How to Draw a Rake
Draw a rake 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 pole.
Step 1: The pole
Start above the middle. Draw a thin pole up nearly to the top and back down, stopping where you started.
Step 2: Collar and fan
Under the pole draw a small collar. From its corners draw 2 long slanting tines with bent tips.
Step 3: The cross bar
Below the collar draw a thin bowed band across, from the left tine to the right tine.
Step 4: The tines
From the collar draw 5 more tines with bent tips between them, passing behind the bar.
Step 5: The grip
Near the top of the pole draw 2 short lines straight across it, a thumb apart.
Step 6: Ground and leaf pile
Draw a ground line under the tips. On the right, pile up 3 leaves, each with a middle line.
Step 7: Falling leaves
Draw 3 falling leaves: 2 on the right, 1 on the left. Give each a stem and a middle line.
Step 8: Wooden pole
Go over your lines, then colour the pole wood brown.
Step 9: Grey collar and bar
Colour the collar and the cross bar grey. Leave the tines as plain lines.
Step 10: Orange leaves
Colour all the leaves orange. Your rake is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a rake, drawn by you.
