How to draw a planet, step by step
Six simple steps · best for ages 4–7 · free to print
The steps in words
- Draw a big circle in the middle of the page. This is the planet.
- Draw a flat, slanted arch across it from side to side: the front of the ring.
- Add a second line under the arch, so the ring becomes a thick band.
- Draw a few curved stripes on the planet, like clouds wrapping around it.
- In the middle, add two happy eyes and an open, smiling mouth.
- Erase the lines behind the ring, add little stars around it and go over everything.
Tip: To make the ring look as if it goes around the planet, its line disappears behind the planet and comes back on the other side.
