How to Draw A Cartoon Hammer

In this tutorial, I will show you how to draw a nice cartoon hammer! This very useful tool has been around forever! Of course, the first hammer was probably made with a piece of wood and a rock. 

But despite using new materials over the centuries, the design of the hammer hasn't changed that much since then! Let's try to draw a simple hammer in this extremely easy drawing lesson! You can start with the video version below. The written tutorial is located after the video. :)

Step 1

First, sketch the handle of your hammer by drawing a long and thin rectangle. On top of this new shape, add another rectangle. Make this shape as large as the first one, but smaller in height.

Step 2

Next, add the head of your tool. Just draw a thin rectangle on top of the handle to form the main part of the head. On the right, sketch a triangle to represent the claw of your hammer. On the left, draw another rectangle to illustrate the face (or the part that hits the nail).

Step 3

Work on the outline of the head and join all pieces together.

Step 4

You can also work on the outline of the handle to make the edges a little rounder and smoother.

Step 5

Just add colors like brown and grey and you are finished! You now have a nice and simple hammer drawn in only five easy steps! This object should not be too difficult to draw if you manage to sketch a head that is accurate and well-proportioned! Have fun!
