How to Draw a Grocery Bag
Draw a grocery bag 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 bag.
Step 1: The bag
In the middle draw a tall box for the bag, taller than it is wide.
Step 2: The fold
Just below the top draw a straight line across the bag, edge to edge, for the folded-over top.
Step 3: 2 big eyes
Below the fold draw 2 big egg eyes, one eye apart. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek out beside each end of it.
Step 5: Long loaf
On the right draw a long loaf poking out of the bag, leaning right, like a stick with round ends.
Tip Start the loaf on the bag's top line; the bag hides its bottom.
Step 6: Leafy greens
On the left draw 3 long pointed leaves fanning up out of the bag, one straight up, one each side.
Step 7: An orange
Between the greens and loaf draw a round orange peeking out, starting and stopping on the bag's top line.
Step 8: Loaf lines and veins
On the loaf draw 3 short slanted dashes for crust cuts, and 1 line up the middle of each leaf.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a ground line from near the left edge to near the right edge, just touching the bag's bottom.
Step 10: Brown paper bag
Go over your lines, then colour the bag sandy brown, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Tan loaf, green leaves
Colour the loaf tan and the leaves green.
Step 12: Orange and pink cheeks
Colour the orange orange and the cheeks pink, and your grocery bag is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a grocery bag, drawn by you.
