How This little teapot is simple to draw because it’s made mostly from ovals.

Ovals can be tricky, but once you get the hang of them, they’re simple!
Almost every oval used to draw something, like this teapot, are the same shape, just larger or
smaller. They will all stack up on an imaginary center line, so that’s what you should draw first.

for where the handle attaches
and one for the spout.

Ovals are little hard to get right the first time, so practice drawing over this sketch
of the pot. Draw lightly at first and then darken just the lines you would keep in the
finished drawing. After you’ve practiced, try it on a new sheet of paper.

and spout. The spout is a
curved cylinder. It is larger at
the teapot end and smaller at
the pouring end. The handle is
also a curved cylinder that is a
little thicker in the middle. Use
a half circle to make the parts
of the handle. The handle
attaches at the two ovals,
which are hidden from view on
the other side of the pot.

The other ovals on the body


of the pot are guides for
decorating your pot. You can
add flowers or stripes along
these ovals.
