How to Draw a Rocking Chair
Draw a rocking chair 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 back.
Step 1: The back
In the upper middle of your paper draw a tall back rest with a rounded top and a flat bottom.
Step 2: The seat
Under the back draw a wide flat box, wider than the back, for the seat.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the back rest draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Spindles
Under the smile draw 5 short straight lines side by side down to the seat, like little fence posts.
Step 6: Two arms
On each side draw a flat arm from the back to the seat's end, with a post under its end.
Step 7: Two legs
Under each end of the seat draw a short leg going down, a little thinner at the bottom.
Step 8: The rocker
Under the legs draw a curved runner with round ends, like a smile. Add a floor line touching its middle.
Tip Keep the runner the same thickness all along, and curved so the chair can rock.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 4 little sparkles around the chair, 2 on each side, not touching it.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 11: Wood chair
Colour the whole chair wood brown, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your chair is ready to rock!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a rocking chair, drawn by you.
