How to Draw a Grater
Draw a grater 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: the front.
Step 1: The front
In the middle of your paper draw a tall box, a little wider at the bottom than the top.
Step 2: The side
From the top right corner draw a short line out, then a long line down to the bottom right corner.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Near the top draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile, with a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The top
Start at the top left corner and draw a flat lid across, ending on the top of the side.
Step 6: The handle
Start on the lid near the left. Draw a thick upside-down U handle over to the right side.
Step 7: Grating holes
Below the face draw rows of little flat ovals for holes, 4 then 3, like a brick wall.
Step 8: More holes
Add 2 more rows of little ovals under them, the same way.
Step 9: Table and shadow
Draw a flat oval shadow round the grater's bottom. From each end, draw a table line well out.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 11: Grey front, slate holes
Colour the front and shadow grey around the face and holes, then the holes slate. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Slate side and handle
Colour the side, the lid and the handle slate grey.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a grater, drawn by you.
