How to Draw an Air Horn
Draw an air horn in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the can.
Step 1: The can
In the lower half of your paper draw a tall box for the can, with soft corners.
Step 2: The round top
Start on top of the can near the left, draw a low round hill, and stop near the right.
Step 3: The neck
Start on the round top. Draw 2 short lines straight up and stop, the right one a little shorter.
Step 4: The horn
Start at the top right. Draw a wide cone on its side, on the neck. Stop at the bottom right.
Tip A horn gets wider toward the front.
Step 5: The big end
At the big right end draw a tall oval from the top corner to the bottom corner, for the opening.
Step 6: The back end
Start at the top of the small end. Draw a little cap bulging out left; stop at its bottom.
Step 7: The label
Draw 2 straight lines across the can, from side to side, for a label.
Step 8: Sound lines
In front of the big end draw 3 short lines fanning out, for the loud honk.
Step 9: The floor
Draw a straight floor line under the can, from left to right.
Step 10: Yellow label
Go over your lines, then colour the label yellow.
Step 11: Grey top
Colour the round top and the neck grey.
Step 12: Red horn
Colour the horn and its back end red. Leave the opening white for now.
Step 13: Blue can
Colour the can blue above and below the label. Colour the opening dark grey. Honk!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an air horn, drawn by you.
