How to Draw an Alarm Clock
Draw an alarm clock 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 round case.
Step 1: The round case
In the middle of your paper draw one big round circle as wide as your hand.
Step 2: Two bells
Start top left on the case. Draw a round hump and stop on the case. Same right. Add a hammer.
Tip Like 2 round ears and a tiny hammer.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Inside the case, above the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes a thumb apart. Colour a black dot in each.
Step 4: Dial and shine
Inside the case draw a smaller circle a finger from the edge, and a shine curve at its top left.
Step 5: Smile and cheeks
Under the middle of the dial draw a small U smile, and a small flat cheek beside each end.
Step 6: Hour marks
At the top of the dial draw 2 dashes for the 12. Add 1 at the bottom, left and right.
Step 7: The hands
Draw a middle dot, then a long hand up to the 12 and a short hand down to the left.
Step 8: Two legs
Draw 2 legs slanting out under the case: start on the case, go down, stop back on it. Add feet.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a ground line under the feet, from well left of the clock to well right of it.
Step 10: Ring ring
Beside each bell draw 2 short curved lines following the bell round, so the clock is ringing.
Step 11: Yellow and pink
Colour the 2 bells, the hammer ball and the hands yellow. Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 12: Sky dial
Colour the dial sky blue around the eyes, cheeks and hands. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Red case
Go over your lines, then colour the case ring, the legs and the feet red. Your clock is ringing!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an alarm clock, drawn by you.
