How to Draw a Plunger
Draw a plunger 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: rubber cup.
Step 1: Rubber cup
Low on your paper, draw a bell: short flat top, wide flat bottom, sides flaring out like a skirt.
Step 2: The lip
Start at the bell's bottom left corner. Draw a thin flat rim underneath and stop at the right corner.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Draw 2 big egg eyes on the bell, just below the middle. Put a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile. Add a small oval cheek beside each end of the smile.
Step 5: The handle
From the top of the bell, draw a tall thin stick straight up: 2 lines close together.
Tip Keep the 2 lines the same distance apart all the way up.
Step 6: The knob
On top of the stick draw a small flat oval, a bit wider than the stick.
Step 7: Sparkles
Add 3 little 4-point sparkles in the air around the handle.
Step 8: The ground
Start near the left edge. Draw a ground line along the lip's bottom and stop near the right edge.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Wooden handle
Colour the stick and the knob wood brown.
Step 11: Red rubber
Colour the bell and lip red, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your plunger is ready for action!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a plunger, drawn by you.
