How to Draw Arm Wrestling
Draw arm wrestling in 11 easy steps, about 8 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 gripping hand.
Step 1: The gripping hand
Near the top, in the middle, draw the back of one hand: a soft rounded block leaning a little.
Tip The 2 arms will come down from this hand to the table.
Step 2: Curled fingers
Start at the hand's right corner. Draw a fat U finger, ending on the hand. Add 3 more above it.
Step 3: The other thumb
Start on the first finger's edge. Draw a fat thumb across the hand, round the tip, stop on the hand's edge.
Step 4: The near arm
From the bottom of the hand draw a thick forearm going down left, ending in a rounded elbow.
Step 5: The far arm
From behind the hand draw the other forearm going down right, ending in a rounded elbow.
Step 6: The table
Under both elbows draw a long flat table top. Add a thick leg near each end.
Step 7: Upper arms and sleeves
From each elbow draw a short upper arm out to the side, going into a soft sleeve with a hem.
Step 8: Nail and knuckles
Draw a small curved nail near the thumb's tip, and a curve on the top 3 fingers.
Step 9: Peach skin
Colour the hand, the fingers, the thumb and both arms peach.
Step 10: Blue and red sleeves
Colour the left sleeve blue and the right sleeve red.
Step 11: Wooden table
Colour the table wood brown. Go over your lines. Who will win?
