Introduction
Thermometers are important instruments used to measure temperature. Knowing how to draw a thermometer can be useful for various educational and artistic purposes. In this step by step drawing guide, we will learn how to draw a thermometer in a few easy steps.
Materials Required
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Ruler
Step 1: Draw the Thermometer Bulb
Start by drawing a small oval shape at the bottom of your page. This will be the bulb of the thermometer.
Step 2: Draw the Tube
From the top of the bulb, draw a straight vertical line using a ruler. This line represents the tube of the thermometer.
Step 3: Add Graduation Marks
Using your ruler, add horizontal lines across the tube to indicate the temperature graduation marks. Make sure to space them evenly.
Step 4: Add Numbers
Above each graduation mark, add the corresponding numbers to indicate the temperature readings. Start with the lowest number at the bottom and increase as you move up the thermometer.
Step 5: Add a Mercury Line
Inside the tube, draw a wavy line to represent the mercury level. This line should start at the bottom of the tube and stop at a certain point to indicate the temperature reading.
Step 6: Add Details
Finally, add details like a thermometer scale on the side of the tube, a cap on top of the tube, and any other embellishments to make your drawing more realistic.
Step 7: Erase Unnecessary Lines
Once you are satisfied with your drawing, use an eraser to remove any unnecessary pencil lines and smudges.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to draw a thermometer in a few simple steps. Practice this guide multiple times to perfect your drawing skills and create realistic and detailed thermometers.
