Drawing a Hamburger

This tutorial won't necessarily satisfy your hunger but it is likely to satisfy your Flash hunger:) We're going to draw a very tasty-looking hamburger.

Note: Understanding vector drawing is absolutely necessary to complete the tutorial.

 1. First of all, let's draw the outline of the bun. To do that, select the Line Tool (black as the Stroke color will be fine) and try to shape a flat bun, like the one below.

2. Use the Paint Bucket to fill the shape. I chose #E9A948 for the dark area and #F2DB8B for the lighter side.  You can also see a little highlight on the right of the bun.

3. At this point, let's add some sesame to make the bun more realistic. It's a good idea to keep them a little bigger than normal so they are easier to notice, and remember not to overdo in quantity. How to draw them? Well, slightly distorted ovals (drawn with the Oval Tool) are perfect for us.

4. OK, how about some lettuce? First off, let's draw a rectangle colored #95C91E.

5. Now, we'll shape it so that it looks like lettuce. Them, let's add some dark patches, like I did, and also some glares on the right. Afterwards, you may add a stroke around the shape to match the style of the bun.

6. Alright, so we've got lettuce and bun, but come on - I'm not a vegetarian, am I? Some meat would come in handy. For that reason, I picked a dark brown (#653203) and drew a nice  piece of meat.

7. At this point I will make the meat lighter and keep the dark brown for the wave shape.

8. It wasn't supposed to be a cheeseburger but we'll draw some golden cheese too.

 9. OK, we're only three steps and two slices of tomato away from finishing. If you looks closely at any of the two slices, you'll notice that it is made up of three parts: light top, darker side, very light shapes  on the top of all.

... it's starting to look very appetizing. I will have to visit McDonald's now:(

10. I decided to give our hamburger a go without the line below. It's up to you if you do the same.

11.  Finally, the last thing to do is drawing a bun below. Colors can be taken from the top bun.

Thanks for reading. I hope you had fun ;)
