How to Draw a Bean Bag Chair
Draw a bean bag chair in 10 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 squishy bag.
Step 1: The squishy bag
Draw a big soft lump, wide at the bottom, with a tall round back on the left.
Tip Wobble the line: a bean bag is never perfectly round.
Step 2: The seat dip
Start on the right slope of the back. Draw a big U down and round, stopping at the right edge.
Tip This dip is where you sit, so make it big.
Step 3: 2 big eyes
Below the seat draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek at each end.
Step 5: Soft wrinkles
Start on the bottom edge of the dip. Draw 2 short soft curves up into the seat.
Step 6: 2 seams
Start at the top left and at the seat's right end. Draw a seam down each side to the bottom.
Step 7: The label
Low on the left, between the edge and the seam, draw a small square label.
Step 8: The floor
Start well left of the bag. Draw a straight floor line under it, stopping well to the right.
Step 9: Pink and cream
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink and the label cream.
Step 10: Purple bag
Colour the bag purple around the cheeks and label, leaving the eyes white. Now flop into it!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bean bag chair, drawn by you.
