How to Draw a Pot of Gold
Draw a pot of gold in 13 easy steps, about 10 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: fat round pot.
Step 1: Fat round pot
Draw a fat round pot on the right. Its top edge dips down, for the front of the rim.
Tip The rim is a little narrower than the belly.
Step 2: Gold and rim
Draw a bumpy pile of gold on the pot. From each end of the rim, curve up to the gold.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the belly of the pot, draw 2 big egg eyes, one eye apart. Add black dots with shines.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek at each end.
Step 5: Two little feet
Under the pot, draw 2 stubby feet, one on each side, like little boxes.
Step 6: The ground
Start out on the left. Draw one long straight ground line under the feet, and stop out on the right.
Step 7: Coins
Draw 2 round coins on the pile of gold, and 3 more on the ground by the feet.
Step 8: The rainbow
Start on the ground far left. Draw a huge arch over to the pot. Add 3 smaller arches inside.
Tip The rainbow lands in the pot, so the bands disappear behind it.
Step 9: Shine
On the left side of the belly, draw one short curve that follows the pot round, for the shine.
Step 10: Yellow gold
Colour the pile of gold, every coin and the middle band of the rainbow yellow.
Step 11: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 12: Red and sky bands
Colour the top band of the rainbow red and the bottom band sky blue.
Step 13: Slate pot
Go over your lines. Colour the pot, rim and feet slate grey, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pot of gold, drawn by you.
