How to Draw a Dolma
Draw a dolma 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 first roll.
Step 1: The first roll
A little left of the middle draw a fat, short roll with round ends, tilting up to the right.
Tip Fat and short, like a rolled-up sleeping bag.
Step 2: A second roll
Tucked behind the right end of the first roll, draw a second fat roll tilting down to the right.
Step 3: A third roll
Under the first 2 draw a third roll lying almost flat, tucked behind the first.
Step 4: Leaf folds
Across each roll draw a curved fold line from edge to edge, with a short vein growing out of it.
Step 5: A lemon wedge
Right of the bottom roll draw a lemon wedge: a half round, flat side down, with segments inside.
Step 6: A yogurt cup
On the right draw a flat oval with a small one inside, then a U from end to end.
Step 7: A plate
Draw a big flat oval plate around everything, with a second oval inside it for the rim.
Step 8: The table
Draw a line under the plate, a little wider than it, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Yellow lemon, cream cup
Go over your lines, then colour the lemon wedge yellow and the little cup cream, leaving the yogurt white.
Step 10: Sky blue plate
Colour the plate sky blue around the rolls, the lemon and the cup.
Step 11: Green rolls
Colour all three rolls green, and your dolma are done!
