How to Draw a Teacup
Draw a teacup 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: the rim.
Step 1: The rim
Above the middle of your paper draw a wide flat oval, a hand across. Draw a smaller oval inside it.
Step 2: The cup
From the oval's left end, curve down like a bowl, across the bottom and up to its right end.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the front of the cup draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot in each.
Step 4: The handle
On the right draw a fat C handle, from under the rim back to the cup well above its bottom.
Step 5: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat cheek under the outside of each eye.
Step 6: The saucer
Draw a big flat oval saucer behind and under the cup, so the cup sits in its middle.
Step 7: Steam and table
Above the rim draw 2 wiggly steam lines. From the saucer's bottom, draw a table line out to each side.
Step 8: Pink cup
Colour the cup and its handle pink, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 9: Tan tea
Colour the tea inside the rim tan.
Step 10: Sky saucer, red cheeks
Colour the cheeks red and the saucer sky blue around the cup, and your teacup is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a teacup, drawn by you.
