A served holiday plate, with sliced turkey under a pour of gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans, tells a cozier story than the whole bird. This walkthrough shows how to draw a turkey dinner, working from the large portion and its four carved slices to the little cup of gravy in the middle.
Drawing a Thanksgiving Dinner Plate
Sixteen steps take the plate from empty to full. You lay down the plate, add the turkey portion and its slices, pour the gravy over the top, then set the mashed potatoes, the green beans, and the sprig of herbs. Each helping gets its own step.
The Finished Dinner Plate
This one works nicely next to the whole roast turkey on a platter if you want both the table centerpiece and the served plate. Both belong to the wider food drawing collection.
