Step 13: Draw a few curving lines across the top, tracing its round shape.

Step 14: Create more curved stripes to add more detail to the topping.

Step 15: On top, create a scalloped, bumpy line to outline the beginning of the rice.

Step 16: Continue to make a bumpy line until you complete the rice shape beneath the top.

Step 17: Include a few tiny curly lines in the rice to show its texture.

Step 18: Draw a long, curved line that will begin the chopstick on the right.

Step 19: Draw a bumpy, scalloped line along the bottom edge to create the shape of new rice.

Step 20: Create a bumpy line at the bottom to make the rice appear airy.

Step 21: Draw two vertically curved bands on the rolls to form a seaweed strip.

Step 22: Create small, curly marks on the rice to display the grain texture.

Step 23: Draw a few small ovals at the top and front to get the fish roe started.

Step 24: Include a few other small, rounded ovals to finish the row with fish roe.

Step 25: Create a small curly tail that extends out from the bottom of the sushi roll.

Step 26: You can also add a few thin curving lines along the tail to highlight the tail section.

This drawing develops the ability to control impulse and build sustained attention. Thinking of new characters or sushi styles is an example of exercising and developing imagination. There is an inherent satisfaction in completing an illustration, and this activity, by itself, is an example of building self-esteem.

In drawing sushi, you also develop the ability to produce a variety of shapes, including circles, ovals, and other forms. The ability to differentiate between and identify a range of colours can also be acquired. In the process of drawing, you can also develop the ability to create a narrative.
