How to Draw Cake

2 Add stacked layers and candles early — these are the features that make a cake recognizable.
3 Add two unmistakable clues that make the subject different from nearby prompts.
4 Keep it simple at first. Do not chase detail before the basic idea is readable.
5 Practice by drawing a cake in Artbitrator, where you can also watch how other players approached it.
