How to Draw a Bear Claw Pastry
Draw a bear claw pastry in 10 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 the page draw a big oval plate, almost as wide as the paper.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second oval a finger inside the plate, for the rim.
Step 3: Five toes
On the plate draw 5 fat round bumps in a rainbow arch. Start on the left, stop on the right.
Tip The bumps are the toes of the paw.
Step 4: The bottom
From the last bump curve down, across the bottom and up to the first bump.
Step 5: Four cuts
From each dip between the toes draw a straight cut towards the middle of the bottom. Stop halfway.
Tip A bear claw has cuts along one edge so it opens like a paw.
Step 6: Almonds
Draw a small pointed almond sliver on each of the 5 toes, like claws.
Step 7: Icing drizzle
Under the cuts draw 3 thin wavy stripes of icing, slanting up to the right. Make the middle one longest.
Step 8: Cream almonds
Go over your lines. Colour the 5 almond slivers cream.
Step 9: Tan pastry
Colour the pastry tan, around the almonds and the icing stripes. Leave the icing white.
Step 10: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, all around the pastry.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bear claw pastry, drawn by you.
