Hello, young artists! Today, we’re going to draw a common skin condition known as a boil. Although boils aren’t the most glamorous subjects, it’s important to understand and learn how to depict various aspects of life.
Follow my simple steps, grab your drawing tools, and let’s create an accurate representation of a boil together! 🖌️🎨
How to Draw a Boil
Step 1:
Begin by sketching a flattened oval shape. Now draw a cloud shape.

Step 2:
Above the base, add a layer of smaller, uneven circles and ovals of different sizes to represent bubbles coming out of the pot.

Step 3:
Draw a rectangle as shown in the picture.

Step 4:
Create the main body of the pot by drawing a large, rounded shape that connects to the base. It should be wide at the top and slightly taper towards the bottom.

Step 5:
Draw two small semi-circle to represent the handles.

Step 6:
To the sides of the pot, draw two small loops to represent the handles. They should be symmetrical and located just below the rim.

Step 7:
Draw a pair of straight lines below the pot, angling slightly outward, to create a stand for it to sit on.

Step 8:
Add another pair of straight lines to form a second layer of the stand, giving it stability.

Step 9:
Sketch two curved lines at the bottom center of the stand to represent logs that will serve as the fire’s fuel. Also, draw flames beneath the cauldron. Use wavy lines that come to sharp points to mimic the look of fire.

Step 10:
Finally, color your drawing. Color the pot in a dark shade like black or dark gray, the bubbles can be left white, and the fire in shades of yellow, orange, and red to represent flames.
