How to Draw a Set Square
Draw a set square 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 triangle.
Step 1: The triangle
Draw a big triangle with a square corner at the bottom left. Flat bottom, tall left side, one slanted side.
Step 2: Two big eyes
In the middle of the triangle draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each eye.
Step 4: Bottom ticks
Along the bottom edge draw a row of short tick marks, every other one a little taller, like a ruler.
Step 5: Side ticks
Up the tall left edge draw the same row of tick marks, sticking in to the right.
Step 6: Angle marks
In the corner draw a curve from the bottom edge to the left edge, with 4 tiny ticks on it.
Step 7: The cut-out
Right of the smile draw a small triangle the same shape as the big one, for the hole.
Step 8: Ground line
Start a little in from the left edge. Draw a ground line under it, stopping near the right edge.
Step 9: Sparkles
To the right of the slanted side draw 3 four-point sparkles to make it shine.
Step 10: Yellow and sky blue
Go over your lines. Colour the sparkles yellow and the triangle sky blue. Leave the cheeks, hole and eyes white.
Step 11: Pink cheeks
Colour the cheeks pink. Your set square is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a set square, drawn by you.
