How to Draw a Traffic Cone
Draw a traffic cone 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: tall cone.
Step 1: Tall cone
Near the top, draw a short flat line. From each end, draw a long line slanting down and out.
Step 2: Curved bottom
Start at the bottom left corner. Draw a smile across and stop at the bottom right corner.
Step 3: Big eyes
A little above the middle, draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot and a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a U smile. Draw a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: Flat base
Under the cone, draw a wide flat slab sticking out on both sides. Rub out the bit behind the cone.
Step 6: Two white bands
Draw 2 lines across the cone above the eyes, a thumb apart. Draw 2 more under the smile.
Step 7: Road line
Start at the left edge, under the base. Draw a straight road line across to the right edge.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw a sparkle star on each side of the cone, like it is shiny and new.
Step 9: Yellow and orange
Colour the sparkles yellow and the cone orange, leaving the 2 bands, the eyes and the cheeks white.
Step 10: Red cheeks
Colour the cheeks red.
Step 11: Grey base
Colour the base grey. Go over your lines and your traffic cone is ready!
