How to Draw a Dutch Oven
Draw a dutch oven 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: domed lid.
Step 1: Domed lid
Draw a wide low hill above the middle. Close it underneath with a wide smile line.
Tip The hill is much wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Heavy pot
From each end of the lid draw a line down. Curve in and join them with a wide round bottom.
Tip Keep the pot short and wide.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the pot draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a black dot and a shine in each.
Step 4: Lid edge
Start on the left edge of the lid. Draw a second smile just above the first, to the right edge.
Step 5: Round knob
On top of the lid draw a short neck, then a round flat knob sitting on it.
Step 6: Loop handles
On each side of the pot draw a fat loop sticking out. Start and stop on the pot.
Step 7: Handle holes
Inside each loop draw a smaller loop for the hole. Start and stop on the pot.
Step 8: Lid ring
Start on the left side of the hill, halfway up. Draw a smile across to the right side.
Step 9: Smile and cheeks
Between the eyes, a little lower, draw a U smile. Add a small oval cheek near each end.
Step 10: Table and shadow
Under the pot draw a flat oval shadow. Draw a table line out from each side of it.
Step 11: Pink and grey
Colour the cheeks pink. Colour the knob and the shadow under the pot grey.
Step 12: Red enamel
Go over your lines. Colour the lid, the pot and both handles red, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a dutch oven, drawn by you.
