How to Draw a Macaroon
Draw a macaroon 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: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
A little below the middle of your paper, draw a long flat oval plate, nearly as wide as the paper.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second flat oval just inside the plate for its rim.
Step 3: A big macaroon
On the plate, left of the middle, draw a big round dome with small soft bumps and a flat bottom.
Tip Keep the bumps small and even, like shaggy coconut, with no sharp points.
Step 4: A small macaroon
To the right, draw a smaller bumpy dome tucked behind. Start and stop where it meets the big one.
Step 5: Chocolate dip
Low on each macaroon, draw a soft wavy line across, from one edge to the other.
Step 6: Coconut shreds
Draw 3 short wiggly lines on the big macaroon's top and 2 on the small one, for coconut shreds.
Step 7: The table
Draw a table line under the plate from far left to far right, just touching its bottom.
Step 8: Cream coconut
Colour the tops of both macaroons cream, down to the wavy lines.
Step 9: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, going around the macaroons.
Step 10: Chocolate bottoms
Colour below the wavy lines brown, and your macaroons are done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a macaroon, drawn by you.
