A trophy drawing is a brilliant way to celebrate achievements — your own or someone else's. With its golden shine and stately cup shape, a trophy looks impressive even with simple lines.

🎨 What You Need

  • A4 white paper
  • HB pencil
  • Ruler
  • Black fine-liner
  • Gold, yellow, brown and grey colouring pencils
  • Eraser

How to Draw a Trophy Step by Step

  1. Use your ruler to draw a tall rectangle in the lower middle of the paper. This is the base.
  2. On top of the base, draw a smaller rectangle for the stand or stem.
  3. Above the stem, draw a wide cup shape — like a rounded bowl with a flat top.
  4. Add two curved handles on either side of the cup, sticking outwards.
  5. At the top, draw a small star or 'No. 1' sign rising above the cup.
  6. On the front of the base, leave a rectangle space for the engraving — you can write 'WINNER' or your name later.
  7. Add shine lines inside the cup and on the handles to show the golden surface.
  8. Outline with fine-liner, erase pencil marks, and colour the trophy gold and yellow, the base brown or dark grey for marble effect.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Add bright white highlights along one side of the cup and handles — that shine is what makes the gold look truly golden.

Tips for a Shiny Trophy Drawing

  • Use two shades of gold — bright yellow for the light side and darker orange-brown for the shadow.
  • Add tiny sparkles around the cup with a white gel pen.
  • Make the base look like marble by smudging grey and white together.
  • Write the winner's name in bold capital letters on the front.
