Step 1: Prepare your materials
When you’re ready to draw a heart, first gather your supplies: paper, a pencil or pen, and an eraser. Don’t forget to find yourself a comfy place to work – creativity flows better when you’re comfy and relaxed!
Step 2: Mark your points
Next, mark two points on your paper. These two spots represent the center of your future heart. Make one in the top left, and the other in the bottom right. These will be the ‘anchors’ of your drawing; the starting and the ending points of your heart. Don’t worry if they’re not quite perfect – the beauty of drawing is learning to embrace those little imperfections!
Step 3: Draw the curve
Now, connect your two points using a smooth, sinuous curve. This should resemble the top part of a heart. Remember to keep the line soft and even as you draw. Don’t make it too sharp or it’ll look too angular.
Step 4: Smooth out the bottom
Using the same slow, graceful movements, connect one end of the top curve to the other end in more of an up-and-down motion, producing a gently curving line. This is the bottom half of your heart.
Step 5: Perfect your masterpiece
If there are any areas that look a bit uneven, then use your eraser to carefully smooth them out. This will give you a heart with graceful contours and a wonderfully even, ethereal appearance. Once you’re happy with the results, sit back and admire your masterpiece – you are an artist indeed!
