How to Draw a Jug
Draw a jug 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 rim and spout.
Step 1: The rim and spout
Above the middle draw a wide flat oval for the top. Pull its left end up into a pointed spout.
Step 2: The jug
Start under the spout. Curve in to a neck, round a fat belly and up to the oval's right end.
Tip Keep it narrow under the rim and fat low down, like a pear.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the belly, a little below the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek at each end.
Step 5: The handle
On the right draw a big fat C handle, looping out from under the rim and back in lower down.
Step 6: Water inside
Inside the rim draw a gentle smile curve for the water, starting and ending on the back of the rim.
Step 7: Drops
Draw 2 little water drops falling from the spout.
Step 8: Shadow, ground, sparkles
Draw a thin oval shadow under the jug, a ground line out from each side, and a sparkle each side.
Step 9: Sky water and drops
Go over your lines, then colour the water inside the rim, the spout and the drops sky blue.
Step 10: Pink cheeks, grey shadow
Colour the cheeks pink and the shadow under the jug grey.
Step 11: Blue jug
Colour the jug and the handle blue, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your jug is full!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a jug, drawn by you.
