Two swirl lobes
Trace a bumpy wavy outline around the bottom circle, then a smaller wavy outline around the top circle blending into it.
-
Pointed swirl tip
From the top of the middle lobe, draw a tapering point curling upward to a rounded tip well above the body.
-
Two round eyes
Add two oval eyes side by side on the middle lobe, evenly spaced from the center line.
-
Brows and mouth
Draw a short curved brow above each eye, then a wide open smiling mouth below the eyes.
-
Blushing cheeks
Add a small round blush mark on each side of the mouth, just below the eyes.
-
Shiny highlights
Add two short curved highlight lines near the top of the swirl to show a glossy shine.
-
Ink the lines
Go over every kept line with dark ink, then erase the two light guide circles.
-
Color the poop
Fill the swirl body warm brown, the eyes white, the cheeks pink, and the shine highlights a lighter tan.

Tips for Better Poop Drawings
- A contact shadow grounds everything: a soft dark pool where the object meets the surface is the difference between sitting and floating.
- Find the object’s basic solids first (box, cylinder, sphere) and get their proportions right before any detail — detail on wrong proportions is wasted work.

What is the easiest way to draw poop?
Start with a few basic boxes and cylinders, 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 poop on their very first try with it.
How long should it take to draw poop?
A simple poop drawing takes about 12 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 supplies do I need for poop drawings?
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 poop easy to draw for beginners?
Yes — poop 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.
