How to Draw A Tooth. Our teeth are really important, and taking care of them is just as important.
Also check our panda coloring pictures.
We use our teeth to chew and smile every day, but there’s more beneath the surface!
They are complex in shape, with their roots embedded in our gums. This design makes learning how to draw a tooth difficult while remaining precise and proportionate. This is the guide for you if you want to know how!
How to Draw A Tooth
Step 1
For the first step of this guide to drawing a tooth, we’ll start with the top of the tooth.
You can draw this part of the tooth with some curved lines that connect to the top of the tooth.
This forms the tooth surface so we can move on to the next section in Part 2 of this guide!
Step 2
This second part draws a little more surface for your tooth design.
This should be a really easy step as all you have to do is draw two more curved lines that connect over the others you created in step one.
Once you have drawn these lines as they appear in the reference image, move on to step 3.
Step 3
Teeth wouldn’t look very good in the mouth without roots, so we’ll draw them in the next part of our teeth drawing guide.
We don’t normally see these roots as they are embedded in our gums and jaw, but they have a fairly distinctive appearance. Teeth have many of these roots, and we will add the first two in this part.
Luckily, these roots are pretty easy to draw! Extending the lines drawn earlier, we’ll add more curved lines to form the two roots.
They have sharp but rounded tips at the end to give them a more realistic look. This will complete a general outline for the tooth, but we’ll need to add a few more details over time.
Step 4
As mentioned in the drawing teeth step above, teeth usually have more than two roots. For this reason, we will add a third one in this part.
This is also quite easy to add as you need to add another long, curved line between the other two roots to create the third one between them.
Once the root is added, you have the full outline for your tooth design complete.
Before we start coloring your image, we need to add a few details in the next step.
Step 5
We’ve previously talked about how we don’t normally see the roots of our teeth and will add more detail to separate the tooth into what we see and what is hidden.
To complete this step of our guide to drawing a tooth, let’s add a wavy line near the tooth’s center to indicate what will and will not be covered by the gum.
When this line is drawn, you’ve finished drawing your tooth and are ready for the next part!
Before moving on to the final step, here’s your chance to add more details to get the job done.
There are many creative ways to add your touch to this design, and now we’ll look at a few of them!
You could draw more gums and even have more teeth next to them. Or you can look up a cross-section of a tooth and draw a slice showing the different layers of the tooth. You could even draw a face on the tooth for a whimsical touch!
Step 6
You can top it off with great color in this final part of your tooth design!
You might think that a tooth gives you a little leeway in how you can stain it, but there’s a lot you can do!
In our reference image, we used a few shades of pink for the roots under the tooth and then various light shades of gray and white for the tooth surface.
By using different shades of these colors, you can create a more dynamic look of texture detail for drawing.
You can also use any other color you like for a more stylistic image or color in additional details or additions that you may have added.
We can’t wait to see what colors, artistic means, and techniques you use to complete this tooth design!
