How to Draw a Fortune Cookie

11 steps · Medium · about 8 min

Draw a fortune cookie 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 cookie.

Step 1: The cookie
Draw a puffy crescent in the middle of your paper, points curling down and in. Pinch a dip on top.
Tip Like a fat rainbow with a dent on top.
Step 2: The fold
From each point draw a curve that sweeps up and in to the middle dip.
Step 3: The fortune
Sticking up out of the middle dip draw a slip of paper: a thin tilted rectangle.
Step 4: Writing
On the slip draw 3 short lines for the tiny writing.
Step 5: A shine
Near the top of the left bump draw a short curved line for a shine.
Step 6: A plate
Behind the cookie draw a flat oval plate, wider than your hand. Draw a second oval inside for the rim.
Step 7: Crumbs
Draw 3 tiny bumpy crumbs on the plate: 2 on the right and 1 on the left.
Step 8: The table
Draw a table line under the plate, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the plate sky blue, around the cookie and the crumbs.
Step 10: Tan cookie
Colour the cookie tan. Leave the paper slip white.
Step 11: Brown crumbs
Colour the crumbs brown, and your fortune cookie is done!
