How to draw a money bag - a free money bag drawing guide

What can I use instead of a blending stump or an ink pen if I don’t have them?

If you don't have a blending stump, use a folded tissue, cotton swab, or your fingertip to softly blend the shading, and if you lack an ink pen, carefully trace your final pencil lines with a darker 2B pencil or a fine-tip marker during the 'trace over your final pencil lines' step.

My ink smudged and pencil lines won’t erase cleanly — how do I fix that?

Follow the instructions to wait until the ink is completely dry, then use a soft kneaded eraser gently to lift pencil guidelines and avoid smearing by touching the paper as little as possible.

How can I change this activity for different age groups?

For younger kids, skip the inking and detailed shading and have them draw the basic rounded sack and big dollar sign, while older kids can refine proportions so the base is wider and top narrower, add curved fold lines, blend shadows with a stump or tissue, and lift highlights with the eraser as described.

How can we make the money bag drawing more creative or challenging after finishing it?

Extend the activity by adding coins spilling out, drawing a patterned fabric or patch on the sack, coloring the dollar sign and bag with colored pencils or watercolor after the ink dries, or creating dramatic lighting and deeper shadows before sharing the result on DIY.org.
