How to Draw a Doorknob
Draw a doorknob in 11 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 knob.
Step 1: The knob
In the middle draw a big round circle, as big as your fist, for the knob.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the knob draw 2 big egg eyes side by side. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The plate
Behind the knob draw a tall oval plate, peeking out all round and hanging low under the knob.
Step 5: The keyhole
On the plate under the knob draw a keyhole: a small circle on top of a little triangle.
Step 6: Two screws
On the plate draw a tiny screw circle above the knob and another one under the keyhole.
Step 7: The door
Round the plate draw a big tall box for the door, and a thin strip down its left side.
Step 8: The floor
Draw a long floor line along the bottom of the door, from one side of the paper to the other.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Gold knob, grey plate
Colour the knob yellow around the cheeks, then the plate grey around the knob and keyhole. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Wood door, tan edge
Colour the edge tan, the door brown around the plate, and the keyhole black. Your doorknob is ready to turn!
