How to Draw a Trident
Draw a trident 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 long pole.
Step 1: The long pole
Down the middle of your paper draw a tall thin pole: 2 long lines joined at the top and bottom.
Tip Leave room above the pole for the points.
Step 2: The hub
A third of the way down the pole draw a small rounded block, a little wider than the pole.
Step 3: Curved arms
Start on each side of the block. Draw a thick arm that curves out and then straight up.
Tip Together the 2 arms make a big U. Stop both lower than the top of the pole.
Step 4: Middle point
On top of the pole draw an arrowhead: a sharp tip with a barb hooking back on each side.
Step 5: Side points
On top of each arm draw an arrowhead just like the middle one.
Step 6: Grip bands
Below the block draw 2 thin bands across the pole, a little wider than it.
Step 7: Cap and ground
At the bottom of the pole draw a small oval cap. Draw a straight ground line under it.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 4 small sparkle stars around the trident, not touching it.
Step 9: Gold prongs
Colour the 3 points, the curved arms and the top of the pole gold yellow.
Step 10: Orange and blue
Colour the block, the 2 bands and the end cap orange. Colour the sparkles light blue.
Step 11: Brown pole
Colour the rest of the pole brown. Go over your lines and your trident is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a trident, drawn by you.
