How to Draw a Cream Puff
Draw a cream puff 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: the top bun.
Step 1: The top bun
Above the middle draw a wide, round bun top with soft lumps all round, as big as your fist.
Tip Keep it wide and lumpy, with no point on top.
Step 2: The cream
Start at the left end of the bun. Draw bulging cream, bumpy along the bottom, up to the right end.
Step 3: The bottom bun
Start just left of the cream. Bow down and round underneath, and stop at the right.
Step 4: Chocolate top
Start on the left side of the bun. Draw a wavy line with 3 soft drips across to the right side.
Step 5: A plate
Under the bun draw a long flat oval plate.
Tip Lift your pencil where the plate passes behind the bun.
Step 6: The rim
Just inside the plate draw a second flat oval for the rim.
Step 7: The table
Draw a table line under the plate from far left to far right, touching its bottom.
Step 8: White filling
Go over your lines. Leave the cream white, or colour it with a white crayon.
Step 9: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, going around the bottom bun.
Step 10: Tan bun
Colour the top and bottom bun tan, going round the chocolate.
Step 11: Brown chocolate
Colour the chocolate top brown. Your cream puff is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a cream puff, drawn by you.
