How to Draw a Thermos
Draw a thermos 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 body.
Step 1: The body
In the middle draw a tall box standing up, more than twice as tall as wide, with round bottom corners.
Tip Like a tall tin can.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
Near the top of the body draw 2 big egg eyes close together. Colour a black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye, and a small oval cheek at each end.
Step 4: The collar
On top of the body draw a short flat band a little narrower than the body, for the neck.
Step 5: The cup lid
On top of the collar draw a short wide cup, like an upside-down flowerpot. Add a line near its top.
Step 6: A stripe
Across the body, below the cheeks, draw a flat stripe: 2 lines from the left side to the right side.
Step 7: The handle
On the right side, beside the face, draw a C handle out and back. Add a smaller C inside.
Step 8: The table
Draw the table line from the left edge of the paper to the right edge, just touching the bottom.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 10: Green body
Go over your lines, then colour the body green around the cheeks, leaving the eyes and stripe white.
Step 11: Grey cup and collar
Colour the cup lid, the collar and the handle dark grey, and your thermos is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a thermos, drawn by you.
