How to Draw a Sausage
Draw a sausage 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: a plate.
Step 1: A plate
A little below the middle of your paper draw a big oval plate, wider than your hand.
Step 2: The rim
Draw a second oval a finger inside the first, all the way round, for the rim of the plate.
Step 3: The sausage
Across the middle of the plate draw a big fat sausage lying down, bent like a banana, inside the rim.
Tip A fat bent tube, the same fatness all along, with round ends.
Step 4: Knotted ends
On each end draw a tiny oval poking out for the twisted knot of skin.
Step 5: Grill marks
Draw 4 short marks, starting a little below the top edge and stopping before the middle.
Step 6: A squiggle of mustard
Below the grill marks draw one gentle wavy line of mustard from near one end to the other.
Step 7: Steam
Just above the plate, over the sausage, draw 2 wiggly steam lines going up.
Step 8: The table
Draw a line under the plate from well left to well right, just touching its bottom.
Step 9: Sky plate
Colour the plate sky blue, going around the sausage.
Step 10: Tan knots, yellow mustard
Colour the knots tan and the mustard line yellow.
Step 11: Brown sausage
Go over your lines, then colour the sausage brown, going around the mustard. Your sausage is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a sausage, drawn by you.
