How to Draw Shakshuka
Draw shakshuka 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 skillet.
Step 1: The skillet
In the middle draw a big wide oval pan seen from above, with a second oval a finger inside it.
Tip Shakshuka is cooked and served in the pan, so the pan is the plate.
Step 2: The handle
From the pan's right side draw a long thin handle sticking out, with a tiny round hole near its end.
Step 3: 3 eggs
Inside the pan draw 3 wobbly egg whites of different sizes, none touching, scattered unevenly round the pan.
Tip 2 eggs side by side with 1 below would look like a face.
Step 4: The yolks
In each egg white draw a round yolk, a little off centre, each a different size.
Step 5: Pepper and bread
Between the eggs draw 2 chunky curved pepper strips, and under the big egg a small bread wedge, not touching.
Step 6: Herb leaves
Scatter 3 small pointed leaves over the sauce, not touching anything.
Step 7: Steam
From just above the pan's top edge, draw 2 wiggly steam lines going up.
Step 8: Yellow yolks, green herbs
Go over your lines. Colour the yolks yellow and the herbs green. Leave the egg whites white.
Step 9: Tan bread, orange pepper
Colour the bread tan and the 2 pepper strips orange.
Step 10: Red sauce
Colour the sauce red, around the eggs, pepper, bread and herbs.
Step 11: Slate pan
Colour the pan's rim and the handle slate grey, and your shakshuka is ready to dip!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: shakshuka, drawn by you.
