How to Draw a Spatula
Draw a spatula 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 blade.
Step 1: The blade
Near the top draw a wide blade leaning left: a big box with soft corners, narrower at the bottom.
Tip Lean it like a spatula in a hand, handle going down to the right.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Low on the blade draw 2 round eyes a finger apart. Colour a black dot in each, with a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile from eye to eye, and a little oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: Three slots
Across the top of the blade draw 3 long thin slots side by side, like tall boxes with round ends.
Step 5: The neck
From the middle of the blade's bottom draw a short narrow neck: 2 close lines going down and out.
Step 6: The handle
From the neck draw a long fat handle down to the right, a thumb wide, rounded at the end.
Step 7: A hanging hole
Near the end of the handle draw a small round hole.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 sparkle stars around the spatula, each with 4 points like a plus sign.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles, pink cheeks
Go over your lines, then colour the sparkle stars yellow and the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Grey blade
Colour the blade and the neck grey around the eyes, cheeks and slots. Leave the eyes and slots white.
Step 11: Red handle
Colour the handle red, leaving the hole white, and your spatula is ready to flip pancakes!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a spatula, drawn by you.
