How to Draw a Calendar
Draw a calendar 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 page.
Step 1: The page
In the middle of your paper, draw a tall box with soft corners, a bit taller than it is wide.
Step 2: The top band
Start on the left edge, 2 fingers from the top. Draw a line straight across, stopping at the right edge.
Step 3: A happy face
In the band, draw 2 round eyes with a black dot and shine in each. Add a small U smile.
Step 4: Two rings
On the top edge, draw 2 small upright ovals, 1 on each side, half above the edge and half below.
Step 5: Lines down
Start on the band and draw 3 lines straight down to the bottom edge, evenly spaced.
Step 6: Lines across
Start on the left edge and draw 3 lines straight across to the right edge, evenly spaced below the band.
Step 7: A special day
In the second row, draw a heart in the third square, with 2 bumps on top and a point below.
Step 8: Rosy cheeks
Draw a tiny oval cheek beside each end of the smile.
Step 9: Peach cheeks, pink heart
Go over all your lines. Colour the cheeks peach and the heart pink.
Step 10: Yellow day, grey rings
Colour the heart's square yellow around the heart for the special day. Colour the rings grey.
Step 11: Red band
Colour the top band red around the cheeks and rings, leaving the eyes white. Your calendar is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a calendar, drawn by you.
