How to Draw a Kitchen Scale
Draw a kitchen scale in 14 easy steps, about 11 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 body.
Step 1: The body
A little below the middle of your paper draw a box with soft corners, a bit wider than tall.
Step 2: The dial
On the front of the body draw a big round dial, nearly as tall as the body.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Just below the middle of the dial draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile. Add a tiny flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 5: Needle and ticks
Draw short dashes round the top of the dial. Under them draw a dot with a needle pointing up.
Step 6: The neck
On the middle of the body's top draw a small flat box for the neck.
Step 7: The bowl
Above the neck draw a wide flat oval. Add a U under it, from one end down to the other.
Step 8: Heap of flour
Start on the rim, in from the left end. Draw a soft heap, stopping in from the right end.
Step 9: Little feet
Under the body draw 2 small flat feet, one near each end.
Step 10: Ground line
Start a little in from the left edge. Draw a ground line under it, stopping near the right edge.
Step 11: Sparkles
Draw a few little four-point sparkles around it to make it shine.
Step 12: Pink cheeks, yellow sparkles
Colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow.
Step 13: White flour, grey feet
Colour the flour white and the feet grey.
Step 14: Teal scale
Go over your lines, then colour the body, neck and bowl teal. Leave the dial white. Keep the eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a kitchen scale, drawn by you.
