How to Draw a Beaker
Draw a beaker in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 glass.
Step 1: The glass
In the middle, draw a tall glass: a flat top with a lip each end, sides and a flat bottom.
Tip Sharp corners at the top lip, soft round corners at the bottom.
Step 2: The liquid
Halfway down the glass, start on the left side. Draw a wavy line across and stop on the right side.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the liquid, draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot and a white shine in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Measuring marks
On the right side above the liquid, draw 3 short lines from the edge inward, evenly spaced.
Step 6: Bubbles in the potion
Low in the liquid, under the face, draw 3 small round bubbles.
Step 7: Bubbles over the top
Above the glass, draw 3 more bubbles popping out over the rim.
Step 8: Glass shine
On the left of the empty part of the glass, draw 1 long and 1 short line straight down.
Step 9: Shadow and table
Draw a thin flat oval shadow around the bottom of the glass. Add a table line out from each end.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 11: Grey shadow, sky bubbles
Colour the shadow grey and the top bubbles sky blue. Leave the empty glass white so it looks clear.
Step 12: Green potion
Go over your lines. Colour the liquid green around the face, leaving the bubbles white. Your beaker is done!
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a beaker, drawn by you.
