How to Draw a Vacuum
Draw a vacuum 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 body.
Step 1: The body
In the middle of your paper draw a tall rounded body with a dome top and a flat bottom.
Tip Like a fat loaf of bread standing up.
Step 2: The base
Under the body draw a wide flat base that pokes out past both sides.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the body draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot in each with a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The handle
From the top of the body draw a tall thin handle straight up, with a flat grip across the top.
Step 6: Wheels and button
Under the base draw a small wheel at each end. Add a little round button on top of the body.
Step 7: Hose and nozzle
From the body's right side, draw a fat hose looping down to a nozzle on the floor.
Step 8: Dust puffs
By the left end of the base, draw 3 little dust puffs like clouds, each with 3 bumps.
Step 9: Ground and sparkles
Draw a ground line under the wheels from left to right. Add 3 sparkle stars round the vacuum.
Step 10: Yellow sparkles, grey dust
Go over your lines. Colour the sparkles yellow, and the hose and dust puffs grey.
Step 11: Red body, pink cheeks
Colour the cheeks pink, then the body red around them. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Grey base and handle
Colour the base, wheels, handle, grip and nozzle slate grey. Your vacuum is ready to clean!

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