How to Draw a Hammock
Draw a hammock 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 hammock.
Step 1: The hammock
Across the middle draw a shallow U from a left point to a right point, then a deeper U below.
Tip Leave room at each side for 2 tree trunks.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
In the middle of the cloth draw 2 big round eyes a finger apart. Colour a black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile from eye to eye. Add a little oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: 2 tree trunks
Near each side draw a tall trunk from above the hammock to near the bottom, spreading out at the foot.
Step 5: The ropes
Start at each point of the hammock. Draw 2 short lines out to the trunk, one higher and one lower.
Step 6: Leafy tops
On top of each trunk draw a big soft round cloud of leaves.
Step 7: Stripes
Near each end of the hammock draw a curved stripe from the top edge to the bottom edge.
Step 8: Grass
Draw a ground line from edge to edge. Add 3 grass blades on each side, under the hammock.
Step 9: Trunks and cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the trunks wood brown and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Green leaves
Colour the leafy tops green.
Step 11: Red hammock
Colour the hammock red around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your hammock is ready for a nap!
