Step by Step Pot of Gold Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Top Rim of the Pot
Start with a wide, horizontal oval near the top of your page. Then double the line to create a thick rim, like a donut on its side!
Step 2 – Sketch the Pot Body
Now draw the round, wide body of the pot underneath the rim. Curve the sides inward slightly, then back out and down to make a rounded base.
Step 3 – Add the First Row of Coins
Time to add treasure! Draw a row of half-circles (like rainbow bumps) peeking out above the pot rim. These are your first coins!
Step 4 – Add More Coins Behind
Now draw another row of coins behind the first, making the pile look fuller. Repeat the same bumpy pattern, overlapping the shapes slightly.
Step 5 – Finish the Gold Pile
Add a final third row of coins at the top. Now your pot is overflowing with sparkly treasure — perfect for a lucky leprechaun!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Now the fun part: draw a smiling face on the pot! Add two oval eyes and a little curve for a smile in the middle. Your pot of gold is alive and happy!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This tutorial is great for ages 4–10 and beginner artists of any age. It uses basic shapes and simple steps.
Can I draw more gold spilling out?
Yes! Add more coins falling from the sides or a big sparkle to show how shiny the treasure is. Let your imagination lead!
