How to Draw a Cannoli
Draw a cannoli 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, wider than your hand.
Step 2: The shell
Across the plate draw a long tube with a thin middle and wide, slanted ends.
Tip A cannoli is a crisp rolled-up pastry tube.
Step 3: Cream on the left
Start at the top tip of the left end. Draw a fluffy bumpy cream cloud round to the bottom tip.
Step 4: Cream on the right
Draw the same fluffy cream cloud out of the right end, from tip to tip.
Step 5: Chocolate chips
Dot 4 tiny chips on each puff of cream, scattered about, not in a line.
Step 6: Ridges
Across the shell draw 3 slanted curves, spread out, from the top edge to the bottom edge.
Step 7: A shadow
Under the cannoli draw a long thin flat oval on the plate for its shadow.
Step 8: The table
Draw a line under the plate from far left to far right, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Tan shell
Colour the shell tan.
Step 10: Sky plate, grey shadow
Colour the plate sky blue and the shadow grey.
Step 11: Brown chips
Leave the cream white. Colour the chips brown. Your cannoli is done!

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