Draw a long and thin rectangle to create the straight part of the candy. Once you are done, just add a circle near the top of your rectangle. Make sure that the right side of your rectangle is aligned with the right side of your circle.

Step 2

Next, sketch another circle inside the first one. Try to keep the distance between the two circles similar to the width of your rectangle.

Step 4

Finally, just add some stripes to your illustration to complete your artwork. Don't forget to make sure that stripes created on the circular part are aligned with the rotation of the candy.
