Step-by-pace Kawaii Sushi Tutorial

How to draw kawaii sushi temaki step-by-step

Step #1: Depict the Kawaii Sushi Outline

The first footstep, when drawing kawaii sushi, is to create the base shape. To start, we want to turn on the drawing guide in Procreate. Since nosotros are drawing Temaki sushi (and it looks like a rhombus), we'll create a cantankerous every bit our guide to add a rhombus shape to afterwards. This drawing guide volition sit on a divide layer, so it doesn't interfere with the outline.

Hither is what your drawing should look like at this stage:

Step 1 - create the drawing guides

Using our drawing guide, we're going to starting time to depict the rough shape of the kawaii sushi. To do this, we'll create triangles using the cross shape.

When creating the triangles, try to brand certain there is the same amount of space on each side. Hither is what information technology should look like when you end this step:

Step 2 - draw the rhombus shape for our kawaii sushi

At this indicate, it doesn't need to be pretty. It's but edifice the foundation for what our Temaki sushi volition be. In one case we take the basic kite shape, nosotros'll create another layer.

Much like a real Temaki, kawaii sushi doesn't take sharp corners. And then instead nosotros want to create rounded edges at the height and in the front end. The front arc will requite us the effect of an opening where we'll later add some fun fillings.

Now your drawing should look something like this:

Step 3 - add the top shape of the seaweed

And so the bottom of the Temaki usually has a hole in it, where some more goodness pops out. It's not going to exist this sharp point; instead, it'due south rounded. To create this, you'll connect the two long lines with the rounded border at the bottom, like this:

Step 4 - draw the kawaii sushi outline

If you're using paper and pencil, you lot will erase your guidelines at this bespeak. If y'all're drawing in Procreate, so y'all'll turn off the bottom layer.

Step #2: Create Your Temaki Sushi Fillings

Next, we'll create some fun fillings for our kawaii sushi drawing. If you are in Procreate, create a new layer so you can motion things around without effecting the drawing guides.

Sushi Rice

To outset, we'll add a brawl of rice.

In kawaii, we utilise symbols to bear witness what's there. We're not going to draw every single grain of rice. Instead, nosotros're going to give it a squeamish curved edge to hint that there is some sushi rice in the scroll. It looks as though a little cloud has landed into our Temaki. 🙂

Your sushi rice should look something similar this:

Add rice to our temaki sushi drawing

Avocado Slices

The next filling we're going to add is avocado slices. To create this filling, nosotros're going to draw ii half-circles (1 in front of the other) that announced to come out of the rice.

Instead of trying to create the shape around the rice, draw direct through it and then erase the parts you don't desire after.

Your cute kawaii avocado filling should look something similar this now:

Step 5 - add the avocado slices

Footstep #three: Draw a Kawaii Sushi Confront

The final piece of our Temaki sushi is a face. If you're in Procreate, you'll want to create some other layer so nosotros tin move it around if necessary.

Using the drawing guideline nosotros created in stride #1, we'll draw the eyes, making sure that they are spaced out every bit and appear to be at the same height. Then nosotros'll add some cheeks and a big smiling mouth.

Information technology's always good to put cheeks in kawaii. Information technology makes the drawing a lot cuter! Please don't feel like yous need to describe the aforementioned kawaii face up I used. Just add your favorite kawaii face here!

The features we added should make the whole character appear to be balanced and symmetrical. I too added some petty white dots in the eyes using the eraser tool. It brings the grapheme to life and gives it some sparkle.

Afterwards we added the kawaii face, our Temaki sushi should look something like this:

Step 6 - add a face to the sushi drawing

Stride #iv: The Final Kawaii Sushi Outline

The last step is to create a polished outline. To do this, make some other layer (if using Procreate). I am using the monoline castor in blackness because it has even thickness, and it has the streamline option. I fabricated a video to show you how to create smoothen lines in Procreate, if that'south something y'all struggle with.

If you're using paper and pencil, use a thick marker or a felt-tip pen.

In one case yous've finished the outline, you can turn off the other layers or erase your pencil lines and voilà – your final kawaii sushi cartoon is all ready for beautifying.
