How to Draw a Mallet
Draw a mallet in 10 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 head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper draw a long rounded box lying on its side for the big wooden head.
Tip A mallet has a big block head instead of a metal one.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the head draw 2 big egg eyes an eye apart. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile, and a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The end faces
Near each end of the head draw a straight line from the top edge down to the bottom edge.
Step 5: The handle
From the middle of the head's bottom, draw 2 lines down to a round knob with a flat bottom.
Step 6: Wood grain
On each end face, outside the end lines, draw 2 gentle curves from top to bottom for wood grain.
Step 7: Two sparkles
Draw a small sparkle in the air on each side of the handle, well away from the mallet.
Step 8: Ground line
Draw a straight ground line under the knob, starting below the left sparkle and stopping below the right one.
Step 9: Tan handle, pink cheeks
Colour the handle tan and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Wood head
Go over your lines. Colour the head wood brown around the face, leaving the eyes white. Your mallet is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a mallet, drawn by you.
