How to draw a corn dog step by step
How to Draw a Corn Dog · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: The corn dog body
Draw a tall, fat rounded shape like a capsule or a long pill, with a curved top and a gently curved bottom. This is the corn dog.
Step 2: The stick
Under the bottom of the corn dog, draw two straight lines going down, side by side. Close them at the end with a small curve to make the stick.
Step 3: Happy face
Near the top of the corn dog, draw two small round dots for eyes. Between them and a little lower, draw a small curved smile like a tiny bowl.
Step 4: Zigzag line
Below the face, in the middle of the corn dog, draw a zigzag line going back and forth like a letter W lying on its side. Start at the top left and keep the points inside the body.
Step 5: The fry box
Next to the corn dog, draw a box that is wide at the top and narrower at the bottom, like a flowerpot. Join the two sides with a flat line along the top and another along the bottom.
Step 6: Tall middle fry
Above the box, draw a tall, narrow rounded rectangle standing in the middle. Let its bottom end at the top edge of the box.
Step 7: Two side fries
Draw a shorter rounded rectangle on the left of the tall fry, and another one the same size on the right. Both should sit on the top edge of the box.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a corn dog
- Draw the capsule body tall and a little wider than you think, so the face and zigzag have room inside.
- For the zigzag, keep the points inside the body and below the face. Go slowly and keep the angles even.
- Make the middle fry the tallest and the two side fries shorter. Let each one end at the top edge of the box.
