A tall stack of pancakes, dripping with syrup and topped with a square pat of butter, is a warm breakfast subject with plenty of appeal. This walkthrough shows how to draw pancakes stacked four high, with syrup running down the sides in slow drips.
Drawing a Stack of Pancakes
Fourteen steps build the stack from the bottom cake to the melting butter on top. You draw each rounded layer in turn, add the pat of butter, then pour the syrup so it pools and drips over the edges before color. Stacking one pancake at a time keeps the pile even.
The Finished Pancake Stack
For more breakfast subjects, the croissant with coffee and the full English breakfast plate pair nicely with this one. All of them sit in the food drawing collection.
