9. Sketch an S-shape attached to the bristles, then turn the shape into an oval and connect it to the paintbrush with a curve.
Color Your Paintbrush Drawing
Finally, outline your easy paintbrush with a black pen or marker. Outline the paintbrush with thick lines, then use thinner lines for the paint on the bristles. Erase the pencil lines once the ink dries.
Color your paintbrush's handle reddish-orange with a gold ferrule, then use light grey for the bristles.
You can choose any color for the paint, but this guide recommends blue because it complements the other hues.

Learn More About The Paintbrush Drawing
Artists use paint brushes to create works of art, such as the Mona Lisa. Learn how to draw a paintbrush that a famous artist might like.
This step-by-step paintbrush drawing guide uses different shading methods to depict the various materials.
The ferrule (metal part) uses block shading to make it look shiny, resembling real metal. Similarly, the wooden handle has bold highlights and strong shadows.
However, the bristles have subtle shading to convey a soft, delicate texture.
The shadows are pale grey, and the highlights are nearly invisible. This contrasts with the bold, shiny paint that drips from the bristles.
