How to Draw a Croissant
Draw a croissant 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: the middle puff.
Step 1: The middle puff
In the middle of your paper draw a big fat puff, wide and round on top, narrower at the bottom.
Tip Make it the biggest puff. The others get smaller.
Step 2: Side puffs
On each side draw a smaller puff tipping down, from the middle puff's top corner to its bottom corner.
Step 3: Little puffs
Next to each side puff draw a little puff, lower down, starting and stopping on the side puff.
Step 4: Pointy tips
At each end draw a pointy tip, starting and stopping on the little puff, curling down to a point.
Step 5: A shine
Near the top right of the middle puff draw one short curved line for a shine.
Step 6: The ground
Draw a ground line from well left to well right, just touching both pointy tips.
Step 7: A shadow
Between the pointy tips draw a long flat oval on the ground for the shadow.
Step 8: Ginger middle
Go over your lines. Colour the big middle puff ginger.
Step 9: Ginger sides
Colour the side puffs, little puffs and pointy tips ginger too.
Step 10: Grey shadow
Colour the shadow grey, and your croissant is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a croissant, drawn by you.
