Today we’re going to draw everyones favourite food… tacos! (sorry burritos ðŸ˜). This one should be pretty easy to follow along. Don’t forget to use the principals in this tutorial to practice other types of delicious hand held foods.
Step 1
As usual, we’ll start with a nice light underdrawing to get the basic shapes down of our delicious taco. The next few steps will be refining that shape. 🌮

Now were going to add a little more detail to our toppings. Make some recognizable toppings here, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes…. whatever floats your boat.

Step 15
Outline the wrapped string at each end of the bow. We are going for the appearance of a string wrapped many time so don’t go to crazy here.
