How to Draw a Wrist Watch

Draw a wrist watch piece by piece until you are satisfied with your drawing.

If this is your first time trying to draw a wrist watch, make sure to use a pencil before inking and coloring your drawing. Start by laying out a wrist watch on its back so that the time piece is facing upward. Use the real watch to draw your image of a wrist watch. Take it step by step and make many sketches until you are satisfied with your drawing of a wrist watch, then you can move forward to trying to draw wrist watches on people in your drawings.

Things You'll Need

• Wrist watch
• Pencil
• Paper

Instructions

1. Draw a perfect circle for the watch's face. Draw little knobs on either side of the circle where you would wind a wrist watch. These should be on the left and right. The top and bottom will have the band.

2. Draw another circle inside the first circle, close to the edge of the first circle. This will be the glass covering. Draw long, flat bands going from the top and the bottom of the watch face in long rectangles.

3. Add band lines along the band horizontally on both sides. On the top band, draw a clasp. This can be as simple as a square with a vertical line through it to signify the post that goes through the holes on the other side of the band. Draw three dots on the bottom band where the wrist watch would clasp. Once you have this sketch finished, round out the edges of the band and add thicker lines to the clasp.

4. Draw the numbers one through 12 on your watch's face as you see on any clock. Draw in a second hand (the biggest hand), a minute hand with an arrow (the second biggest hand) and the smaller hour hand in any position you choose.

5. Ink the sketch and color or shade it as you see fit.
