How to Draw a Pita
Draw a pita 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 round pita.
Step 1: The round pita
Right of the middle draw a big round pita standing up, about as wide as your hand.
Step 2: Puffy rim
Just inside its edge draw a thin line all the way round, for the puffy rim.
Step 3: The half pita
On the left draw a half pita in front: a big U, tipped a little, with a wavy top.
Tip Rub out the round pita's lines inside the half pita.
Step 4: Lettuce
From the wavy top near the right corner draw frilly lettuce spilling over the left corner. Stop on the side.
Tip Rub out the round pita's lines inside the lettuce.
Step 5: Toasty patches
On the round pita draw 3 wavy ovals for toasty patches, each a different size.
Step 6: A plate
Draw a wide flat oval plate under both pitas, with its back edge hiding behind them.
Step 7: Tan pitas
Go over your lines, then colour both pitas tan, but not the lettuce or the toasty patches.
Step 8: Green lettuce
Colour the lettuce green.
Step 9: Golden patches
Colour the toasty patches golden brown.
Step 10: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue around the pitas.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pita, drawn by you.
