How to Draw a Pupusa
Draw a pupusa in 11 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 top pupusa.
Step 1: The top pupusa
Above the middle draw a wide oval. From its left end draw a thick edge round to its right end.
Step 2: Second pupusa
Under the first pupusa draw a thin smile, then a deeper smile below. Both start and stop at its sides.
Step 3: A pile of slaw
Start on the top pupusa at the left. Draw a bumpy mound over to the right, then close it underneath.
Step 4: Wavy slaw lines
Inside the pile draw 3 short wavy lines, each slanting a different way, for shredded cabbage.
Step 5: Toasty spots
Draw 3 small uneven ovals on the top pupusa for toasty spots, away from the pile.
Step 6: A plate
Start on the left of the bottom pupusa. Draw a wide flat plate round behind it and under the front.
Step 7: Steam
Above the stack draw 2 wavy lines going up, like wiggly worms, one each side of the pile.
Step 8: Salsa puddle
On the plate to the right of the pupusas draw a small flat blob for a puddle of salsa.
Step 9: Sand pupusas
Go over your lines, then colour both pupusas sand, leaving the spots for now.
Step 10: Brown spots, green slaw
Colour the toasty spots brown and the pile of slaw leaf green.
Step 11: Sky plate, red salsa
Colour the plate sky blue around the pupusas and salsa, then the salsa red. Your pupusas are done!
