Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Doughnut Ring
Draw a large circle for the food character’s outer edge. Add a smaller circle near the middle to form the doughnut hole.
Pro Tip: Leave a broad ring between the two circles for the frosting.
Step 2: Add the Frosting Edge
Draw a wavy line across the lower part of the ring. Connect it to both outer sides with several soft downward dips.
Pro Tip: Keep the frosting edge below the central hole.
Step 3: Scatter the Sprinkles
Add small circles and long, narrow rounded sprinkles above the frosting edge. Turn them in different directions and spread them around the hole.
Pro Tip: Leave visible gaps between sprinkles so each shape stays clear.
Step 4: Draw the Left Arm
Curve a small arm downward from the doughnut’s left side. Add rounded hand bumps and join the arm back to the ring.
Pro Tip: Keep the arm narrow compared with the doughnut’s body.
Step 5: Add the Waving Arm
Draw a second arm rising outward from the doughnut’s right side. Round its top into a simple waving hand, then curve back to the body.
Pro Tip: Make the right arm tilt upward to create a welcoming pose.
Step 6: Finish the Legs and Feet
Draw two short legs extending from the doughnut’s lower edge. Widen each into a rounded foot pointing away from the other.
Pro Tip: Space the legs evenly beneath the center of the ring.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
