How to Draw the Liberty Bell
Draw the Liberty Bell 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 bell.
Step 1: The bell
Above the middle, start on the left. Draw a tall bell with a round top, stopping level with the start.
Tip The bell is wider at the bottom than the top, like a skirt.
Step 2: The lip
Under the bell, draw a thick band with round ends, just a little wider than the bell.
Step 3: A happy face
In the middle of the bell, draw 2 big round eyes with dots. Add a wide U smile and cheeks.
Step 4: The clapper
Start under the middle of the lip. Draw a short stem of 2 lines down, ending in a round ball.
Step 5: The top knob
Draw a little knob on top: start on the bell, go up and over, and back down to it.
Step 6: Wooden beam
Above the knob, draw a flat box. Draw 2 short posts down to the bell, hugging the knob.
Step 7: The famous crack
Low on the bell, right of the smile, draw a short zigzag crack climbing up from the lip.
Step 8: Two sparkles
Draw 2 sparkle stars in the air, one on each side of the top of the bell.
Step 9: Cheeks and sparkles
Colour the cheeks peach and the 2 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Bronze bell
Colour the bell, knob and lip orange-brown like old bronze, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Brown beam and clapper
Go over your lines, then colour the beam, posts and clapper brown. Your Liberty Bell is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: the Liberty Bell, drawn by you.
