How to draw food
Food is the friendliest thing to draw, because you already know every subject by heart. A strawberry is a rounded shape with leaves on top, a cake is boxes in a stack. Draw the big shape first and save the tasty details for last.
How do you draw food?
Start with the one big shape the food really is: a strawberry is a rounded shape that narrows to a point, an apple is a circle, a cake is a stack of boxes. Close that outline first, then add the parts that name it, the leaves, the stem, the frosting, and scatter the small details last, the seeds and the sprinkles. Food forgives wobbly lines better than almost anything else: a lumpy strawberry just looks ripe, and an uneven cake looks homemade.
Most food uses oval guide shapes, because fruit and buns are rounded. Cakes and sandwiches are the exception: those are boxes, so their guides are rectangles.
Why food is such a good subject
You have held every one of these subjects in your hand. You know without looking that the leaves sit on top of the strawberry and the cherry sits on top of the cake, so your hand already knows where each part goes before the pencil moves. That is a head start no animal tutorial can give you.
The order that works
Big shape, the parts on top, the face if you want one, the small details last. Details always come last for a reason: seeds, sprinkles and chips sit ON the big shape, so the big shape has to exist first. A seed drawn before the berry outline will end up floating outside it.
What comes next
Once you can build one fruit out of a guide shape and its toppings, you can build them all: a cake is the same idea with boxes instead of ovals, and a burger is a stack of ovals that all share the same width. More food tutorials are on the way.
