How to Draw Valentines Day
Valentine’s Day is that special time of year when romantic thought and artistic expression come together to give us a rainbow of colour and a plethora of creative ideas. While it’s true that love isn’t limited to roses and cupids, these classic symbols help bring the feeling of Valentine’s Day to life.
Let’s look at how to draw the symbols of Valentine’s Day and make it an art project worth remembering!
Roses and Hearts
Roses and hearts are a classic combination that no one can resist. Creating their beautiful images can be really easy with a few simple steps. First you can start with a simple circle for the rose center. Then draw a few oval shaped petals and add some leaf accents. You can draw the stem and leaves by adding a few lines with a curvy-ish shape or zig-zag for the stem. Once the rose is complete, you can add a few heart shapes to make it a perfect Valentine’s Day card!
Cupid & His Arrows
A great Valentine’s Day card can be made with the many different shapes symbolizing Cupid and his arrows. Start with a circle for the head. Then draw a slightly bigger oval shape for the body and two round shapes to draw eyes and a nose. Lastly, draw two curved lines forming ears and a few short straight lines at the end to create Cupid’s arrows. It doesn’t take too much effort to draw this adorable cupid and his arrows!
Doves and Loves
Doves carrying hearts is a symbol of Valentine’s Day that has been around for centuries! Start with a circle for the head and draw a beak shape coming out of it. Then draw two triangle shapes for wings and a few curved lines for the feet and tail. Finally draw a heart shape for the body. You can make the dove in any color that you like and voila – a romantic card of love is ready!
Romantic Scenes
Showcasing a romantic scene on your Valentine’s Day card is a great idea. You can draw two people sitting together, holding hands and admiring a beautiful sunset. Start with two circles for the heads of the couple. Then draw the arms and legs and make sure to draw the double curved line for a heart shape. You can also add some bats, stars and an inspiring quote to complete your romantic scene.
Flowers and Trees
Adding flowers or trees is a great way to express love on your Valentine’s Day card! Try drawing a few daisies or roses at the bottom of the card or in the background. You can also draw a few leaves, petals, and stems to make it even more romantic. You can also draw a tree with a few love birds perched on its branches. You can draw the tree with a few twigs for the trunk and leaves for branches to make it look more realistic.
Mandalas
Mandalas are a form of art that symbolizes harmony and love. Start your mandala by drawing two circles at the center. Then draw two more circles within the first two adding a few circles around it. Finally you can draw a few lines to create a repeating pattern. You can choose a bright color like pink and draw geometric shapes to fill the mandala. You can also choose different colors like pink, red and orange to create an eye-catching Valentine’s Day card.
Love Letters
What can be more romantic than a love letter on a Valentine’s Day card? Start with a quill and ink pot in the corner of the card with few fluttering feathers. Then use your artistic skills to write a love letter in cursive or in a calligraphy style. You can add some love symbols like hearts and birds as you go along to make it look more romantic. Once the love letter is complete, you have your perfect Valentine’s Day card!
Writing Poems
Poems have a long standing tradition as a symbol of love. If you want to add a poetic touch to your Valentine’s Day card, start by writing a few lines and adding some heart shapes along the way. You can also draw some ribbon curls at the edges of the poem to make it look more elegant. Once the poem is complete, you have a Valentine’s Day card that can make someone feel truly special.
