How to Draw Tofu
Draw tofu in 14 easy steps, about 11 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 block.
Step 1: The block
In the middle draw a big box with soft corners, a little wider than it is tall.
Tip Tofu is soft, so round the corners a little.
Step 2: A happy face
On the box draw 2 round eyes with a dot in each, a smile between them and 2 cheeks.
Step 3: The top
Start at the top-left corner. Slant up to the right, go straight across, then slant down to the top-right corner.
Step 4: The side
Start at the top's far right corner. Go straight down, then slant down-left to the box's bottom-right corner.
Step 5: Soy sauce
On the top draw a long flat oval puddle of soy sauce, leaning the same way as the top.
Step 6: Scallion rings
Inside the puddle draw 3 tiny flat ovals in a row for chopped scallion rings.
Step 7: A small cube
Left of the block draw a little square with soft corners. Add a thin slanted top and right side.
Step 8: Another cube
Right of the block draw a second cube the same way, a little smaller, standing level with the first.
Step 9: The plate
Round all the tofu draw a big flat oval plate. Add a second oval just inside it for the rim.
Tip All 3 pieces sit inside the rim.
Step 10: The table
Draw a long table line from left to right, just touching the bottom of the plate.
Step 11: Cream and pink
Go over your lines. Colour the tops and sides cream, around the sauce, and the cheeks pink.
Tip The fronts stay white.
Step 12: Green scallions
Colour the 3 scallion rings green.
Step 13: Brown sauce
Colour the soy sauce puddle brown, around the green rings.
Step 14: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue around the tofu, and your tofu is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: tofu, drawn by you.
