How to Draw a Pretzel

Using Intersecting Ovals

Draw a large diagonal oval, going from northwest to southeast. Place this near the left side of your paper.

Draw a mirror-image of that oval and intersect them in a way that they would form a heart shape.

Draw a slightly smaller oval within the left large oval, following the same shape and diagonal tilt.

Do the same with the other large oval.

Remove unnecessary lines.

Color the drawing as desired.

Using a Circle

Draw a large circle at the center of the paper. Within that circle, draw two vertical ovals that will intersect each other halfway.

Use this pattern for the twist and knot that a pretzel characteristically have.

Continue tracing the pattern.

From the top line, close the image full circle, with the knot at the center.

Complete the drawing.

Erase unnecessary lines. Add texture details.

Color the drawing as desired.
