How to Draw a Small Intestine
Draw a small intestine in 10 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: right bumps.
Step 1: Right bumps
Right of the middle, start near the top. Draw 3 big round bumps down to near the bottom.
Tip Make the 3 bumps the same size, like a letter B with one more bump.
Step 2: Top edge
Start on top of the right bumps. Draw a wavy line left, then curve up to a stop.
Step 3: The way in
Start there. Draw a flat end to the left, come straight down, then curve in and stop.
Step 4: Left bumps
Start where you stopped. Draw 2 big round bumps down the left side. Stop a little above the bottom.
Step 5: The way out
Start under the right bumps. Draw the same upside down: a pipe going down. Stop at the left bumps.
Step 6: Lines from the left
From each of the 3 left dips draw a wavy line across. Stop a finger short of the right side.
Tip These lines turn the shape into one long tube folded back and forth.
Step 7: Lines from the right
From the 2 dips on the right draw a wavy line across. Stop a finger short of the left side.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 sparkle stars in the empty space: 2 on the right and 1 on the left.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 3 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Pink tube
Colour the whole tube pink. Go over your lines and your small intestine is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a small intestine, drawn by you.
