9 steps
Draw the lid
Start by drawing the basic shape of the teapot lid. It looks like a shallow curved dome with a small circle (knob) on top.
Draw the lid rim
Below the initial lid shape, draw a narrow, curved rim. This forms the bottom of the lid.
Draw the teapot body
Draw a large circle or a slightly flattened oval below the bottom of the lid. This forms the main body of the teapot.
Draw the base
Below the main body, draw a small base that flares out slightly so the teapot can stand.
Draw the handle
On the left side of the teapot body, draw a handle. It should be a C shape made of two concentric curves.
Draw the spout
On the right side of the teapot body, draw the spout. The spout should be slender and curved outward.
Add stripes
Draw two horizontal lines across the middle of the teapot body to create a decorative stripe.
Draw flowers
Inside the middle stripe, draw three small flowers. Each flower should have a circle in the center and five or six simple petals.

Draw the Lid of the Teapot
Start by drawing the lid of the teapot. This part will have the shape of a large curved dome with a small, round ring on top, which will be the handle of the lid.
Draw the Base of the Teapot
Below the lid, draw two horizontal lines with slightly rounded ends. This forms the base of the lid.
Draw the Body of the Teapot
From the two ends of the base, draw two curved lines going downwards, meeting at a flatter, slightly curved line at the bottom. This creates the main, rounded body of the teapot.
Draw the Foot of the Teapot
Below the body of the teapot, draw a short, cylindrical foot. This consists of two horizontal lines connected by two vertical lines, giving the teapot a sturdy base.
Draw the Spout of the Teapot
On the left side of the body, draw the spout. It should have a short, curved shape that slightly widens at the top, resembling a small 'S' curve.
Draw the Handle
On the right side of the teapot body, draw the handle. This will be a classic C-shaped handle, formed by two parallel curves.
Color the Teapot
Finally, color your teapot. In this example, the entire teapot, including the lid, handle, and spout, is colored bright orange-yellow. The outlines remain black.
