Step by Step Corned Beef Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Main Chunk of Corned Beef
Start by sketching a small rectangular block with slightly rounded sides. Tilt it slightly for a 3D look — this is your main piece of corned beef!
Step 2 – Add the First Slice in Front
Draw a thinner piece overlapping the first block. Make it angled and shorter to look like it was just sliced off.
Step 3 – Draw Another Slice
Now add a third slice in front of the second one. Tilt it outward slightly to create a natural stack of slices.
Step 4 – Place It on a Plate
Draw a large oval beneath the beef. This will be the dinner plate holding all the tasty slices.
Step 5 – Add a Plate Rim for Detail
Draw a second, slightly larger oval outside the first one to create the rim of the plate. Now it looks more realistic and round.
Step 6 – Draw a Cute Face and Color It In!
Let’s give your corned beef some personality! Add two dots for eyes and a smiling mouth. Then color the meat in rich pink or reddish tones, and the plate any color you like.
