Step by Step Peppermint Candy Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw a Circle
Start with a big round circle. This is the candy base.
Step 2 – Add the First Swirl Line
Draw a curved line inside the circle from the center to the top edge.
Step 3 – Add More Curves
Draw another curved line to make a pie-slice shape inside the candy.
Step 4 – Complete the Swirls
Continue drawing curved lines until the circle is divided into six swirl sections.
Step 5 – Refine the Swirl Pattern
Make the swirl lines connect neatly in the center like a pinwheel.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
At the bottom of the circle, draw two little eyes and a smiling mouth.
