How to Draw a Banh Mi
Draw a banh mi 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 plate.
Step 1: A plate
In the middle of your paper draw a big flat oval plate. Leave a space at both sides.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second oval just inside the plate, all the way round, for the rim.
Step 3: Bottom of the loaf
Across the plate draw the bottom half of a long loaf, a fat boat shape leaning up to the right.
Tip A banh mi is a Vietnamese sandwich in a crusty baguette.
Step 4: The crusty top
Above it draw the fat top half, a big round hump from end to end. Leave a gap between them.
Step 5: Crust scores
On the top half draw 3 short slanted lines for the crusty scores.
Step 6: Lettuce
Fill the gap with a frilly lettuce band. Let its bumpy bottom edge hang over the bottom bread.
Step 7: Carrot and cucumber
At the right end draw 2 carrot sticks and a fat cucumber stick poking out of the gap.
Step 8: Herb sprig
At the left end draw 3 little pointed leaves fanning up out of the gap, for fresh herbs.
Step 9: Sky plate, tan bread
Go over your lines. Colour the plate sky blue around the sandwich, then both halves of the bread tan.
Step 10: Orange carrots
Colour the 2 carrot sticks orange.
Step 11: Green lettuce and herbs
Colour the lettuce, the cucumber and the herb leaves green, and your banh mi is done!
