A sushi roll lying on its side, with salmon and cucumber peeking out the top and swirly spiral eyes on the nori, makes a cheerful little character. This walkthrough shows how to draw a kawaii sushi roll, keeping the round shape simple while the face brings it to life.
Drawing a Cute Sushi Roll
Thirteen steps carry the roll from a plain cylinder to a smiling snack. You block in the horizontal body first, add the fish and cucumber on top, then draw the spiral eyes and the grinning mouth on the green wrap before color. The spirals give it real personality.
