Step 1: Draw the outline of the balloon
- Make a large circle in the centre of the sheet. Erase the bottom portion of the curved line of the circle and join the ends by making a straight line.
- Mark three points on the circle, and from these points, make the curved lines a little outward.
You can refer to the image which is given above for any confusion.
Step 2: Give the pigeon a wing
- Now make vertical lines from the top of the balloon to the bottom, thus creating segments. Make sure that these lines should be at equal distances.
- Make a rectangle in continuity with a line, which we draw for joining the circle ends.
Step 3: Make it more realistic
Make straight lines from the rectangle, two from the corners and two from the centre.
These lines represent ropes that connect or hold the baskets.
Step 4: Add the details!
Now, connect these lines by making a thin leaf. Then, from the ends of the leaf, draw two diagonal lines and join the line by making a curved line.
While making the basket, you can also think of making a bucket without a handle.
Step 5: Finishing up!
We have come to the last step of balloon drawing and the most fun step.
Add whichever colour you want to add to your balloon. If you want your balloon to have one colour, it is on you. To colour the basket, go for shades of brown and colour the ropes black.
Final Touches
Add more texture to the basket by drawing vertical and horizontal lines to represent the weave of the basket. Add a small loop below the balloon and on the ends of the top of the basket.
Now, it’s time to add some glitter to the balloon. You can make horizontal lines using it.
Tips and Tricks
- In the background, you can draw clouds and birds. You can also draw a sun and place it on the corner of the sheet and show rays coming out of it.
- You can make a few balloons flying in the air with people inside it.
- Make a landscape with hills and trees in the background.
