Getting the layered outfit details right is the main challenge when you learn how to draw Plum Puddin’, and this tutorial works through each piece of her clothing systematically so nothing feels rushed. She sits in the Strawberry Shortcake roster alongside some of the most pattern-heavy characters in the franchise.
What the 17 Steps Actually Cover
This is a full-body colored drawing built across 17 steps. The early steps handle the head and hair structure, the middle section works through the jacket, tutu skirt, and flower detail, and the final steps nail down the striped stockings and boots before color fills everything in. The layered clothing means proportion work and pattern work both show up in the same tutorial, which keeps the pace a bit uneven. Expect more time on the midsection than on the face.
Plum Puddin’s Visual Breakdown
- Long purple ponytail, plum hair accessory
- Large purple eyes, rosy cheeks
- Purple jacket over cream tutu skirt
- Green and white striped stockings, purple boots
- Arms slightly outstretched, playful stance
If you want more practice with the Strawberry Shortcake art style before or after this one, Blueberry Muffin and Orange Blossom cover similarly detailed outfits, and the 2009 version of Strawberry Shortcake herself is a good reference point for the overall character proportions used across the series.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what to draw and when:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
