How to Draw a Light Bulb

The team of Easydrawingart.com loves to depict various cool objects related to the home interior, and today we will show you how to draw a light bulb.

We will show you how to draw a light bulb using simple geometric shapes. We painted all the new lines of each stage in red and picked up a simple and understandable explanation to simplify the process of teaching drawing as much as possible.

Step 1

Let’s start sketching a lightbulb with a simple ball. You can create this ball with a compass, or do without it. This geometric figure should be perfectly round and even.

Step 2

Now depict the bottom of the lightbulb with a shape similar to the letter U with a flat bottom. At this point, our sketch is more like a skull, right?

Step 3

Now go to the very lower part of the lamp bulb and depict the lamp holder or base. Use clear and straight lines, as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the sketch below.

Step 4

Now, using a few oblique lines, depict a thread at the lower part of the object. Our artwork with each stage becomes more like a lightbulb drawing, right?

Step 5

Now put the pencil aside and turn to an eraser to wipe off all guidelines from the light bulb drawing. Take a dark pencil or ink and trace the lightbulb drawing to give it a clearer and more aesthetic appearance.

Step 6

Now let’s pass to the inside of the bulb and depict the glass mount. Depict this detail using an uneven line, as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did.

Step 7

Now, using a few lines, depict the support wires. Try to repeat everything as the artists of Easydrawingart.com did in the example below.

Step 8

Using a curly line, depict a tungsten filament. Do not forget to depict two thin wires diverging from the glass mount up and slightly along the sides.

Step 9

If you did everything correctly, then your drawing of a lightbulb should now look like what the artists of Easydrawingart.com created in the sketch below. You can wipe off unnecessary guidelines from the artwork and trace your artwork with a darker pencil or ink.

Step 10

Now grab paints, pencils or a felt-tip pen and paint the light bulb. Make the glass itself yellow, and the base gray or light blue. You can depict some glare and shadows to your artwork to make the light bulb drawing really cool and beautiful.
