How to Draw a Dish Rack
Draw a dish rack 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 drip tray.
Step 1: The drip tray
Near the bottom of your paper draw a long low box on the counter for the drip tray.
Step 2: The plates
Above the tray draw 3 big round plates in a row, each a little behind the last, like fanned cards.
Step 3: The face
On the front plate draw 2 big egg eyes with black dots, a wide U smile and 2 small cheeks.
Step 4: The rack rim
Across the bottom of the plates draw a long thin bar on the tray for the rim of the rack.
Step 5: Two cups
On the rim's left draw 2 upside-down cups. Start each C handle high on the cup's left side, stop low.
Step 6: Caddy and spoons
On the right of the rim draw a tall box for the caddy, with a spoon and spatula sticking up.
Step 7: Wire slats
Draw 3 thin upright wires with round tops, standing on the rim in front of the plates' right edges.
Step 8: Counter line
Start a little in from the left edge. Draw a counter line under the tray, stopping near the right edge.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 3 four-point sparkles in the empty space above the rack to make it shine.
Step 10: Yellow caddy, pink cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the caddy and the sparkles yellow and the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Sky plates, grey tray
Colour the plates sky blue around the eyes and cheeks. Colour the tray and the spoons light grey.
Step 12: Red cups, dark rack
Colour the cups red, then colour the rim and the wires dark grey.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dish rack, drawn by you.
