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.

My old bud Ilaria (we’ve been friends on Instagram back when I had Instagram) created this course! I’ve watched her grow from 0 followers, and I’m so, so proud of her!

And believe it or not, there is not 1 single good online course about learning how to draw kawaii art and then making physical stickers on the internet. I’ve been looking for a course like this for a long, long time.

And it’s finally here!!!

You can create your own stickers and print them and sell them on Etsy or any space! She goes into detail about how to draw the characters.

This is by far one of the best courses I’ve taken that is so cute and so educational.

The course is in English, and it’s amazing!

What do you need?

A sketchbook, Photoshop, and a graphic tablet so that you can draw the kawaii characters. If you want to make stickers, you’ll need a printer and sticker sheets.

Even if you don’t want to make stickers and just draw kawaii characters, this course is perfect!

And if you are really keen on improving your drawings or you want to create cute kawaii animals and kawaii people, check out this second course by Sara.

Sara teaches you how to draw anything in a nice kawaii style. I really love these kinds of courses because they’re so easy to learn and it’s very easy to get clients because this is a really relatable drawing style.

It is in Italian but it comes with subtitles and it’s really easy to follow.
