How to Draw a Stool
Draw a stool in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 seat.
Step 1: The seat
A little above the middle draw a wide flat oval for the top of the seat, about a hand across.
Step 2: The seat edge
From the oval's left end go down 2 fingers, smile across under it, and back up to the right end.
Tip Keep the edge thin, just deep enough for a face.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the front edge of the seat draw 2 big round eyes. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Two legs
From the seat's bottom curve draw 2 long legs slanting out: 2 lines down and a flat foot.
Step 6: The back leg
Between them, in the middle, draw a third leg straight down from the seat, as long as the others.
Step 7: Rungs
Halfway down, draw a thin bar from each front leg across to the back leg.
Step 8: The cushion
On the seat top draw a puffy cushion, a little in from the edge, and rub out the line inside.
Step 9: Ground and sparkles
Draw a ground line under the legs from left to right, and a sparkle star on each side.
Step 10: Pink cheeks, yellow sparkles
Go over your lines, then colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow.
Step 11: Tan seat, red cushion
Colour the seat top tan around the cushion, and the cushion red.
Step 12: Wood stool
Colour the seat edge, legs and rungs wood brown, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your stool is ready!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a stool, drawn by you.
