How to Draw a Pot
Draw a pot 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 lid.
Step 1: The lid
Above the middle draw 1 big wide oval. Add a knob on top, starting and stopping on the oval.
Tip The knob sits on the lid like a button.
Step 2: The pot body
From each end of the oval draw a line down, 2 fingers long. Join the bottoms with a wide smile.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Draw 2 big egg eyes in the middle of the pot. Add a black dot and a shine in each.
Step 4: Lid rim
Start on the left side a finger under the oval. Draw a smile across to the right side.
Step 5: Two handles
On each side, under the rim, draw a small fat C sticking out, starting and stopping on the pot.
Step 6: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat cheek beside each end.
Step 7: Steam
Start just above the lid, each side of the knob. Wiggle a steam line up, stopping above the knob.
Step 8: Stove and shadow
Under the pot draw a flat oval shadow, then a stove line out from each side of it.
Step 9: Pink and grey
Colour the cheeks pink. Colour the shadow, the 2 handles and the knob's stem grey.
Step 10: Teal pot
Go over your lines. Colour the pot teal around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Red lid and knob
Colour the lid and its knob red. Your cooking pot is bubbling away!
