Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 3 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The basket bowl
Draw a wide, rounded bowl shape: start at the upper left, curve down, run across a flat-ish bottom, and curve back up on the right. Leave the top open for now.
Step 3: The cloth band
Across the top of the bowl, draw a long, slightly wavy line, then add a second wavy line above it to make a fat band. Curve the ends around on both sides to close the band.
Step 4: Cloth flap and cuts
On the right, draw a curved line that slants down from the cloth band to the right side of the basket, for a flap folded over the front. Then, above the cloth on the right, draw three short slanted dashes, one above the other.
Step 5: Top of the bun
Above the middle of the cloth, draw a half circle that opens downward, like a little rainbow. This is the rounded top of the bun.
Step 6: The left baguette
On the left, draw a long, tall oval that leans to the left. Start at the cloth, curve up to a rounded tip, and come back down toward the cloth, crossing the edge of the bun.
Step 7: The right baguette
On the right, draw another long oval leaning to the right, around the three dashes. Start at the cloth, curve up to a rounded top, and come back down toward the cloth next to the bun.
Step 8: Cute face
Give the bun a face. Draw two small round dots for eyes, then add a tiny curved smile between them, a little lower.
Step 9: Left baguette cuts
On the left baguette, draw two short, slightly curved lines, one above the other. Slant them the same way as the dashes on the right loaf.
Step 10: Basket stitches
Across the basket below the cloth, draw a row of short dashes in a line. Make the dashes about the same size, with even spaces between them.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a basket of bread rolls
- Draw the two tall loaves as stretched ovals that lean away from each other, leaving a gap in the middle for the little bun.
- The cloth band is the trickiest part, so draw its top and bottom lines first, then join the ends with curves on each side.
- Keep the face small and low on the bun, with the smile tucked between the eyes and just under them.

Bakers cut slashes into the top of a baguette before baking it. The cuts give steam and gas a place to escape, so the loaf can expand without bursting in odd places.
