How to Draw a Matcha Whisk Bowl
Draw a matcha whisk bowl 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 bowl.
Step 1: The bowl
Start at the top left. Curve a wide deep bowl round, up to the top right. Add a foot underneath.
Tip A matcha bowl is wide and round, like a big cereal bowl.
Step 2: The rim
Across the top draw a big flat oval for the rim, from the left tip round to the right tip.
Step 3: The tea
Inside the rim draw a slightly smaller flat oval for the top of the frothy tea.
Step 4: Bubbles
On the left half of the tea draw 3 tiny round bubbles of different sizes in a slanting row.
Step 5: Whisk head
A hand above the rim draw a small oval band. Bow 4 thin lines out and down into the tea.
Tip Bend them out like a balloon, then in a little where they reach the tea.
Step 6: The handle
From the band draw the handle straight up: 2 close lines with a rounded top, well above the bowl.
Step 7: More prongs
Add 3 more bowed prongs in the gaps, each from the band down to the tea. Now there are 7.
Step 8: The table
Draw a long table line under the foot, from left to right.
Step 9: Tan bowl
Go over your lines, then colour the bowl and foot tan, and the thin rim ring cream.
Step 10: Green tea, sandy whisk
Colour the tea bright green and the whisk handle and band sand, and your matcha bowl is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a matcha whisk bowl, drawn by you.
