How to Draw a Baseball
Draw a baseball in 11 easy steps, about 8 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 ball.
Step 1: The ball
Below the middle of your paper, draw one big round ball, about half as tall as the page.
Step 2: Seams and stitches
On each side, start near the top. Draw a seam bowing in, stopping near the bottom. Add 4 V stitches.
Tip Keep the seams close to the sides so the face has room.
Step 3: Big eyes
Between the seams, below the middle, draw 2 big tall oval eyes with a small gap. Add dots and shines.
Step 4: Big grin
Start under the left eye. Draw a big U grin, stopping under the right eye.
Tip Make the grin big and deep: nearly as wide as both eyes together.
Step 5: Round cheeks
Add a round cheek at each end of the grin.
Step 6: The cap
Start left above the eyes. Draw a cap rainbow over the top, stopping on the right. Add a band below.
Step 7: The bill
Start at the cap's right end. Draw a long flat bill out right, round the tip, back to the ball.
Tip The bill is long and flat, poking well past the ball: a sideways cap.
Step 8: Button and panels
Put a little button on top of the cap. Draw 2 curves from the button down to the band.
Step 9: Ground
Draw one straight ground line across the page, just under the ball.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink, and keep the eyes white.
Step 11: Red cap
Colour the cap, its bill and the button red. Leave the ball white. Your baseball is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a baseball, drawn by you.
