How to Draw a Decagon
Draw a decagon 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: top half.
Step 1: Top half
Draw a short flat top line. From each end slant down and out, then more steeply. Stop halfway down.
Tip Make all 5 lines the same length. It looks like a wide dome.
Step 2: Bottom half
From each side point slant down and in, steeply then gently. Join the 2 ends with a flat bottom line.
Tip A decagon has 10 equal sides. Count them!
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the decagon draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Tip Leave a tiny white dot in each black dot. That is the shine.
Step 4: Big smile
Leave a gap under the eyes, then draw a wide U smile from under one eye to the other.
Step 5: Rosy cheeks
Under the outside of each eye, clear of the smile, draw a small sideways oval for a cheek.
Step 6: Sparkles
Draw 2 sparkle stars on each side of the decagon, one high and one low.
Tip A sparkle star has 4 points: up, down, left and right.
Step 7: The floor
Along the flat bottom, draw a long floor line from well past the left corner to past the right.
Step 8: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks rosy pink.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Purple decagon
Go over your lines and colour the decagon purple, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. You're done!
