How to Draw a Clock
Draw a 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: face and rim.
Step 1: Face and rim
Draw a big circle in the middle of your paper. Draw a second circle just inside it for the rim.
Tip Keep the gap between the circles the same all the way round.
Step 2: Four numbers
Write a small 12 at the top, 3 on the right, 6 at the bottom and 9 on the left.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Draw 2 big round eyes in the middle, almost touching. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a white speck.
Step 4: Open smile
Draw a short line under the eyes. From one end draw a U down to the other. Add a tongue.
Tip Leave room above the eyes for the clock hands.
Step 5: Two bell necks
At 10 o'clock on the rim draw a short neck leaning out, closed across the top. Same at 2 o'clock.
Tip The necks lean away from each other, like 2 ears.
Step 6: Hammer
Start on top of the rim with a tiny upside-down U. Draw a skinny post up to a ball.
Step 7: Two bells
On each neck draw a flat pill. Start at one end, draw a big hump over to the other.
Step 8: Pin and hands
Under the 12, draw a circle. From it draw a short arrow up to the 12, a long one up-right.
Step 9: Feet and ground
Under the rim draw 2 short feet leaning out. Draw a ground line under them.
Step 10: Ring ring!
Over each bell draw 3 short lines fanning out, like the bell is ringing.
Step 11: Cream face, pink cheeks
Colour the face cream, going round the eyes, cheeks and tongue. Colour the cheeks and tongue pink.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Yellow bells
Colour the 2 bells and the hammer ball yellow.
Step 13: Blue rim and feet
Go over your lines. Colour the rim, the bell necks and brims, and the 2 feet blue.
