How to Draw a Garlic Press
Draw a garlic press 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 basket.
Step 1: The basket
On the left, draw a big cup with rounded corners, a little wider at the top: the basket.
Tip A garlic press squeezes a garlic clove out through little holes.
Step 2: Two big eyes
High on the basket draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile. Add a flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 4: The hinge
On the top left corner of the basket draw a round hinge pin.
Step 5: The top handle
From the pin draw a long handle along the top of the basket, then up to the top right.
Step 6: The bottom handle
Low on the basket's right side draw a long handle down to the right, ending level with the basket's bottom.
Step 7: The holes
Along the bottom of the basket draw a row of 4 small round holes, below the smile.
Step 8: The table
Draw a long table line from left to right, under the basket and the handle end.
Step 9: Garlic pile
Under the holes draw a small lumpy pile of squeezed garlic, sitting on the table.
Step 10: Cream garlic, pink cheeks
Colour the garlic cream and the cheeks pink.
Step 11: Grey press
Go over your lines. Colour the press grey around the cheeks and garlic. Leave the eyes and holes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a garlic press, drawn by you.
