A small garden watering can

Practice an oval opening, a curved handle, and an angled spout with this small watering can. A few edge accents make the parts feel connected.

A way into the drawing

  1. Build the body

    Draw a shallow oval top above two gently rounded sides and a curved base. Add an inner rim line to show the opening.

  2. Attach handle and spout

    Curve the handle behind the body and bring the spout out at an upward angle. Finish it with a small rounded sprinkler head.

  3. Clarify the joins

    Add a base seam and a few sprinkler holes. Use light gray inside the opening and along one body edge, with small accents under the handle and spout.

A small thing to tryCheck the spout angle before drawing its head. The connection to the body matters more than the little holes.
