Children love cupcakes. Learn how to draw a cupcake with Monkey Pen’s step-by-step instructions.
Step 1: First draw two vertical lines that lie slanting and parallel to each other. This is a cherry's stem.
Step 2: Then draw a small round for the cherry.
Step 3: Draw an oval that is three-fourths in size for the top layer of creamy frosting.
Step 4: Below it, draw another oval that is incomplete at the bottom and looks wider overall. This is the second layer of frosting from the top.
Step 5: Using gentle curves, create another layer of frosting below.
Step 6: Complete the bottom layer of frosting with soft curves.
Step 7: Draw the cupcake’s outer cover using small flat 'U’s.
Step 8: Finish the outer cover using the same design.
Step 9: Draw a cup that is wider and whose side edges are slanting and whose bottom is slightly rounded.
Step 10: Add vertical stripes within the cup to indicate the pattern.
Step 11: Include tiny ovals randomly within every layer of frosting to show the sprinkles.
Step 12: A sweet cupcake drawing is over.
