How to Draw a Monocle
Draw a monocle 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 big ring.
Step 1: The big ring
A little left of the middle of your paper draw a big circle, as big as your fist.
Step 2: The glass
Inside it draw a second circle a finger in, all the way round, so the rim is thick.
Step 3: A happy face
In the glass draw 2 big round eyes, a wide U smile, and a small cheek at each end.
Step 4: The little eyelet
On the lower right of the rim draw a tiny ring, like a bead stuck to the edge.
Step 5: The chain
Start under the eyelet. Draw a long lazy S curve down to the right and stop near the bottom.
Step 6: The clip
At the end of the chain draw a small slanted bar, like a tiny flat box, for the clip.
Step 7: Shines
Inside the glass at the top left, draw a thin curved strip along the rim, then a tiny oval.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 sparkle stars around the monocle: 1 top right, 1 far right and 1 bottom left.
Step 9: Gold rim, pink cheeks
Colour the rim, the eyelet and the clip gold yellow, and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Sky glass, yellow stars
Colour the stars yellow and the glass sky blue around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes and shines white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a monocle, drawn by you.
