Step by Step Cereal Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with a Big Bowl Shape
Draw a large U-shaped curve to create the base of the cereal bowl. Then, connect the top with a wide, shallow curve to close the shape. This will be the base where all the fun cereal will go!
Step 2 – Add the Spoon Inside the Bowl
Draw a long diagonal rectangle with a curved top corner to make the spoon. Place it standing up inside the bowl, slightly leaning toward the right. Add a tiny bump at the bottom where it dips into the cereal.
Step 3 – Draw the Cereal Surface
Now add an oval shape inside the bowl’s rim. This creates the top surface of the cereal. Make sure it hugs the inner part of the bowl and goes behind the spoon.
Step 4 – Add Fun Cereal Shapes
Time for the charms! Draw simple shapes like hearts, stars, circles, and clovers floating on top of the cereal. Place them randomly for a fun and playful effect.
Step 5 – Draw More Cereal Details
Add a few more fun shapes to make the cereal bowl look full. You can include a horseshoe, mushroom, or ring. Mix up the shapes for extra charm!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face and Color It In!
Give your cereal bowl a big smile by drawing two dots for eyes and a curved mouth. Now grab your colors and bring your cereal to life! Use bright yellows, greens, pinks, and blues to color each charm.
