How to Draw a Picnic Table
Draw a picnic table 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: table top.
Step 1: Table top
In the middle of your paper draw a long flat box, about a thumb tall.
Step 2: Two slanted legs
Under the top draw 2 fat legs that lean apart like a letter A. Stop a hand above the bottom.
Tip Wide legs keep the table from tipping over.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the front of the top draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a black dot with 2 white shines.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Between the eyes, a bit lower, draw a small U smile. Add an oval cheek below and outside each eye.
Step 5: Cross bar
Halfway down the legs draw a long thin box across both legs, sticking far out on each side.
Step 6: Two bench seats
Start at each end of the long box. Draw a flat bench on top and stop back on the box.
Step 7: An apple
On the right side of the table top draw a round apple with a stem and a leaf.
Step 8: Ground and grass
Draw a ground line under the legs from side to side. Add 3 little grass tufts on it.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Wood table
Colour the top, legs, bar and seats wood brown, around the eyes and pink cheeks.
Step 11: Red apple, green grass
Colour the apple red and the leaf and grass green. Your picnic table is ready for lunch outside!
