How to Draw a Sofa
Draw a sofa 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 back.
Step 1: The back
Above the middle draw the sofa back: a tall box with round top corners, about as wide as your hand.
Tip Like a wide loaf with a flat bottom, reaching well down the page.
Step 2: Two arms
On each side draw a tall arm sticking out past the back: a round hump on top, then straight down.
Tip The arms start halfway down the back, like big round bumpers.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the back, above its middle, draw 2 big egg eyes close together. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile, eye to eye, and a small flat cheek out beside each end.
Step 5: Two cushions
Between the arms draw 2 puffy seat cushions side by side, from arm to arm, sitting on the bottom line.
Step 6: The base
Under the cushions draw the base: a long flat band from the left arm's bottom to the right arm's bottom.
Step 7: Two feet
Under the base draw 2 short feet, wider at the top, one near each end.
Step 8: The floor
Draw a floor line under the feet, starting past the left end and stopping past the right end.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Sky cushions, wood feet
Colour the 2 seat cushions sky blue and the feet wood brown.
Step 11: Blue sofa
Colour the back, arms and base blue, around the cheeks and cushions. Leave the eyes white. Your sofa is ready!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a sofa, drawn by you.
