Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the First Knob

Start by drawing a curved line to form an incomplete rounded shape for the top knob of the bone. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil grip loose to ensure the curve looks soft and natural.

Step 2: Defining the Shape

Draw a curved line across the top of the knob to give it a cylindrical, 3D look. Then, mirror this on the opposite side to start the second knob. Tip: Imagine you are drawing the end of a real cookie.

Step 3: Adding Depth

Add a curved line across the second knob to match the first. This consistency helps the biscuit look symmetrical. Tip: Use your eraser to clean up any overlapping lines.

Step 4: Connecting the Shaft

Draw the remaining knobs and connect them with long, smooth curved lines to form the shaft of the biscuit. Tip: Try to make these lines one continuous motion for a smoother look.

Step 5: Adding 3D Details

Draw a straight line down the center of the shaft to create a sense of volume. Add small curved lines at the ends of the knobs to show depth. Tip: Keep this line light so it doesn't overpower the drawing.

Step 6: Adding Texture
