How to Draw a Lunchbox
Draw a lunchbox in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 box.
Step 1: The box
In the middle, draw a big wide box with soft corners, wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Lid line
Draw a line straight across the box, a little above the middle, where the lid opens.
Step 3: The handle
Start on the top edge. Draw a handle arch up and stop back on the top. Add an arch inside.
Step 4: The latch
On the lid line, in the middle, draw a small box across the line with a short line through it.
Step 5: Hinges
On the lid line, draw a tiny box near the left edge and one near the right edge.
Step 6: Apple sticker
Low on the left of the box, draw a round apple sticker with a tiny stem and leaf.
Step 7: Star sticker
Low on the right, draw a star sticker with 5 points.
Step 8: Ground line
Start left of the box and draw a long flat ground line under it, stopping past the right side.
Step 9: Latch and star
Colour the latch, the 2 hinges and the star sticker yellow.
Step 10: Sky blue lid
Colour the lid and the handle sky blue, around the latch and hinges.
Step 11: Green apple
Colour the apple sticker and its leaf green.
Step 12: Red lunchbox
Go over your lines. Colour the bottom red, around the apple, star, latch and hinges. Your lunchbox is ready!
