How to Draw a Fire Extinguisher
Draw a fire extinguisher 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: the tank.
Step 1: The tank
Draw a tall tank in the middle: straight sides, a flat bottom and round shoulders with a flat top.
Tip Make both shoulders match.
Step 2: The valve
On the flat top draw a small box, a little wider than the top.
Step 3: Two big eyes
High on the tank draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot with a white shine.
Tip Leave room under the face for the label.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The handle
From the right side of the box draw a flat bar sticking out, with a round end.
Step 6: The lever
On top of the box draw a longer bar. Slant it up to the right, above the handle.
Tip The lever reaches a little further than the handle.
Step 7: The hose
Start on the left side of the box. Draw a thick hose curving out and down beside the tank.
Tip Keep the 2 hose lines the same distance apart all the way.
Step 8: The nozzle
On the end of the hose draw a nozzle like a bell, wider at the bottom.
Step 9: Gauge and label
Draw a small circle on the box for the gauge. Under the face draw 2 lines across the tank.
Step 10: The floor
Draw a floor line under the tank, from near the left edge to near the right.
Step 11: Pink and yellow
Colour the cheeks pink. Colour the gauge and the label yellow.
Step 12: Red tank
Colour the tank red, above and below the label. Go around the cheeks and leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Grey top, black hose
Colour the box, the handle and the lever grey. Colour the hose and nozzle black. Your fire extinguisher is ready!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a fire extinguisher, drawn by you.
