Drawing is super fun, and today we’re going to learn how to draw a cartoon money bag like the ones you see in old cartoons. Grab your pencil, marker, and some paper, and let’s get started!
First, use your pencil to draw the shape of the money bag. Start at the top and make a big curve going down. Draw lightly so you can erase if you need to. Then, draw a line across the bottom and curve it back up to the top, leaving some space at the top. This makes the bag look round and full.
To show the opening of the bag, draw a wavy line between the two sides. Then, draw another wiggly line on the other side of the bag to make it look interesting.
Now, let’s draw the rope that ties the bag. Make three lines around the top of the bag to show the rope. Connect the ends with a small curve to make it look real. You can also draw two diagonal lines and connect them with a curve to show the rope’s end.
Take your marker and trace over the pencil lines to add more details. Add some wrinkles and corners to make the bag look more like a real bag. Draw a line across the bottom and add a corner shape that sticks out a bit. Make sure everything connects nicely.
Trace over the rope lines with your marker, making sure both sides connect. Draw the ends of the rope, keeping them short. Outline the top of the bag with lines coming from the rope, and add a few wrinkles for texture.
Use your eraser to get rid of any extra pencil lines. This will make your drawing look neat and tidy.
To make your bag look like a money bag, draw a big dollar sign in the middle. Start with a big “S” and add a line down the middle. Make it thicker by going over it a few times. Use your marker to trace around the dollar sign so it stands out.
Now for the fun part—coloring! Use your markers to color the bag and rope. You might choose a golden yellow for the rope and a lighter yellow for the bag. Add some shading to make it look even cooler.
Yay! You’ve drawn an awesome cartoon money bag! You can add more details like coins or more bags if you want. We hope you had a great time drawing, and we can’t wait to see what you create!
Money Bag Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around your house or classroom to find objects that look like a money bag. Look for things that are round and full, just like the bag you drew. Can you find a pillow, a bag of snacks, or a stuffed toy? Take a picture or draw a quick sketch of each item you find. Share your discoveries with your friends and talk about how they are similar to the money bag you drew.
Design Your Own Money Bag: Imagine you are a cartoon artist. Design a new money bag with your own special details. What would you put on your money bag to make it unique? Maybe you want to add stars, hearts, or your favorite animal. Draw your design and color it using your favorite colors. Show your design to your family or friends and explain why you chose those details.
Dollar Sign Discovery: Look around your home or neighborhood for real-life examples of the dollar sign. Can you find it on a receipt, a price tag, or a store sign? Take note of where you see it and think about why the dollar sign is used there. Discuss with a parent or teacher why the dollar sign is important and what it represents in our everyday lives.
