BEGINNING
Start with some circles that are all the same size and one oval for interest. (Draw these lightly so you can erase them later.) In the center, draw a light circle.

FORM
There are four petals like a cross; they are like narrow hearts, draw them inside the circles. Draw the top one first, then the bottom one next, then one on the left and the one on the right last; that way, they are even. Don't try to make them perfect or the same because, in nature, nothing is perfect; some are twisted or wilted.

BRANCHES AND LEAVES
The branches are curved from above; they go down and up under the flowers. Draw two lines, one for each side.

The leaves are teardrop-shaped in twos and come off of their own little branches. Put some leaves behind the flowers for realism.

In the center are a lot of little dots sticking up.

SHADING
Shade the area around the flower so it the only thing left white or color their ping. The leaves are bright green, and the branches are red-brown.

I hope you draw a masterpiece!

The hardest part is deciding on a pose. I suggest making several rough quick sketches to get your ideas worked out.

ANATOMY
This dragon is a lizard with a long neck and wings. The lizard has elbows that point backward and knees that point forward. Draw a stick figure of the bones and then use curved lines to work out the flesh. The head is a wedge-like triangle, with a few extra lines for the jaw. The neck and tail are long like a snake.

The head is a wedge shape with a little extra narrow box-like shape underneath for the jaw. 

Add circles and ovals to shape the legs so they look muscular. Then trace around them.

WINGS
The wings are folded and lying down like a stretched-out cloth; use long graceful lines to draw them.
The back wing is just a shadow shape. 

FEET AND CLAWS
Keep the feet and claws simple. Draw circles and lines for the knuckles and bones, then draw around them the shape of the feet. The claws are curved slightly.

DETAILS
Add details carefully; the teeth and claws are triangles. The scales are dashes or dots that go in rows. The head may have horns, feathers, or a frill. Add some shadow for roundness.

Put him on a bed of golden treasure, bones, or crystals. Put him in a cave or an old broken-down castle.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

The tops are lots of circles bunched together. Go over the top edges of the circles to give the cloud shape. Put some inside not just on the tops.

Draw the clouds below the top ones. These are farther away and will have smaller circles and shapes.  Have some of the clouds go up and behind the first ones you did.

The smallest clouds will be the ones near the horizon. Put some peeking up over the distant mountains.

Draw some clouds off the side of the picture for interest and to let people know the scene goes beyond the view.

BEGINNINGS
The head is shaped like an egg but tilted to the left at the bottom. Do not draw the hat or clothing until you have a good beginning on the face.

Mark off your proportions:
     * The eye is halfway down the face.
     * The bottom of the nose is halfway from the eye to the chin.
     * The mouth is halfway from the nose to the chin.
     * The ear is almost in the center.

STYLE
Use straight choppy lines where ever possible when adding detail since it will give him a rugged look.

DETAILS TO THE FACE
The nose is hawk-like, so it sticks out and down like a rectangle.
There is a ridge on most faces over the eye, and the top of the nose is back under the ridge.

The mouth is simple; The upper lip is a line from the nose down and slightly out and then back, and it curves down for the frown. The lower lip is a half-circle that connects the upper lip and the chin. The chin is straight lines.

The eye is squinting. The top lid is arched, the bottom goes straight across from the nose and then curves up a little at the edge closest to the ear.

The ear is simple, with a few curved lines.

The hair is a mess, so draw a lot of curly shapes.

Put some shadow under the eye for bags and put wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Put a shadow under the cheekbone and use dots on the upper lip like a mustache.

Lastly, draw the hat, coat, overcoat, and wool scarf.

The flowers are trumpet-shaped, but we will draw most of them facing forward. Draw a few circles all the same size in a group. Have some apart by themselves and a few touching and one or two overlapping.

In the center of each circle, draw five lines like a star, then connect the lines into a lead. Put a circle dot in the center of the star, at the edge of the circle where the star points, draw a little arrow mark. On each side of the arrow, mark draw a curved line going down repeat the pattern all the way around the circle. Shade in the inside of the star but keep the dotted white. It doesn't need to be perfect since the edges are ruffled.

The leaves are thin like short blades of grass and are crossed in opposite directions. Put shadows between the leaves.

Give them a home in a planter or garden.

You may want to print the project notes below.

The child's figure has slightly different proportions; the head is larger, the torso is more chubby, and the limbs are shorter. With that in mind, draw a stick figure of Red Riding Hood. Give this stick figure elbows, knees, hands, feet, and a rectangle body. Sketch in the basket she is carrying so you can position the arms. Do not draw the clothing yet.

Once you have the pose correctly, work on the face. It is turned away, looking over the shoulder. Use a guideline to keep the turn right. The child's face has a larger forehead, a smaller chin, and a small upturned nose. Keep the face simple. The eyebrows go down at the outside that will give her a worried look. The mouth is just two lines thick, one going down for the shadow of the upper lip and a dash for the shadow of the lower lip. You can use her hair to hide mistakes.

Add thickness to the stick figure to give shape to the arms and legs.

Keep the hands simple. The thumbs are closest to the chest.

Lastly, draw the clothing. There is a hooded cape that has a wrap over the shoulders. There is a black dress and an apron. Give the clothing flowing lines like it is flapping in the wind.

Try wooden shoes. They look like the letter "W" on the bottom and have a pointed, upturned toe. If the feet are too hard, then hide them with grass and flowers.

Add a forest behind her by drawing a few trees with dark areas between the trees, but lots of lots of bushes on the ground and between the trees.

I hope you create a masterpiece!

Thank you!

You may want to print the project notes below'


BASIC SHAPE
Start with a circle for the head. The head is half of the figure. The ears are big they are on the top, and they are shaped like triangles. The legs are two rectangles below the head, one rear leg is behind and between the two front legs, the other rear leg is off to the side. The feet are ovals. After you have the basic design worked out then go to the details.

DETAILS
The eyes are big and wide apart; they are below the halfway mark on the head. Draw the shiny spot in the eyes before you draw the inside of the eyes. The eyelids are black.
The nose is a triangle pointing down with a curved top, there are two half-lines on each side.
The mouth looks like an upside-down "Y."
The chin is a small half circle.
The paws are flat on the bottom and have three lines going up and down for the toes.

Fur
The fur takes a lot of time. Go over your outline and use the pencil to draw hundreds of lines going outward. The stripes are also a lot of lines. The stripes are not straight across and are a little wavy.
The chest and tummy are white.

Add shadow to give the kitten roundness and depth.

How to Draw An Octopus

How to draw an octopus, a drawing lesson, and a printable worksheet.

This is a fun lesson that a lot of kids enjoy. 

This how-to-draw worksheet below may be printed for personal use. It will give the young artist confidence in drawing.

How to Draw an Octopus Worksheet.



Sometimes it takes me hours, but I create these how-to-draw worksheets I do it so that I can give back because I believe that when you have been given a gift, it is so you can be a gift to others, and I hope these worksheets are a means of blessing to you. Thank You!


To print the page above, highlight it and send it to your printer or save it to your device to print later. On some printers, it works better if you copy and paste the image into a Word Document and then print the Word Document as normal. If you have problems, click HERE to visit the how-to-print page for helpful tips.

You may want to print the project notes below.


The body of the octopus looks like a big toe or a blubbery bag: draw it as an oblong circle and a bump at the top for the eye. Behind the bump, add another for the eye on the other side. There is a ridge between the eyes, but it is not on all octopuses so don't go nuts trying to get it right.

The tentacles can go any way you want; they can be as long as you want or short since there are different types of octopuses. Draw the ones in front, closest to you, first. Start with an outline lightly at first.  For interest, have one go up so the body is behind it. After you have the first two just right draw the others behind.

The suction cups are on the bottom side in rows that get smaller as they go toward the tip.  Have them wrap around a bit for interest and to show the detail. Draw them as ovals since you see most of them on the side view if you draw a view of the bottom of a tentacle the suction cups will be a circle.

After the front tentacles take shape then draw the ones behind them. Do them one at a time so each one is behind the others.

You can color the octopus almost any way you want: some are very colorful with spots and splashes.
