How to Draw a 3D Star
Draw a 3D star in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the big star.
Step 1: The big star
Near the middle draw a big five-point star, as big as your hand, one point straight up.
Tip A little left of middle: the thick side sticks out right.
Step 2: Two big eyes
In the middle of the star draw 2 BIG eggy eyes, a gap between. Black dot and shine in each.
Step 3: A big smile
Leave a gap under the eyes and draw a big wide U smile from eye to eye, ends turning up.
Step 4: Rosy cheeks
Beside each end of the smile draw one small sideways oval for a rosy cheek.
Step 5: Thick top and arm
From the top point draw a line up right. Copy the edge down, out past the arm tip, join back.
Tip Add one short slanted line at the inside corner, leaning the same way.
Step 6: Thick bottom leg
Start on the line under the right arm, copy the bottom-right leg's edge down, then join back to its tip.
Step 7: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the star draw two sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 8: Sparkles on the right
Draw two more sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 9: Floor and shadow
Start in from the left edge. Draw a floor line under the 2 bottom points, stopping before the right edge.
Tip Hang a flat half-oval shadow under the floor line.
Step 10: Yellow star and sparkles
Go over your lines. Colour the star front and 4 sparkles yellow, round the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Orange sides, pink cheeks
Colour the thick sides orange, darker than the front. Colour the 2 cheeks rosy pink.
Step 12: Grey shadow
Colour the shadow under the floor line grey. Your 3D star is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a 3D star, drawn by you.
