How to Draw Gnocchi
Draw gnocchi in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 rim.
Step 1: The rim
A little below the middle draw a wide flat oval for the top of the bowl, about a hand wide.
Step 2: The bowl
Start at the left end of the oval. Draw a big U down and round, up to the right end.
Step 3: The foot
Under the bowl draw a short stand: start on the bottom left, go down, across, and up to the right.
Step 4: The sauce
Inside the rim draw a second flat oval, a finger inside it, for the sauce.
Step 5: Three gnocchi
On the sauce draw 3 little fat ovals side by side, tilted this way and that.
Tip Each one is like a tiny pillow.
Step 6: Two more in front
In front of them draw 2 more fat ovals. Rub out the back lines inside them.
Step 7: Fork marks
On each gnocchi draw 2 short lines across the middle, not reaching the edges.
Step 8: Sage leaves
Draw 2 long pointed leaves peeking out from under the gnocchi, each with a line down the middle.
Step 9: A stripe and steam
Draw a bowed stripe round the bowl under the rim, from side to side. Add 2 wavy steam lines above.
Step 10: The table
Draw a line under the foot from left to right, just touching its bottom.
Step 11: Cream gnocchi
Go over your lines, then colour all 5 gnocchi cream.
Step 12: Red sauce, green sage
Colour the sauce red, going around the gnocchi, and the sage leaves green.
Step 13: Blue stripe, white bowl
Colour the band between the stripe and the rim blue. Leave the rest of the bowl white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: gnocchi, drawn by you.
