Step by Step Soup Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Bowl Shape
Start by drawing a large oval at the bottom with two vertical sides going up. Curve the bottom to make it round and cozy like a real soup bowl.
Step 2 – Add the Top Rim
Draw an oval across the top of the bowl to create the open top. This is where the soup will sit inside.
Step 3 – Draw the Inner Rim
Inside the top oval, draw a second, smaller oval. This makes the rim look 3D and shows the surface of the soup.
Step 4 – Add Handles
Draw curvy handles on both sides of the bowl. These help carry the soup when it’s hot and make the bowl extra cute!
Step 5 – Add the Bottom Base
Draw another curved shape below the bowl to form a base. This makes the soup bowl look sturdy and ready to serve.
Step 6 – Draw a Happy Face!
Make your soup extra warm and friendly by adding two eyes and a happy smile on the front of the bowl.
