The team of Drawingforall.net is very fond of cinema and loves to watch movies with a bucket of popcorn. So, in this tutorial, we will show how to draw popcorn.

There are many simple tutorials at Drawingforall.net, and this is one of them. We believe that even an inexperienced artist will be able to draw popcorn without any problems.

How to draw popcorn step by step

Step 1: Form the popcorn bucket

Since popcorn is usually served in a bucket, we will begin with this part. Sketch a cylindrical shape, depicting the sides of the bucket with two oblique lines. Then create the bottom edge with a curved line and the top edge with an oval. By the way, to check your popcorn drawing, look at it in a mirror. This can help you notice inaccuracies.

Step 2: Fill it with popcorn

Now depict the most important part: the popcorn. Use a large number of curly lines for this. Start with the outer contour of the popcorn, then create the texture inside it. Do not try to make all the popcorn pieces the same. The more varied they look, the better.

Step 3: Clean up the drawing

Now let’s make the popcorn drawing clean and clear. Use an eraser to remove the excess guidelines that we no longer need. Next, darken the remaining lines with a darker pencil or ink so the drawing looks sharper and more distinct.

Step 4: Add shadows and complete the drawing

Finally, give the popcorn drawing a little volume and realism. First, add hatching to the bucket and draw the cast shadow on the surface. Then use short strokes to add light shadows to the individual pieces of popcorn.

So we have completed the tutorial on how to draw popcorn. Try adding an inscription or an image to the bucket to make your drawing more interesting.
