How to Draw a Gummy Worm
Draw a gummy worm in 10 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: big round plate.
Step 1: Big round plate
In the middle of your paper, draw a big squashed circle for the plate, most of the way across.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second oval a finger inside the first one, all the way round, for the rim.
Step 3: The tail end
At the left, draw a fat tube from a round tail up and over. End it with a line across.
Tip Make the tube as fat as your thumb.
Step 4: The middle
From that line, carry the tube down and round the bottom. End it with a line across.
Step 5: The head end
From that line, draw the tube going up on the right. Round off the top for the head.
Step 6: A friendly face
Near the head end, draw 2 round eyes, each with a black dot and shine. Add a smile under them.
Step 7: Sugar sparkles
On the plate, draw 3 tiny 4-point sparkles of sugar around the worm.
Step 8: The table
Draw a table line under the plate, just touching its bottom, from well left to well right.
Step 9: Yellow and sky blue
Colour the middle of the worm yellow, then the plate sky blue around the worm and sparkles.
Step 10: Green and red
Colour the head green and the tail red. Leave the eyes white. Your gummy worm is done!
