Shaft and blade guides
Draw a long light rectangle diagonally across the page for the shaft, then a flat oval at its lower end for the blade.

Shaft and blade guides
Draw a long light rectangle diagonally across the page for the shaft, then a flat oval at its lower end for the blade.
-
Shaft and blade outlines
Trace two parallel lines along the shaft rectangle, then trace the blade oval with a slight upward curve at its outer tip.
-
Heel and grip
Draw a short curved line joining the shaft to the blade, then add a rounded cap at the very top of the shaft.
-
Tape wraps
Add four short evenly spaced bands wrapped around the shaft near the grip, then two bands wrapped across the middle of the blade.
-
Center stripe
Draw one long thin stripe running down the middle of the shaft from the grip to the heel.
-
Puck and ground
Draw a flat oval puck resting beside the blade's tip, then a short ground line passing under both the blade and the puck.
-
Shine marks
Add two small curved shine marks near the top of the shaft to suggest a glossy surface.
-
Ink the lines
Go over every kept line with dark ink, then erase the light shaft rectangle and blade oval guides.
-
Color the stick
Fill the shaft dark gray, the tape wraps white, the blade black, and the puck matte black.

- Add a scuff or a grass stain: used equipment has character that showroom equipment doesn’t.

What is the easiest way to draw a hockey stick?
Start with precise basic geometry (usually a circle), keeping your lines light. Refine the outline, add the defining details, then erase the construction shapes. The nine-step method above breaks this down — most people get a recognizable hockey stick on their very first try with it.
How long should it take to draw a hockey stick?
A simple hockey stick drawing takes about 10 minutes following this tutorial. A quick doodle version can be done in two or three minutes, while a detailed, fully-shaded study might take an hour. Speed comes with repetition — the second attempt is always faster than the first.
What do I need to draw a hockey stick?
Just a pencil, an eraser, and any paper. An HB pencil for construction lines and a 2B for final outlines is a nice upgrade, and colored pencils or markers finish it off — but nothing on this page requires special supplies.
Is a hockey stick easy to draw for beginners?
Yes — the hockey stick is one of the friendlier subjects for beginners, and this method was written for first-timers. Kids can follow the same steps; just expect wobblier lines and more charm.
