How to Draw a Salad Spinner
Draw a salad spinner in 14 easy steps, about 11 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 bowl.
Step 1: The bowl
Below the middle draw a wide bowl like a U: start at the top left, stop level on the right.
Step 2: Flat lid
Across the top of the bowl draw a flat lid, a long low hill a little wider than the bowl.
Step 3: 2 big eyes
Low on the bowl draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile, and a small flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 5: The pump
In the middle of the lid draw a short thick stem, with a big round button on top.
Step 6: Window line
A little above the eyes, draw a line from the left side of the bowl across to the right.
Step 7: The basket
Halfway up to the lid, draw a basket line from side to side, then 7 little holes under it.
Step 8: Lettuce leaves
From the basket line draw 3 frilly lettuce leaves back down to it, each with a line up the middle.
Step 9: Spin arrow
Start beside the button and draw a curved arrow up round to its top, to show it spins.
Step 10: Ground line
Draw a straight ground line under the bowl, from near the left edge across to near the right edge.
Step 11: Sparkles
Draw 4 little sparkle stars around it, 2 up high and 2 down low, not touching it.
Step 12: Pink cheeks, yellow basket
Colour the cheeks pink, and the basket and the 4 sparkles yellow, around the holes.
Step 13: Sky window, grey lid
Colour the window sky blue around the leaves, and the lid and the stem grey.
Step 14: Green bowl, leaf lettuce
Colour the leaves leaf green. Colour the bowl, button and holes green, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
