How To Draw a Simple & Easy Water Gun (Super Soaker) for Kids

The ultimate toy of boyhood is arguably the Nerf’s Super Soaker. This is a recreational water gun that is capable of using water and pressure to launch long distances. Super Soakers were created by Lonnie Johnson, a brilliant and creative inventor and nuclear engineer who was inspired to create a kid’s water gun during his time in the U.S. Air Force. Nerf guns and super soaker guns became one of the best-selling toys in history – generating $200 million in sales in just one year. It’s a lot of summer backyard fun for all little ones…except we’re heading into winter and it’s rainy all week here. Hmm, what now? It’s a perfect time to learn how to draw a super soaker instead!

🖍️ Tools For Success

🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.
