How to Draw a Sticky Bun
Draw a sticky bun 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: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
A little below the middle draw a big flat oval plate, as wide as your hand.
Step 2: Rim and table
Draw a second oval a finger inside the plate for the rim. Add a table line under the plate.
Step 3: The big bun
Left of middle on the plate, draw a wide oval, then a puffy curve under it from end to end.
Tip A sticky bun is rolled dough baked in caramel and pecans.
Step 4: The spiral
On the big bun's top, start near the middle. Curl round once, getting bigger, out to the edge.
Step 5: A smaller bun
Behind it, up to the right, draw a smaller bun the same way, with a spiral from the middle.
Step 6: Pecans
Between the spiral lines draw 3 small oval nuts on the big bun and 1 on the small bun.
Step 7: Nut lines
Draw a short curved line down the middle of each nut.
Step 8: Caramel puddle
Around the buns draw a big wobbly puddle lying flat on the plate, tucked behind both buns.
Step 9: Sky plate
Go over your lines. Colour the plate sky blue, around the buns and the puddle.
Step 10: Tan buns
Colour both buns tan, around the nuts, leaving the spiral lines showing.
Step 11: Caramel and pecans
Colour the puddle ginger and the pecans brown. Done!
