How to draw Christmas Pudding 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 Christmas pudding

Let’s start by drawing the top of the Christmas pudding – just draw a simple U shaped curve like this:

Next, complete the curve – pretend you’re drawing an upside down bowl or flan.

Now, we need to draw the glaze.

Draw curvy droopy wavy lines like this: they needn’t be perfect. I just draw different sized U shapes and join them all.

Next, draw 2 cherries on top of the christmas pudding.

Then, erase the overlapping lines behind the cherries.

Finally, draw the holly leaves that are super famous – just draw little u shapes.

Next, you can add a face to your Christmas pudding if you want to make it more cuter.

And finally, draw a simple plate underneath the Christmas pudding like this:

Easy, right?

Now, we’ve finished drawing the Christmas pudding – all that’s left is to color it!

Step 2: Color the cute Christmas pudding

Christmas puddings are usually dark brown so I’m going to color it dark brown and then add some spots to make it look really soft and spongy.

Next, I’ll color the glaze a cream color like this:

Next, we’ll color the cherries red and the holly leaves green.

Lastly, you can color the plate. You can color the plate any color you want!

And we’re done drawing and coloring the Christmas pudding!

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.
