How to Draw Mochi
Draw mochi 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
Below the middle, draw a big flat oval plate, three quarters of the page wide. Add a rim oval inside.
Step 2: The mochi
On the plate's left, draw a plump dome with a flat bottom. Take a round bite from its top left.
Tip Mochi is soft and squishy, so keep every corner round, even at the bite.
Step 3: The filling
Inside the bite, draw a curved band that follows the bite a little way in, end to end.
Step 4: A second mochi
Behind it on the right, draw a smaller soft dome with a flat bottom. Lift your pencil where it hides.
Step 5: A shadow
Under both mochi, draw a thin flat oval shadow on the plate, peeking out at the sides.
Step 6: The table
Draw a line under the plate from well left to well right, just touching its bottom.
Step 7: Pink mochi, sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the front mochi pink, and the plate sky blue around both mochi and the shadow.
Step 8: Grey shadow
Colour the thin shadow under the mochi grey.
Step 9: Green mochi
Colour the back mochi green.
Step 10: Brown filling
Colour the filling in the bite brown, and your mochi is done!
