Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The outer crust
Draw a big wavy bread top like a heart with a small dip in the middle. Then bring both sides straight down to make the sides of the slice.
Step 3: The bottom crust
Join the two sides with a flat line along the bottom, like the floor of the slice.
Step 4: The inner bread
Inside the crust, draw a smaller bumpy heart shape on top. Then go straight down on both sides and close it with a flat bottom line.
Step 5: The butter pat
Near the dip at the top, draw a rounded rectangle. Give it a wiggly, drippy bottom edge with a few little bumps.
Step 6: The sleepy face
Low on the bread, draw two small dots for eyes, wide apart. Between them draw a small curved smile, then add a little oval cheek on each side.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a slice of toast
- Draw the crust first, then the inner bread, and keep an even gap between them so the crust looks like a border.
- Make both bumps at the top about the same size, and let the two curves meet in a small dip in the middle.
- Draw the butter's drippy bottom edge slowly, using small round bumps, and keep the top edge straight.

Toast gets its golden color and toasty smell from the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between sugars and amino acids in the bread when it is heated.
