Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Rim and Thread Lines

Start with a wide horizontal oval to create the top opening of the mason jar.

Add a few gently curved lines below it to show the threaded rim of the glass jar.

Keep the lines soft and even so the top looks round and smooth.

Pro Tip: Keep each horizontal line following the oval curve so the rim feels more three-dimensional.

Step 2: Draw the Outer Jar Shape

From both sides of the rim, draw rounded shoulders that gently widen outward.

Continue downward with long curved sides, then connect them with a wide, soft bottom curve.

This creates the full outer shape of the mason jar.

Pro Tip: Keep both side curves similar so the mason jar looks balanced and steady.

Step 3: Add the Wavy Water Line

Draw a gentle wavy line across the upper body of the mason jar to show the water level.

Add a shorter curved line on the right side to make the water feel softly moving.

This small detail helps the jar look more lively and decorative.

Pro Tip: Avoid making the water line too straight, because a slight wave looks more natural inside the glass jar.

Step 4: Add Bubble Details

Draw several small circles of different sizes below the water line to show bubbles inside the mason jar.

Spread the bubbles across both sides and near the bottom to make the drawing feel more layered.

Leave a little open space in the center for the next detail.

Pro Tip: Avoid lining the bubbles up too evenly, because varied sizes and positions make the water look more natural.

Step 5: Draw the Heart Decoration

Draw a large heart in the center of the jar, below the water line and between the bubbles.

Make the bottom slightly pointed, while keeping both top curves soft and rounded.

This gives the mason jar a cute and friendly design.

Pro Tip: Lightly mark the heart’s center line first to help both sides look more even.

Step 6: Add the Handle

Draw a large rounded handle on the right side of the mason jar, curving outward and back in.

Add a smaller curved line inside the handle to show the open space for holding it.

Now the jar looks like a mason jar mug and the easy drawing tutorial is complete.

Pro Tip: Align the handle’s top and bottom connection points with the jar side so it looks sturdy.
