2. Step-by-Step Guide for Drawing the Sun
The sun smiles down on us every day, bringing warmth and light to us and every living thing. Let us draw the sun in simple steps.
Step 1: Make the circle.
First, draw four dotted lines intersecting each other, as shown in the image, to create a guide for your circle. Then, use these lines to draw the circle in perfect proportion.
Step 2: Create the triangles.
Draw four triangles on each side of the sun. Use the lines as a grid to ensure everything stays in the right portion.
Step 3: Make the happy face
Now, add the remaining triangles around the sun. Draw a happy face inside the circle by making two small black dots above the horizontal line for the eyes and an arch below the eyes for the smile.
Step 4: Erase the lines
Now, carefully remove all the extra lines that you have created for the grid. And outline your sun with a dark pen. This will make it look more cute.
Step 5: Colour it.
Here is the fun part: colour the sun a bright shade of yellow. Add small white dots inside the eyes to create depth, and draw pink circles on the cheeks to make the sun look like it’s blushing.
Final Touches
Carefully erase any extra marks or unwanted lines. If you like, you can darken the sun’s border. You can also experiment with glitters to make the sun look sparkling. Pat yourself on the back for drawing such a beautiful, bright sun! I am sure you will feel the brightness and warmth of the sun every time you look at it.
Tips and Tricks
- You can colour the background of the sun, blue to represent the sky.
- You can also draw some simple clouds beside the sun if you want to create a scenic background.
- Take your time and have fun! Drawing is about expressing yourself, so don’t worry about perfecting it.
- If you make a mistake, don’t stress. Use your eraser and try again.
- Practice makes perfect, so keep drawing until you become a pro!
Conclusion
