How to Draw a Log with a Face
Draw a log with a face 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 cut end.
Step 1: The cut end
On the left, a little below the middle, draw a tall upright oval as tall as your thumb.
Tip The log lies down, so this oval is its round cut end.
Step 2: The long log
From the top and bottom of the oval, draw 2 long lines across the paper. Round off the far end.
Step 3: A friendly face
On the right of the log, draw 2 big oval eyes with dots, 2 eyebrows above and a smile below.
Step 4: Tree rings
Inside the cut end, draw 2 smaller ovals, one inside the other, for the tree rings.
Step 5: Bark lines
Draw 2 curved bark lines from just under the top edge to just above the bottom, one near each end.
Step 6: The ground
Draw a ground line right across the paper, under the log. Add a grass tuft at each end.
Step 7: Two mushrooms
On the log, left of middle, draw 2 mushrooms like little umbrellas: a short stem and a round cap.
Tip Make one mushroom bigger than the other.
Step 8: A ladybug
Near the far end, draw a ladybug on the log: a tiny head, a line down its back, 2 spots.
Step 9: Tan end, pink cheeks
Colour the cut end tan. Add a pink circle on each cheek beside the smile.
Step 10: Wood-brown log
Colour the log wood brown, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Red caps, black head
Colour the mushroom caps and the ladybug red, and its head black. Go over your lines.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a log with a face, drawn by you.
