How to draw an electric plug step by step
How to Draw an Electric Plug · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: The happy face
In the middle of the page, draw two small round dots for eyes, side by side. Between them and a little lower, draw a tiny curved smile like a little bowl.
Step 2: The top cap
Above the face, draw a long, wide rectangle with rounded corners. Make it flat and about as wide as the face is tall, with a thin empty strip inside it.
Step 3: The two prongs
Draw two tall skinny shapes standing up from the cap, like bunny ears with round tops. Keep them the same height and space them apart evenly.
Step 4: The round body
Under the cap, draw a big bowl shape around the face. Start at the left end of the cap, go straight down, curve around the bottom, and go back up to the right end of the cap.
Step 5: The neck
Under the round body, draw a small box with rounded bottom corners. It is where the cord will attach.
Step 6: The neck stripe
Draw one short, straight line across the middle of the neck box, from one side to the other.
Step 7: The curvy cord
Start at the bottom of the neck and draw a long curvy line that swoops down and then up to the right, like a big smile.
Step 8: The sparkle
Off to the upper left of the prongs, draw a little diamond shape with softly rounded corners. Add a tiny diamond in the middle.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing an electric plug
- Draw the two prongs the same height and the same width. Light guide lines at the top can help them match.
- Draw the face first, then build the cap and body around it. Start the bowl at the ends of the cap and curve down so both sides match.
- Keep the face small and centered. Place the eyes first, then tuck the smile between and below them.

How to color your electric plug drawing

Electric plug fun fact for kids
The metal prongs on a plug are called blades or pins. They slide into the holes of a wall socket so electricity can travel through the cord to power lamps, toys, and chargers.
