How to Draw a Plug
Draw a plug 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: the plug body.
Step 1: The plug body
In the middle of your paper draw a chubby rounded square, a hand-width across, with big soft corners.
Step 2: Two prongs
Draw 2 short flat prongs on top. Each starts on the edge, goes up and across, and stops on it.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Draw 2 big egg eyes in the middle of the body. Add a black dot and a shine in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The neck line
Under the prongs draw a gently curved line across, from the left edge to the right edge.
Step 6: The cord
From the bottom left corner draw a thick cord going left, lying flat and level with the bottom.
Step 7: Zaps
Beside each prong draw a little lightning bolt, a zigzag down to a point and back up.
Step 8: Floor and shadow
Draw a floor line under the plug, side to side. Add a thin flat oval shadow where it sits.
Step 9: Pink cheeks, yellow zaps
Go over your lines. Colour the cheeks pink and the zaps yellow.
Step 10: Teal plug
Colour the body teal, going around the eyes and the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Grey prongs, dark cord
Colour the prongs and the shadow grey, and the cord dark grey. Your plug is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a plug, drawn by you.
