How to Draw a Boxing Bag

Boxing bags are made of heavy materials like leather or canvas, and filled with dense, resilient material that does not give when punched. Boxing bags are made to hang from the ceiling, are usually cylindrical in shape and roughly the size of a person. The purpose of a punching bag is for punching kicking. Boxers use them for training, while others use them for stress relief. When drawing a punching bag, the setting will be in a training room, or a room at home like a basement or recreation room.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Draw a cylinder 1-1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. The corners should be rounded. This is the punching bag.

2. Draw a dot 1/2 inch above the punching bag. This represents the place in the ceiling from which the punching bag hangs.

3. Draw a very thick line (approximately 1/16 or 1/8 inch thick) from the center of the bag to the dot above the bag. This is a strap that connects the bag to the ceiling.

4. Draw a very thick line (the same thickness as the line in step 3) from the upper left corner of the bag to the dot above the bag. This is the second strap that connects the bag to the ceiling.

5. Draw a very thick line (the same thickness as the line in step 3) from the upper right corner of the bag to the dot above the bag. This is the third strap that connects the bag to the ceiling.

Tips & Warnings

• You may want to make the sides and top of the bag slightly bulging, bending outward, to indicate the fullness and over-stuffed quality of the bag.
