How to Draw a Dinner Roll
Draw a dinner roll 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 roll.
Step 1: The roll
A little left of the middle draw a big round bun, wider than tall, with a flat bottom.
Step 2: A score line
Near the top of the bun draw a short curved line, starting left of the middle, stopping right of it.
Step 3: A second roll
On the right draw a smaller bun tucked behind: start on the big bun, go round, stop on it.
Step 4: A third roll
On the left, tucked behind the big bun and lower, draw a small bun the same way.
Step 5: Sesame seeds
Draw small slanted ovals for sesame seeds, 4 on the big bun and 2 on each small one.
Step 6: A shine
Along the upper left edge of the big bun draw a thin curved sliver for a shine.
Step 7: A plate
Under the rolls draw a long flat oval plate, skipping behind the buns, and a second oval inside.
Step 8: The table
Draw a table line under the plate from left to right, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Tan rolls
Go over your lines, then colour all 3 rolls tan, leaving the seeds and shine white.
Step 10: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue around the rolls, and your dinner rolls are done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dinner roll, drawn by you.
