How to Draw a Burger and Fries · tinyhandscreate.com
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 top bun
Draw a big dome shape like half a circle, with rounded sides. Close it with a long, slightly curved line across the bottom.
Step 3: Lettuce layer
Start at the bottom left corner of the bun and draw a small curve that bulges out to the left. Then draw a long wavy line across to the right for ruffly lettuce.
Step 4: The patty
Under the wavy line, draw a rounded side that bulges out on the left. Close the layer with a long, gentle line across the bottom.
Step 5: Bottom layers and box side
Under the patty, draw another rounded left side with a short line across, then a big curve for the bottom bun that runs into a long flat line. At the right end, draw a slanted line going up, like the right side of a box.
Step 6: The fry box front
Draw the slanted left side of the box, in front of the burger. Join it to the top with a wavy line that dips in the middle.
Step 7: Fries and face
Draw a few long, thin rectangles poking out of the box, one tall in the middle and shorter ones on each side. Add a curved line on the right side of the burger behind the fries, then give the burger two round dot eyes and a tiny smile.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a burger and fries
- Draw the top bun first and make it wider than you think. Every layer underneath needs to fit below it.
- The wavy lettuce line can be tricky. Try making a row of soft hills and valleys, going slowly, instead of one long wiggle.
- Draw the fry box in front of the burger. Stop the burger lines where they touch the box so it looks like the box is closer to you.

Questions about drawing a burger and fries
What shapes do I need to draw a burger and fries?
You need a half circle for the top bun, long rounded layers under it, and a box shape for the fries. The fries themselves are just skinny rectangles.
How do I make my burger look cuter?
Put two round dot eyes on the layer under the lettuce, with a tiny smile between them. Keeping the eyes far apart makes the face look sweeter.
How do I draw the lettuce so it looks ruffled?
Draw a wavy line made of soft bumps across the burger, like a gentle roller coaster. It is fine if the bumps are not all the same size.
