How to Draw a Pool Noodle
Draw a pool noodle 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 noodle.
Step 1: The noodle
Across the middle of your paper draw a long fat tube bent in a low, wide arch.
Tip Keep it low and wide, much wider than it is tall.
Step 2: The round ends
On each end draw a tall oval for the round end. Add a small oval inside each for the hole.
Tip Noodles are hollow, so each end is a ring.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the arch draw 2 big round eyes with a black dot and a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide smile, and a small oval cheek out to each side.
Step 5: Water line
Start at the left side. Draw a long wavy water line across to the right side, behind the noodle ends.
Step 6: Lower wave
Under it draw a second wavy line, from the left side across to the right side.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw a 4-point sparkle near each top corner of your paper.
Step 8: Pink cheeks, yellow sparkles
Colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Orange noodle
Colour the noodle and its round ends orange, around the eyes, cheeks and holes. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Blue water, grey holes
Colour the water blue to the bottom, around the ends, and the holes dark grey. Your noodle is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pool noodle, drawn by you.
