How to Draw Minestrone
Draw minestrone in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 soup plate.
Step 1: A soup plate
Below the middle of your paper draw a big flat oval, as wide as your hand: a wide soup plate.
Step 2: The well
In the middle of the plate draw a smaller oval, about two thirds as wide, for the soup.
Tip Minestrone is a chunky vegetable soup with beans and little pasta.
Step 3: The rim band
Between the 2 ovals draw a third oval close to the outer edge, for the rim band.
Step 4: A pasta tube
Left in the soup draw a small oval. From its top, draw a pasta tube left, round to its bottom.
Step 5: Shell and bean
On the right draw a pasta shell: a little dome on a flat bottom. Lower left add a small bean.
Step 6: Carrot and celery
Top right, draw a small round carrot coin. Top left, draw a little U-shaped slice of celery.
Step 7: A basil leaf
In the middle draw a pointy basil leaf leaning up right, with one vein line from base to tip.
Step 8: Cheese
In the gaps between the bits draw 3 small flat flakes of grated cheese.
Step 9: Steam and the table
Above the plate draw 2 wiggly steam lines. Draw a long table line under the plate, left to right.
Step 10: Sky rim, cream bean
Colour the rim band sky blue and the bean cream, leaving the edge and cheese white.
Step 11: Tan pasta, orange carrot
Colour the pasta tube and shell tan and the carrot orange.
Step 12: Green bits, red soup
Go over your lines. Colour the basil and celery green, then the soup red, going around every bit.
