How to Draw a Laundry Hamper
Draw a laundry hamper in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 hamper.
Step 1: The hamper
In the middle of your paper draw a tall box for the hamper, a little wider at the bottom.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the front of the hamper draw 2 big egg eyes close together. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile, eye to eye, and a small flat cheek out beside each eye.
Step 4: The rim
Across the top draw a flat band a little wider than the hamper, for the rim.
Step 5: The lid
From behind the rim's right end draw the open lid: a long thin slab leaning up to the left.
Step 6: The socks
Draw 3 socks spilling out: one hanging down the front left, and 2 poking up out of the top.
Tip Give each sock a round heel bump and a round toe.
Step 7: Sock stripes
Near the toe of each sock draw a short curved line across for a stripe.
Step 8: The weave
Under the rim draw 2 wavy lines from side to side, and one more near the bottom, for the weave.
Step 9: Ground line
Start near the left edge. Draw a straight ground line under the hamper, stopping near the right edge.
Step 10: Sparkles
Draw a few little 4-point sparkles around it to make it shine.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, yellow sparkles
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow.
Step 12: Sand hamper
Colour the hamper, rim and lid sand, around the cheeks and socks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Red and blue socks
Colour the hanging sock and the small sock red and the tall sock blue.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a laundry hamper, drawn by you.
