How to Draw a Tagine
Draw a tagine 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 cone lid.
Step 1: The cone lid
Above the middle draw a tall pointy cone for the lid, its bottom edge dipping down like a smile.
Tip A tagine is a clay dish with a tall cone lid for the stew.
Step 2: The knob
On the very point of the cone draw a small round knob, tucked behind the point.
Step 3: The dish
Draw a wide oval rim round the cone's bottom, then a shallow U under it, from end to end.
Tip Stop the oval where it meets the cone, so the lid sits inside the dish.
Step 4: A lid band
Draw 2 bowed lines across the cone, a bit below its middle, from edge to edge.
Step 5: Dots in the band
Inside the band draw a row of 5 small dots, spaced out evenly and following the curve.
Step 6: Dish band
Across the bowl draw one bowed line from side to side, making a band under the rim.
Step 7: Steam
Above the knob draw 2 wiggly steam lines going up, one each side of it.
Step 8: The table
Draw a table line under the dish from well left to well right, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Clay dish and lid
Go over your lines, then colour the cone, the knob and the dish ginger, going around the bands.
Step 10: Teal bands and dots
Colour the lid band and the dish band teal, leaving the dots pale. Your tagine is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a tagine, drawn by you.
