How to Draw a Water Fountain
Draw a water fountain 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: basin and post.
Step 1: Basin and post
Above the middle draw a shallow bowl. Start under it and draw a post down to a wide flat base.
Tip Press the button and a squirt of water arcs up to sip.
Step 2: The rim
Join the top of the bowl with a flat oval rim. Draw a smaller oval inside it for the water.
Step 3: A happy face
On the post draw 2 big egg eyes with black dots, a U smile, and 2 tiny cheeks.
Step 4: The nozzle
Near the middle of the water draw a small, low dome for the nozzle.
Step 5: A squirt of water
From the nozzle top draw a water arch up and down into the bowl. Add a drop each side.
Step 6: The push button
On the right side of the basin draw a small rounded button sticking out.
Step 7: The ground
Draw a ground line under the post, from left to right.
Step 8: Sparkles
Add a sparkle up on the left and a small one on the right.
Step 9: Grey fountain
Go over your lines, then colour the fountain and button grey, leaving the eyes, cheeks and all the water white.
Step 10: Blue water
Colour the water arch, the bowl water and the drops sky blue, around the nozzle.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, yellow sparkles
Colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles yellow. Ready for a sip!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a water fountain, drawn by you.
