Tips to Draw Anime Bento Box Food

It would be surprising to see any anime lover who is not absolutely mesmerized or blown away by anime food. These scenes would have even left you fantasizing about going to Japan just to eat it.

One of the most popular anime food trends is the lunch box or bento box foods. Drawing a bento box lunch is not as hard as you might think. Let’s see how it’s done.

First, draw a rectangular box from any perspective. Add compartments inside it to make it look like a bento box. Make sure that the lines are light enough to be erased off later as we add the foods in it.

Add the outlines of the food. Try to understand the basic shapes of Japanese food like onigiri, sushi, and tamagoyaki among others. They’re mostly combinations of polygons and circles. Don’t forget to add fresh fruits and veggies to your lunch box drawing.

Now add details to the food. Draw leaves of fresh fruits and leafy veggies like kale and celery, seeds of tomatoes and strawberries. Draw some bits of rice popping out of the rice cakes. Once you finish the linework you can color it accordingly. Viola! Your bento box food is ready.
