Easy Donut Drawing
Learning to draw basic shapes, animals, and food is always fun for drawers of any age. We love breaking down each of the drawings into a step-by-step guide. I also think having the printable drawing tutorial helps in making the drawing come to life.
If you love drawing tutorials as much as we do, then you will not want to miss some of our other easy drawings for kids.
Before you start drawing, we also want to make sure you have the right tools. Here are the drawing paper, and drawing pencils that we like to use.
How To Draw a Donut
The first thing is to grab the free printable drawing of a donut complete with a drawing guide at the bottom of the post.
Donut Shape
The first step is to draw an oval for the middle of the donut.
Donut Icing
The next step is to draw the outside of the donut. Round the top of the donut and draw the bottom part of the donut a slightly wavy line creating the donut icing.
Draw a curved line out the bottom of the ring donut as the base of the donut.
Donut Sprinkles
Next draw a curved line through the middle oval or the inner donut hole.
Then draw small tube sprinkle shapes along the top of the donut.
Next, draw small circles all about the top along with the tubular sprinkles from the previous step.
Once you have the donut drawing how you like it, erase all the light lines and go over the foundation lines with a darker pencil line or pen to create the final donut outline.
The last step is to add the finishing touches to your delicious donut and color in your drawing. Does your donut have pink icing or chocolate? Are your sprinkles rainbow sprinkles or a specific color?
Make your donut your own!
Happy Drawing!
Summer Drawings
Summer is the perfect time for kids to dive into a world of creativity with our fun and easy drawing tutorials! In addition to learning how to draw a donut, they can explore how to draw a palm tree, capturing the essence of tropical beaches.
They can also learn how to draw an ice cream cone, perfect for those hot summer days, or how to draw a pineapple to bring a taste of the tropics to their art. Drawing a sun can brighten up any picture with its warm, cheerful rays, and learning how to draw a jellyfish adds an underwater adventure to their artistic repertoire. These summer-themed drawings offer endless opportunities for kids to express their creativity and enjoy the sunny season on paper!
