How to Draw Baklava
Draw baklava in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: a diamond top.
Step 1: A diamond top
A little left of the middle draw a wide flat diamond, about a hand across and not very tall.
Step 2: The front
Start at the left corner. Draw 2 front faces under the diamond, a thumb tall, stop at the right corner.
Tip Now it is a flat diamond block, like a gem.
Step 3: Pastry layers
Across both front faces draw 4 thin lines that follow the top edges, for the flaky pastry layers.
Step 4: A second piece
Behind it, to the right, draw a smaller diamond block. Start at its left corner, stop at its right corner.
Step 5: Its layers
Draw 4 thin layer lines across the second piece too.
Step 6: Pistachio crumbs
Sprinkle 8 little oval crumbs on the tops: 5 on the big piece and 3 on the small one.
Step 7: A plate
From the big piece's left side, draw a big oval plate round under both pieces to the small piece.
Step 8: The table
Draw a line under the plate from far left to far right, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Tan sides, sky plate
Go over your lines, then colour the front faces tan and the plate sky blue.
Step 10: Golden brown tops
Colour both diamond tops golden brown, going around the crumbs.
Step 11: Green pistachios
Colour the crumbs green, and your baklava is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: baklava, drawn by you.
