How to Draw Oatmeal
Draw oatmeal 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
Above the middle of your paper draw a wide flat oval, as wide as your hand, for the bowl's top.
Tip Look down into the bowl a little: the top is a flat oval.
Step 2: The bowl
Start at the left end of the oval. Draw a big U down and round, stopping at the right end.
Step 3: The foot
Draw a short stand under the bowl: start at bottom left, go down, across, and stop at bottom right.
Step 4: The table
Draw a long table line under the foot, from well left of the bowl to well right of it.
Step 5: The oatmeal
Inside the rim draw a second flat oval a finger inside it, for the top of the oatmeal.
Step 6: Banana slices
On the oatmeal draw 3 flat round banana slices: left, low middle and right. Dot 3 tiny seeds in each.
Step 7: Blueberries
Dot 4 small round blueberries on the oatmeal in the gaps, none touching the banana.
Step 8: A spoon
Right of the middle draw a spoon leaning up out of the bowl to the right, like a long stick.
Step 9: The stripe
Start on the bowl's left side under the rim. Draw a bowed stripe round and stop on the right side.
Step 10: Steam
Start a little above the rim and draw 2 wiggly steam lines going up, side by side.
Step 11: Yellow banana, tan oatmeal
Colour the banana slices yellow. Colour the oatmeal tan, going around the fruit and the spoon.
Step 12: Blue berries, grey spoon
Colour the blueberries blue and the spoon grey.
Step 13: White bowl, purple stripe
Colour the band between the rim and the stripe purple. Leave the rest of the bowl white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: oatmeal, drawn by you.
