A wall socket with a face is a funny, friendly drawing, and it is built from just a few shapes: a rounded square, a big circle, two small round eyes, and two solid dots. The eyes looking up give it a silly, thinking-about-something look. It is a great one for practicing curves and for making two matching parts.

How to draw a wall socket step by step
How to Draw a Wall Socket · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: The rounded square
Draw a big square with soft, rounded corners. This is the flat plate that holds the socket on the wall.
Step 2: Top of the circle
Inside the square, start at the left side and draw a curved line up and over, like a rainbow, ending at the right side. This is the top part of a big round circle.
Step 3: Bottom of the circle
Start where the rainbow ended on the right and draw a curve swooping down and back up to where you began on the left, like a big smile. Now the circle is closed.
Step 4: The left eye
In the middle of the big circle, on the left side, draw a small round eye. Start at the top, curve around and down, and come back up, leaving a tiny gap at the top.
Step 5: The right eye
Draw a matching round eye on the right side, the same size and height as the first one. Leave the same tiny gap at the top, and keep some space between the two eyes.
Step 6: The left pupil
Inside the top of the left eye, draw a small circle and color it in solid. It sits right under the gap at the top so the eye looks up.
Step 7: The right pupil
Draw the same small solid circle at the top of the right eye. Put it in the same spot so both eyes look up together.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a wall socket
- Draw the big circle lightly if you can. Its left and right sides touch the sides of the square, so check that it fits before you press hard.
- The two eyes are the trickiest part. Draw the left eye, then match the right one by lining up the tops and bottoms.
- Put both solid dots at the top of the eyes, in the same spot. That is what makes the eyes look up instead of straight ahead.

Wall socket fun fact for kids
