Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Start the Left Side Loop
Draw a large open curve near the upper left of your page. Add an inner curve joining its top and a short curved crosspiece pointing right.
Pro Tip: Keep the lower ends open for the central mask added later.
Step 2: Add the Right Side Loop
Draw a similar open loop on the right side. Add its inner curve and a short crosspiece pointing toward the center.
Pro Tip: Leave a broad gap between the two loops for the mask.
Step 3: Outline the Main Mask
Draw a broad domed outline between and in front of the loops. Extend its sides downward, leaving the bottom open. Add a small rounded tab outside each lower side and a short inner cheek curve.
Pro Tip: Let the main outline hide the inner ends of the side loops.
Step 4: Draw the Goggles and Eyes
Draw two large rounded goggle frames with smaller matching inner outlines. Connect their tops with an arch and their inner sides with a curved bridge. Inside each lens, add an oval eye, a small pupil, and a short eyelash.
Pro Tip: Leave a clear band between each goggle’s outer and inner edges.
Step 5: Attach the Side Filter Canisters
Draw a tilted filter canister below each goggle using a broad curved end. Connect each end to the mask with short sloping edges. Add a narrow curved collar behind each canister near its attachment.
Pro Tip: Angle the two canisters outward from the center of the mask.
Step 6: Finish the Center Grille and Bottom
Draw a round central grille and an extra arch just above it. Fill the grille with nested broken arcs and tiny central openings. Connect the lower mask edges to a small bottom fitting with a curved oval base.
Pro Tip: Keep small spaces between the grille marks so they remain distinct.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
Fun Facts
- Nested outlines give the gas mask goggles visible rims without shading.
- The tilted canisters make this gas mask drawing look less flat.
- Broken arcs suggest the central grille while leaving the small pattern readable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I draw the gas mask goggles evenly?
Compare their outer widths before adding the inner outlines. Keep the space between each pair of outlines fairly consistent.
Can I simplify the gas mask grille?
Yes. Use fewer broken arcs and keep the tiny center openings clear. A simple readable pattern works better than crowded marks.
