How to Draw a Checkmark
Draw a checkmark in 10 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 big tick.
Step 1: The big tick
Draw a fat bubble tick in the middle: a short arm down to a point, then a long arm up.
Tip A short arm down and a long arm up, like a bird's wing.
Step 2: Two big eyes
In the corner of the tick, where the arms meet, draw 2 round eyes close together with dots and shines.
Step 3: A smile
Under the eyes, draw a small U smile from under one eye to the other.
Step 4: Burst lines
Around the top of the checkmark, draw 5 short lines pointing outward, like a little burst of happiness.
Step 5: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the checkmark, draw 2 sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 6: Sparkles on the right
Draw 2 more sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 7: The floor
Draw a long floor line from left to right, touching the bottom point of the checkmark.
Step 8: A shadow
Around the checkmark's point, draw a thin flat oval on the floor line for its shadow.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles, grey shadow
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow and the shadow grey.
Step 10: Green checkmark
Colour the whole checkmark green, going around the face and leaving the eyes white. Your bubble checkmark is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a checkmark, drawn by you.
