How to Draw Mascara
Draw mascara 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 tube.
Step 1: The tube
Left of the middle draw a tall box standing up, twice as tall as wide, with soft bottom corners.
Tip Leave room on the right for the wand.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Draw 2 big egg eyes on the tube. Add a black dot and a shine in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile. Add a small flat cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The top
On top of the tube draw a short flat box exactly as wide as the tube, with rounded top corners.
Step 5: The wand
Draw a small tilted box on the right for the handle, then a thin stick leaning up toward the tube.
Step 6: The brush head
On the top end of the stick draw a fat pill shape, about twice as wide as the stick.
Step 7: Bristles
Draw short little lines sticking out all round the brush head. The top ones on the left touch the tube.
Step 8: Shine
Draw 1 long thin rounded strip up the left side of the tube, under the face, for a shine.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 4 little sparkles in the air around the mascara.
Step 10: The table
Draw a long table line under the tube and the wand, from the left side to the right.
Step 11: Pink wand and cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the wand stick and the cheeks pink.
Step 12: Purple tube
Colour the tube purple around the pink cheeks, leaving the eyes and the shine white.
Step 13: Black top, handle, brush
Colour the top, the wand handle and the brush head black. Your mascara is ready!
