How to Draw a Sandwich
Draw a sandwich 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 bread.
Step 1: The top bread
Above the middle of your paper draw a long flat box with soft corners, wider than your hand.
Tip Like a flat pillow.
Step 2: Seeds
Sprinkle 5 tiny rice-grain seeds over the top slice, each tilted a different way.
Step 3: Frilly lettuce
Start at the bottom left corner. Draw 5 round hills hanging under the bread. Stop at the bottom right corner.
Step 4: Cheese slice
Under the lettuce draw a flat cheese slice. Its pointy corners poke out past the bread on both sides.
Step 5: Ham
Under the cheese draw a slab of ham with a wavy bottom edge, like a ribbon.
Step 6: The bottom bread
Under the ham draw another long flat box with soft corners, the same width as the top slice.
Step 7: Pick and olive
Start at the middle of the top edge. Draw a stick straight up and stop. Add a round olive.
Step 8: The plate
Start at the left of the bottom bread. Draw a wide flat oval around under it, back to the right.
Step 9: Yellow cheese, sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the cheese slice yellow and the plate sky blue.
Step 10: Tan bread, pink ham
Colour both slices of bread tan and the ham pink.
Step 11: Green lettuce and olive
Colour the frilly lettuce leaf green and the olive green, leaving its little dot white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a sandwich, drawn by you.
