How to Draw a Spoon and Fork (Easy Step by Step)
A spoon and fork crossed in an X is a fun first drawing because it uses only a few simple shapes. You will draw an egg for the spoon bowl, two long skinny handles with rounded ends, and two narrow arches that make the three fork prongs. The crossing in the middle looks tricky, but it is just lines that stop when they touch the spoon.

How to Draw a Spoon and Fork · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The spoon bowl
Near the top left, draw a big egg shape that is a little taller than it is wide. Leave a small gap at the bottom right where the handle will begin.
Step 3: The spoon handle
From the gap at the bottom of the bowl, draw two long lines going down and to the right, like a skinny road. Close the bottom with a rounded end, like a big smooth thumb.
Step 4: Left side of the fork
To the right of the spoon, start at the top and curve a line down and in toward the spoon handle. Stop where it touches the handle.
Step 5: Right side of the fork
Start high on the right and curve a long line down and around, like the outside of a bowl. Then bring it in and slant it down until it touches the spoon handle.
Step 6: The fork prongs
Between the two outer lines, draw two long, narrow arches, like upside-down Us. The gaps they make leave three prongs on the fork.
Step 7: The fork handle
Start at the left edge of the spoon handle and draw two lines going down and to the left. Join them at the bottom with a round curve so the fork handle ends in a soft loop.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a spoon and fork
- Draw the spoon first and the fork second. Where the fork lines reach the spoon handle, stop and let the spoon stay in front.
- Draw the two arches for the fork prongs long and narrow, and try to keep the gaps between the prongs about the same width.
- Make the spoon handle the same width from top to bottom, and give it a nice round end.

Questions about drawing a spoon and fork
What shapes do I need to draw a spoon and fork?
You need an egg shape for the spoon bowl, long handles with rounded ends, and two narrow arches that make the three fork prongs.
How do I make the spoon and fork look like they cross?
Draw the spoon handle all the way through first. Then stop the fork lines when they touch the spoon handle, so the spoon looks like it is in front.
How do I keep the fork prongs even?
Draw the two arches the same width and leave the same space between them. That gives you three prongs of about the same size.
