How to Draw Kawaii Macarons

Are you excited to start your drawing? Begin by creating the basic shapes of the macarons. This will help you lay a strong foundation for your artwork. Once you have those shapes, you can add some fun details like cute faces and textures that make these macarons so charming. If you enjoy bold outlines, think about going over your pencil lines with a thin black marker to make them stand out even more. Now, let’s get ready to create your very own kawaii macarons!

Time Needed: 45 minutes

1. Draw the Top Shell

   

   First, outline a curved dome shape for the top shell of the macaron. Next, add a bumpy-shaped edge underneath.

2. Add the Bottom Shell

   

   Draw a similar curved shape below the top shell. Then, create a thin ruffled edge on the top part of the bottom shell.

3. Outline the Filling

   

   Between the top and bottom macaron shells, outline the smooth layer of filling.

4. Draw the Face

   

   On the filling, add two circular eyes and a small curved mouth. Then, draw oval-shaped blush marks for extra cuteness.

5. Add Another Macaron

   

   Let’s add another macaron by drawing the top and bottom shells. Then, outline the filling in between the shells.

6. Draw a Cute Sleepy Face

   

   On the second macaron’s filling, draw two downward curves to form its sleepy expression with gently closed eyes. Add a cute curved mouth. Now, outline the oval blush marks.

7. Add a Stacked Macaron

   

   Draw a third macaron stacked on top of the first two by forming the shells and filling similar to the previous steps. Don’t forget to erase overlapping lines.

8. Form a Cute Expression

   

   On the filling of the third macaron, add an energetic cute expression as shown.

9. Color the Kawaii Macarons Drawing

   

   First, use black for the eyes. Next, use orange to shade the blush marks. Color the filling of each macaron white. For the macaron shells, use pastel shades of yellow, blue, and pink.
