How to draw a cute macaron step by step – Easy tutorial for beginners
Please note that I’m using Procreate and drawing this digitally.
You can even use Clip Art Studio as it is beautiful software that most digital artists use, including Manga and Anime artists.
I talk more about how I got started with digital art here.
You can use any tool you want to make this drawing because the process basically is the same. You can use color pencils, pens or crayons – it’s completely your choice!
Let’s begin.
Step 1: Draw the outline of the macaron
Let’s start by drawing the upper macaron – we will start with a simple curve first like this:

Next, we’ll draw the ridges at the end of the macaron.

Draw more ridges on the upper side of the macaron.

Next, we’ll draw the cream under the first macaron.

Next, we’ll draw the rest of the cream – just draw a wavy line.

Lastly, we’ll draw the bottom macaron.

And now, we’ll draw ridges on the second macaron to make it look really realistic.

And we’re done!
Let’s color the macaron now.
Step 2: Color the macaron
Color the macaron any color you want.
I’m going to color it pink.

You can add a nice drizzle on top of the macaron.

And lastly, you can add some sprinkles on top if you want to add more texture.

And we’re done drawing and coloring the macaron.
