How to Draw a Glass of Water
Draw a glass of water 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 glass.
Step 1: The glass
Start on the left, above the middle. Go down, across and up the right side. Stop level with the start.
Step 2: The rim
Join the top ends with a flat oval for the rim, going all the way round.
Step 3: The water
A thumb below the rim draw a second flat oval inside the glass, from side to side.
Step 4: Ice cubes
On the water draw 2 small squares with soft corners, one a little higher than the other.
Step 5: A straw
Start on the water, at the right. Draw a straw leaning up past the rim and stop above the glass.
Step 6: Straw stripes
Draw 2 short lines across the straw below the bend and 2 above it.
Step 7: Bubbles
Inside the water draw 3 little round bubbles, none touching the glass.
Step 8: A shine
Draw a long thin oval down the left side of the glass, a finger inside the edge.
Step 9: A shadow
Draw a wide flat oval round the bottom of the glass for its shadow on the table.
Step 10: Blue water
Go over your lines, then colour the water sky blue, leaving the ice cubes, straw, bubbles and shine white.
Step 11: Red stripes, grey shadow
Colour the straw red between its stripes, and the shadow grey around the glass. Your glass of water is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a glass of water, drawn by you.
