How to Draw a Science Lab
Draw a science lab 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 bench top.
Step 1: The bench top
Just below the middle of your paper, draw a long thin slab from far left to far right.
Step 2: The cupboard
Start under the slab near each end. Draw a line straight down, and stop on a long floor line.
Tip Draw the floor line first if that is easier.
Step 3: The flask
Start above the bench. Slope down and out, along the bench, back up and stop. Add a neck and rim.
Tip Make both sides slope the same.
Step 4: Liquid and bubbles
Start on the flask's left side. Draw a wavy line across, stop on the right side. Add 4 bubbles.
Tip 2 bubbles sit in the liquid and 2 float out of the top.
Step 5: The tube rack
On the left of the bench draw 2 flat bars, one above the other. Join them with 2 posts.
Step 6: Three test tubes
Draw 3 tall thin tubes with round bottoms standing on the lower bar. Draw a line across each.
Tip Rub out the top bar where it passes behind the tubes.
Step 7: Microscope foot
On the right of the bench draw a long flat foot. From it draw a thick arm curving up.
Step 8: Microscope tube
From the arm's top draw a fat tube leaning down. Add a short eyepiece above and a lens below.
Step 9: Stage and knob
Under the lens draw a flat bar across to the arm. Add a round knob on the arm above it.
Tip The stage is where the glass slide goes.
Step 10: Cupboard doors
Start under the middle of the slab. Draw a line down, stop at the floor. Add 2 short handles.
Step 11: Pale glass, yellow liquid
Colour the empty glass and the 2 floating bubbles light blue. Colour the first tube's liquid and the knob yellow.
Step 12: Pink and green
Colour the middle tube's liquid pink. Colour the last tube's liquid and the flask's liquid green, around the bubbles.
Tip Leave the 2 bubbles inside the flask white.
Step 13: Grey microscope
Colour the microscope's foot, arm, stage and eyepiece grey. Colour its tube and lens dark blue.
Step 14: Wooden bench
Colour the cupboard light brown. Colour the bench top and the tube rack darker brown. Your science lab is done!
