Introduction
Trash cans may not seem like the most exciting subject to draw, but they are a common item in our daily lives and can be a fun and easy drawing project. In this step by step guide, we will show you how to draw a simple trash can in just a few easy steps.
Materials
Before you start drawing, make sure you have the following materials handy:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
Step 1: Draw the Base
Start by drawing a simple oval shape for the base of the trash can. This will be the bottom part of the can where it rests on the ground.
Step 2: Draw the Body
Next, draw a slightly curved vertical line extending from the base. This will be the main body of the trash can. Add another curved line parallel to the first one, connecting the two at the top.
Step 3: Add Handles
Draw two small curved lines on each side of the trash can to represent the handles. Make sure they are symmetrical and evenly spaced.
Step 4: Add Details
Finally, add some details to make your trash can look more realistic. You can draw some horizontal lines on the body of the can to represent the texture. You can also add a lid on top of the trash can if you like.
Step 5: Finish with Shading
To add depth and dimension to your drawing, you can shade in some areas of the trash can. Darken the area below the handles and add some shading to the sides to give the can a rounded look.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully drawn a trash can. Drawing simple everyday objects like this can help improve your drawing skills and attention to detail. Feel free to experiment with different shapes and sizes to create your own unique trash can designs.
