they are so versatile! From fluffy buttermilk pancakes to whole wheat banana pancakes, you can get creative and make your favorite stack. Even if you’re not a master chef or an experienced artist, you can learn how to draw pancakes for breakfast-themed art projects.
Gather Your Supplies
You don’t need much to get started! All you need for a basic drawing of pancakes is a pencil and something to draw on. You can upgrade your supplies with a 4H or 6B pencil (you can buy a variety set from any art store). Plus, a set of colorful markers or crayons will be great to bring your pancakes to life.
Start Drawing
Drawing is a lot like piecing a puzzle together – it’s all about starting with the basics. To begin, start with a circle in the center of your paper. Make sure it’s a bit bigger than you want your pancake to be. Now draw two or three circles on the sides, and don’t worry about how exact they are – pancakes are irregular shapes! Then you’ll draw an oval shape around the circles, connecting them all. Once that’s done, trace the outside and make it look like a pancake.
Get Creative
Once you have your basic pancake shape, now it’s time to get creative! Add details to your pancake, like butter, syrup, chocolate chips, berries, or whatever topping you’d like. You can also draw little lines inside the pancake to give it dimension and make it look more realistic.
Add Color
Coloring your pancakes is like icing on the cake! Use whatever colors you’d like to make your pancakes stand out. For a classic yellow look, you can use yellow and brown markers or crayons. You can also get creative and make your pancakes rainbow-colored or even neon.
Once you’ve gathered your supplies and started drawing, the rest is a piece of cake – or we should say, a piece of pancake! You don’t have to be a professional artist to create art – all you need is a little bit of creativity and a lot of practice. Now that you know how to draw pancakes, go ahead and make as many as you want for your breakfast project!
