How to Draw a Caramel

11 steps · Medium · about 8 min

Draw a caramel 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: top caramel.

Step 1: Top caramel
Above the middle, draw a soft square with round corners. Add a slanted top and a side.
Tip Round every corner a little, so it looks soft and chewy, not like a box.
Step 2: Left caramel
Below it on the left, draw a soft square the same size. Its slanted top tucks under the top caramel.
Step 3: Right caramel
Right beside it, touching, draw one more with its top and a side. Lift your pencil at the top caramel.
Step 4: Wrapped caramel
To the right, a little lower, draw a smaller soft square for one more caramel, still in its wrapper.
Step 5: Twisted ends
On each side, draw a short neck, then a fan with a V cut in its end, for the twists.
Step 6: Shines
In the top left corner of each caramel, draw a short curved line for a shine.
Step 7: A plate
Draw a flat oval plate under the caramels. Curve an edge under its front, starting and stopping at its sides.
Tip Lift your pencil where the plate goes behind the caramels.
Step 8: The table
Start left of the plate and draw a straight table line along its bottom, stopping past the right side.
Step 9: Sky plate
Go over your lines, then colour the plate and its edge sky blue, around the caramels.
Step 10: Light tops
Colour the tops of the 3 caramels tan.
Step 11: Golden caramels
Colour the fronts, the sides and the wrapped caramel ginger. Leave the wrapper ends white.
