In this tutorial we will create a realistic picture of a hamburger. We will use gouache as the main medium. Gouache is an opaque watercolor. Typically, when traditional watercolor is used in a painting, transparent color washes are applied and the artist is forced to rely on the white of the paper for lighter details.

Realistic painting - the magic of gouache

Thanks to gouache, it becomes possible to work both with opaque details and with lighter and more transparent ones, which can be obtained by adding white to the mixture. This means that gouache can be used like other opaque mediums like acrylics or oils. But, since gouache is a form of watercolor, it can also be used in the same way as traditional watercolor, diluted with water.

More about gouache

Gouache is very versatile and can be diluted not only with special opaque additives, but it also has the ability to restore its properties with water. This makes it truly unique.

Acrylic and oil, once dry, cannot be manipulated. Gouache, however, can be used by adding water with a brush, even after it has completely dried. This property gives the artist complete control over the development of the painting.

A notable disadvantage of working with gouache is that when it dries, it becomes a little lighter than when we apply it. A beginner artist may experience some difficulties because of this.

Gouache can be applied with any type of brush, but most prefer to work with brushes specifically designed for watercolor painting.

Materials and process for drawing a realistic hamburger

Two different brands of gouache are used for this tutorial (Winsor and Newton Designers gouache and Reeve gouache). There is a big price difference between the two brands. While the quality of the Winsor and Newton paints is noticeably better, the Reeve paints do quite well.

  1. Gouache Winsor and Newton Designers
  2. Gouache Reeve
  3. Grumbacher Goldenedge watercolor brushes
  4. Arches watercolor paper
  5. graphite pencil
  6. Eraser

Specific colors used:

  1. Basic red
  2. Basic yellow
  3. bright red
  4. moderate yellow
  5. Titanium white
  6. Black ivory
  7. permanent green
  8. yellow ocher
  9. Basic blue
  10. grass green
  11. Burnt Sienna

We will start the process by drawing the contour lines of the hamburger with an "H" pencil on watercolor paper. We draw only contour lines, without adding shadows and feathering.

We will look at each part of the hamburger individually, drawing them in detail before moving on to the next step. Let's start with bread. Brown paint is mixed by combining permanent green and primary red, and then lightened with titanium white and a small amount of primary yellow. Strokes of yellow ocher are also mixed.

The whole part is first painted in the local color. Lighter shades of color are applied from above to the bottom of the top bun and the top of the bottom bun. Water is added with a brush to help smooth color transitions.


The top of the bun is gradually darkened before adding some highlights on the top edge. The hues on the bottom bun also develop further. Added lighter texture strokes and some shadows on each side.


Sesame seeds are added to the top bun, turning a solid color from a mixture of titanium white and yellow ocher. A few shadows are added at the bottom and slightly diluted with water.

Added to the local color of the tomato is a red mixture created by combining primary red and bright red. The color is then refined using darker and lighter shades of the local color.

Once the tomato is complete, the local cheese color is added. A mixture of Primary Yellow and Medium Yellow is used.


The darker and lighter shades of the cheese are added and then blended using some water, which we add with a brush.

Mix dark brown color and apply on both pieces of beef. On top, several layers of lighter tones of this color are applied. Some of them are more concentrated and mixed with yellow ocher, burnt sienna or basic red.


Then we will develop extremely dark tones for both cuts of beef. Much darker colors, created by blending ivory, are added on top and bottom of each piece. Accumulations of highlights are added near the central part of each bun. In order to make the meat more realistic, you can add darker blotches of pepper.


Lettuce color is obtained by mixing titanium white, grass green and a drop of permanent green. We cover the entire lettuce leaf with this color before adding some yellow-green in the lighter areas.

Lettuce color scheme is detailed by adding darker versions of the local color in areas where shadows are needed and in more highlighted areas.


We draw the veins of the lettuce and add highlights, especially along the edges of each leaf.


Blend some areas on the tomato with water before adding shadow under the hamburger. A mixture of brown, ivory black and basic blue is used for shading, and a bit of water is applied to dilute the color a bit, allowing it to fade a bit.


Now our hamburger looks quite good and appetizing. Hungry?


A delicious and mouth-watering hamburger can be made at home with simple ingredients and eaten at a convenient time. But it will be much more interesting if you learn to draw it with colored pencils.

Such a product consists of many ingredients and it is very important to show them in a drawing so that it is immediately clear what exactly is included in it. Indispensable parts of any hamburger are: sesame seed bun, lettuce and meat ingredient.

Necessary materials:

  • - black marker
  • - eraser;
  • - paper;
  • - colour pencils.

Drawing steps:

  1. We draw a hamburger from the upper part, where the half of the bun is placed. This is the top of the hamburger bun. Therefore, sesame should be drawn on it. Under it we will place fresh lettuce leaves.

  1. Under a layer of lettuce leaves, slices of ham with meat layers follow. Under them we will place a tomato. To do this, draw it in the form of a strip.

  1. Add a small flat cutlet after the tomato. Again after it will go a tomato. Next, fill the space with pieces of delicious cheese, which has melted a little and beautifully falls on the bottom row of hamburger ingredients.

  1. Under the cheese there will be another small flat patty and a layer of lettuce. Let's finish creating the hamburger. Therefore, we will finish the last ingredient - the bottom of the bun.

  1. The overall silhouette of the hamburger is ready. Therefore, you can safely take colored pencils and start coloring the drawing. Take pencils from beige to dark green. We color the two parts of the hamburger bun with them.

  1. With the red and dark brown color of the pencils, we will create a natural tone for the tomato slices.

  1. With a yellow and orange pencil, color the layers with melted cheese. The edges and outline can be done with a brown pencil.

  1. We take pencils of green tones and color the lettuce leaves so that they look natural.

  1. Finally, color the flat cutlets with a red light brown and dark brown pencil.

  1. The final finishing touch will be drawing the outline with a black marker. We do it very carefully.

The step-by-step drawing of a hamburger with colored pencils is over. You can draw a plate under the finished dish or a small wrapping paper, as in well-known fast food establishments.

Drawing of a hamburger with colored pencils. In America, fast food is very popular: hot dogs, corn dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers. You can easily cook them yourself or buy them at one of the fast food establishments. In addition, adults and children can easily draw them in a short period of time. Let's take a hamburger for this lesson, which will consist of a plump bun with sesame seeds, greens, a tomato and a patty.

Materials and tools for drawing an American hamburger:

  • colored pencils for coloring;
  • a simple pencil for sketching a drawing;
  • liner;
  • paper.

Hamburger drawing - step by step lesson

Steps to draw a hamburger on a sheet of paper:

Making a shape sketch

Draw two vertical lines in the center of the sheet. We leave a fairly large distance between them. Then we connect the two lines with arcs, which we draw at the top and bottom.

  • We make a sketch with a hard pencil;
  • We try to get into shape right away;
  • Erase the extra lines with an eraser.

So, the contour of the hamburger is ready.

Refine the contour

We begin to form our future hamburger with delicious toppings:

  • First, draw the outline of the cut bun at the bottom and at the top;
  • Next, draw fresh lettuce leaves;
  • We remove extra lines.

Detailed contour ready

Adding realism

Designate the layers of the hamburger, draw:

  • Thin slices of cheese and a large cutlet;
  • Tomato with lettuce;
  • Draw small sesame seeds on the top of the bun;
  • Accurately and plausibly distribute the layers;
  • We make the final contour with a liner or felt-tip pen.

We get a finished linear contour

We begin to fill the finished form with color

We start coloring the hamburger, we take out colored pencils or felt-tip pens:

  • Lettuce leaves in a hamburger are first painted over with a light green pencil;
  • Next, we pick up a couple of other shades of green pencils;
  • Add shadow and volume to the leaves;
  • Now we use the yellow sand shade of the pencil to color the fresh bun, as well as the cheese slices.

ready for the next step.

Reinforcing the main body

We introduce new colors that enhance light and shade contrasts:

  • We use dark shades of brown pencils;
  • We achieve realism, enhance the rounded shape of the buns;
  • Put a drop shadow on the cheese.

Final touches

We continue to introduce color into the hamburger drawing to get the volume and the desired shade.

  • We paint over a large slice of tomato with a red pencil;
  • Brown color - designate a cutlet;
  • Now, finally, we work through the entire drawing with a black pencil to get a shadow.

Many people love hamburgers. Although the exact origin of this fast food sandwich is unknown, it is likely that German immigrants introduced the food to the United States during the 1800s, where its popularity spread. Its name is a demonym, or comes from the city of Hamburg, Germany. Today, fast food restaurants and fine dining restaurants serve hamburgers all over the world.

Although there are familiar fast food chains around the world, their offerings are often somewhat different. For example, in New Zealand or Pakistan, your burger might have a fried egg on top. In Japan, Korea or the Philippines, you can buy hamburgers whose buns are made from steamed rice and pressed into patties. The burger itself can be made with beef, tofu, shrimp, or squid. Some countries don't eat beef, so you can find chicken or vegan burgers instead. And in Mexico, in addition to avocados, your hamburgues maybe ham.

The largest known hamburger weighed over 2,000 pounds. The largest item you can buy in a restaurant is called the "Absolutely Funny Burger", which weighs about 200 pounds and takes twelve hours to make. The most expensive hamburger in the world costs almost $800 and is made with Kobe beef, lobster and Italian prosciutto.

Step by Step Instructions for Drawing a Burger

1. Start by drawing an oval. This does not form the top or bottom, but the middle of the hamburger - the patty.

2. Draw a long, curved line under the oval connected to it on opposite sides. This gives the patty a three-dimensional look.

3. Draw another long, curved line below the shape, connected to the patty on opposite sides. This forms the bottom of the hamburger bun.

4. Draw a large oval crossing the top half of the patty. This will become the top half of the bun.

OTHER EASY DRAWING GUIDES:

5. Erase the guide lines from the bun.

6. Draw some toppings on the hamburger. From under the top bun, extend a pair of curved lines that meet at a point. Draw a line down the middle and you'll have a lettuce leaf. Next draw some tomatoes. Using two curved lines, draw a semicircle within a semicircle. Draw dots to indicate seeds. Then draw an irregular shape using a series of connected "U" shaped lines.

7. Draw more lettuce and tomatoes. Draw the shape of the leaf using short, curved lines that connect at jagged points. Then enclose the semicircle within another semicircle, decorated with seed-like dots.

8. Next you will draw more lettuce and a piece of cheese. For the cheese, enclose triangular shapes coming from under the filling and two different points. Draw a line across each, parallel to one side of the triangle, to give the cheese a three-dimensional look. Erase guide lines as needed. For lettuce, use curved lines that meet at sharp points.
