How to Draw a Slice of Cheesecake (Easy Step by Step)
A slice of cheesecake is a fun first dessert to draw because it is mostly boxes, wavy lines, and one little strawberry. You build it from a tall box, a pointy wedge on top, and a ripple of sauce. Once the shapes are down, a smiling face makes it look happy enough to eat.

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: Side and back bump
Draw a tall box shape: start with the left edge, then a slightly curved bottom line, then the right edge going straight up. At the top right, add a short line going left and a rounded bump that curves down to meet the right edge.
Step 3: Top edge and slope
Draw a long, almost straight line across the top of the box, from the left edge to the right edge. From its left end, draw a straight line sloping up to the right to make the pointy top of the slice.
Step 4: Crust curve
At the top right, draw a short curved line just inside the rounded bump. It shows how thick the back of the cake is.
Step 5: The crust stripe
Near the bottom, draw one long line across the side, just above the bottom line. It makes the crumbly crust layer.
Step 6: Wavy topping
Just under the top edge, draw a line of smooth bumps and dips, like gentle waves, going all the way across. It looks like sauce dripping down the cake.
Step 7: The strawberry
On top of the slice, draw a rounded strawberry shape that is wider at the top and pointed at the bottom. Add a little leafy cap on top and a few tiny seed dots inside.
Step 8: Cute face
In the middle of the side, draw two small round dots for eyes. Between them and a little lower, draw a small curved smile.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a slice of cheesecake
- The wavy sauce line is the trickiest part. Practice a row of gentle hills and valleys on scrap paper first, and keep the bumps about the same size.
- Draw the sloping top line with one steady, slow stroke so the wedge looks straight and pointy.
- Make the strawberry round at the top with a point at the bottom. Add the leafy cap and the seed dots last so they sit neatly on it.

The tiny "seeds" on the outside of a strawberry are each a separate little fruit, and one strawberry has about 200 of them.
