How to Draw a Bar of Soap · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The soap bar
Draw a big rounded rectangle, wider than it is tall, like a pillow with soft corners. Make the corners nice and round.
Step 3: The shine on top
Near the top, draw a long, gently curved line just inside the top edge that bends down on the right to meet the side. Add a tiny dot just to the left of where the line starts.
Step 4: Side shine lines
Draw a short, nearly straight line inside the left edge, going down. Then draw a longer line inside the right edge that goes down to the bottom right corner.
Step 5: The round eyes
In the middle of the soap, draw two big round dots side by side. Fill them in with your pencil or marker.
Step 6: The happy smile
Between the eyes and a little lower, draw a tiny smile that looks like a little wavy letter w. Make it small and cute.
Step 7: The big sparkle
Above the soap on the right, draw a star with four points, like a diamond with the sides curved in.
Step 8: Little bubbles
Draw three small circles floating around the soap: one above the top, one on the far left and one on the right. Add a tiny dot inside each one.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bar of soap
- Draw the big rounded rectangle lightly first. Round the corners by thinking of a pillow, not a box.
- Draw the shine lines inside the soap's edge, curving the same way as the outline, and keep them a little away from it.
- Make the two eyes the same size and put them level with each other. The tiny smile goes between them and a bit lower.

Bar of soap fun fact for kids
Soap works because each soap molecule has one end that grabs water and another end that grabs oil and dirt. When you scrub, the soap pulls the dirt off your hands so the water can rinse it away.
Questions about drawing a bar of soap
What shapes do I need to draw a bar of soap?
Start with a big rounded rectangle for the soap. Then add round dots for the eyes, a small curve for the smile, a four-point star for the sparkle and little circles for the bubbles.
How do I make my soap look shiny?
Draw a curved line along the top and a line down each side, and leave the space next to them white when you color. The little star and bubbles around it add to the clean, shiny look.
How do I make my bar of soap look cuter?
Put the face low and in the middle, with big round eyes set wide apart and a tiny smile. Rounder corners also make the soap look softer and friendlier.
