How to Draw a Bed

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a bed 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: headboard.

Step 1: Headboard
On the left, draw 2 tall thin posts with a small ball on top. Join them with a curved board.
Tip Make it tall: its top is near the top of the paper.
Step 2: Footboard
Far over on the right, draw the same shape only half as tall, with a small ball on each post.
Step 3: Mattress and rail
A hand above the floor, draw a thick mattress from headboard to footboard. Add a slim rail under it.
Step 4: Puffy pillow
On the mattress by the headboard, draw a puffy pillow with a bumpy top and a round end.
Step 5: Teddy's head
On the pillow, draw a big round head with 2 round ears on top. Add 2 eyes with black dots.
Tip The teddy is the star: big head, big round ears.
Step 6: The blanket
Start under the chin. Draw the blanket over to the footboard, down a wavy hem, and back to the start.
Tip Add a fold line near the top, from headboard to footboard. Rub out the mattress lines under the blanket.
Step 7: Teddy's face
Under the eyes, draw an oval nose patch. Add a black nose and a little smile inside it.
Step 8: Paws on the blanket
Under each cheek, draw a round paw up from the blanket and back down. Give each 2 toe lines.
Step 9: Blanket dots
Draw 4 round dots spread over the blanket, below the fold line.
Step 10: The floor
Draw a long floor line under the bed, from past the headboard to past the footboard.
Step 11: Tan teddy, cream sheets
Colour the pillow, nose patch and blanket top cream. Colour the teddy tan around the patch. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Wood frame, yellow knobs
Colour the 4 little knobs yellow. Colour the posts and both boards wood brown.
Step 13: Red dots, blue blanket
Colour the dots red. Colour the blanket blue around the dots.
