11 Easy Food Doodles: Step-By-Step Tutorials
Learning how to doodle has never been more fun—or delicious! Whether you’re sprucing up your Bullet Journal, creating personalized cards, or just enjoying a relaxing hobby, food-inspired drawings can add a playful flair to your pages.
These tutorials break down easy food doodles into simple, bite-sized steps (pun intended). You don’t need to be an artist; just grab a pen and a pinch of creativity.
By the end, you’ll have a buffet of doodles that look good enough to eat. So, are you ready to fill your notebook with some seriously cute snacks? Let’s dig in!
Doodling isn’t just for notebook margins during a meeting—it’s a superpower you didn’t even know you had. Beyond being fun, doodling comes with a ton of benefits.
For one, it’s a fantastic stress reliever. When you’re zoning into the simple act of drawing, your mind takes a nice little break from life’s chaos. It’s like meditating, but with a pen.
Plus, doodling can boost your focus and memory—great news for anyone trying to keep track of their to-do lists, whether in a Bullet Journal or on a scrap of paper. Who knew something so simple could do so much?
Now, let’s talk about creativity. Spoiler alert—you don’t have to be born with some mystical “creative gene” to doodle. That’s a myth that holds so many people back!
Doodling is a skill, just like learning to cook or ride a bike.
And how do you get better at any skill? Practice. Tutorials, like the ones you’re about to jump into, provide clear, easy-to-follow steps that make doodling accessible for anyone.
Even if your first avocado looks more like a lopsided potato, the important part is to keep going. Perfecting your doodle game takes time, but every pencil stroke is progress.
And if, after looking at all these tutorials, you still feel like you need more help, I’ve created a FREE course on doodling for beginners.
It will go into all the details and tricks you need to know to become a master doodler, even if you’ve never doodled before. Check the end of the post for all the details.

Stationery Recommendation
Ready to start doodling? Let;’s get comfortable and look at some supplies that can help you with the practice and make them look even better.
So, here are some of my recommendations:
- Notebook. I always think it’s a good idea to have a separate doodling notebook; that way, you have a journal with doodle ideas, and you can see your progress. You don’t need anything fancy for that; Lemome Dotted Bullet Notebook works just as well.
- Pencil and eraser. A pencil is your secret weapon when it comes to doodling. Start all your doodles with a pencil, and you’ll be able to avoid a lot of errors and make it look better before you use a pen. You need a pencil with a comfortable grip and an eraser that won’t leave any streaks. I recommend Pilot Dr. Grip pencil and Sakura Foam eraser.
- Fineliners. These are the best pens to do your doodling, and I definitely recommend using Sakura Pigma Micron – they come in a set with different nib sizes so you get a variety of line thicknesses.
- Colorful markets. If you like color on your doodles like I do, you’ll want to get some markers. I always recommend Crayola Super Tips, because they come in a pack of 100 colors and are very affordable.
You certainly don’t need all these supplies to get started. A simple pencil is enough to doodle. However, using cute and colorful pens can make the experience even more enjoyable!
Now that you’ve got your pens ready, let’s dive into some doodling fun!
Easy Doodling Tips
Doodling is all about practicing, and there is no better way to do it than following a tutorial. Before we look into it, though, let me share my best tip, or more like two tips.
First of all, doodling is all about seeing things in basic shapes. Even the most elaborate doodles are made of basic shapes.
See any doodle as a combination of squares, circles, and triangles and start doodling that way. That will help you create a structure for your doodle, and after that, it will be all about smoothing the edges and styling it.
This is where the second tip comes into play – start doodling with a pencil. Use Penci to build a structure for your doodle and customize and style it, so by the time you use a permanent pen, you’re absolutely happy with the way your doodle came out.
As you can see, doodling is pretty easy; all you need to do is practice, and you’ll learn to see everything in basic shapes and get better at styling it.
That’s why I also often recommend using a notebook instead of just doodling on any scrap of paper – that way, you can see your progress.
Ok, you now know all the basics you need to start doodling, so let’s look at these tutorials.
11 Easy Food Doodles
Time to get doodling! Here are a few different food doodle tutorials. They are very multi-use since you can definitely connect them with different themes and use them in monthly setups all year around.
If you want some other food doodle tutorials, be sure to leave your ideas in the comments, and I’ll be sure to create more.
How To Doodle A Piece Of Pie
I must say a lot of these food doodles are based on snacksand sweets. Somehow I find that it’s easier to build a theme around pie than a healthy unprocessed chicken dinner.
Hope you don’t mind, and let’s start with this simple doodle of a piece of pie.
How To Doodle Popcorn
I don’t know about you, bit I can’t possibly watch a movie without any snacks. And considering al l the options available, I think popcorn is definitely the lesser evil, especially if you make it at home.
This would definitely be a perfect doodle for a movie tracker or any entertainment based Bullet Journal theme.
How To Doodle A Doughnut
I try to eat less sugar, but it doens’t mean I can’t bring my love for sweets to my Bulelt Journal wih this doodle.
Dougnuts are a great thing to draw, because it’s a very simple doodle and yet you can play around with the toppings, therefore you can build a whole Bullet Journal theme and still make it very varied.
How To Doodle A Muffin
I’m more of a cupcake than a muffin kinda girl, but I love the shape of muffins better, so this is what we’ll be doodling here.
As you can see mine has a little heart on top so you can actually use it for something like Valentine’s day theme.
How To Doodle A Bucket Of Eggs
I’ll be honest, the original idea for tgis doodle was for Easter, but eggs are food so it still has its place on this list.
It’s a pretty cute doodle and you can decorate the eggs like I did, or keep it simple and maybe even make them smaller.
How To Doodle Caramel Apple
This is a delicious snack adn this doodle would look wonderful for any Fall Bullet Journal theme.
I feell like I mixed the colors wrong, though, the red of apple should be on the top. Well, thi is somehting you can do better on your doodle!
How To Doodle A Pie
Speaking of Fall, a pie is a traditional doodle for the season and it’s also a pretty easy one.
Use it together with the doodle of a pirce of pie and some apples and you have a very vcaried seasonal theme on your hands!
How To Doodle Ice Cream
Who doesn’t like ice cream! And you get to play around some much with diffreent shapes and colors.
It’s a perfect doodel for a Summer theme and it;’s also pretty easy to draw.
How To Doodle A Pretzel
This is really just a super fun doodle, and it is here simply because I really love pretzels.
Plus, unlike a lot of other baked goods, a pretzel actually has a more interesting shape, at least in my opinion.
How To Doodle Cheese
Every time I see chewese I’m thinking of that mouse from Chip and Dale cartoons and how his eyes would go crazy and moustaches stand out when he smelled cheese.
Either way, chese is a very fun and cartoony thing to doodle so I think it’s definitely something you should try to draw.
How To Doodle A Pineapple
Last but not least is a pineapple doodle. Becayse why not, fruits are food do! And pineapple is a wonderful doodle idea for many fun themes.
