How to Draw a Dodecahedron

Step 1: Front pentagon

In the middle of your paper draw a pentagon: a point on top, 2 slanted sides and a flat bottom.

Tip A pentagon has 5 equal sides. Leave lots of room all round it.

Step 2: Two big eyes

In the middle of the pentagon draw 2 big egg eyes side by side. Colour a black dot in each.

Tip Leave a tiny white dot in each black dot. That is the shine.

Step 3: Big smile

Under the eyes draw a big wide U smile from under the left eye over to the right eye.

Step 4: Rosy cheeks

Under the outside of each eye, beside the ends of the smile, draw one small sideways oval cheek.

Step 5: Five corner lines

From each corner of the pentagon draw a short straight line pointing out, away from the middle. Stop early.

Tip Make all 5 lines the same length, about half a pentagon side.

Step 6: Two top faces

From the end of the top line, draw 2 lines down to the next line's end. Do both sides.

Tip The 2 lines bend outward where they meet, like a bent elbow.

Step 7: Two side faces

From there, draw 2 more lines down to the end of the next line. Do both sides again.

Step 8: Bottom face

Join the last 2 line ends with a wide V, from the left end down to the right end.

Tip Count the corners round the outside. There are 10!

Step 9: Sparkles

Draw 2 sparkle stars on each side of the dodecahedron, one high and one low.

Tip A sparkle star has 4 points: up, down, left and right.

Step 10: Floor and shadow

Under the bottom point draw a thin flat oval shadow. Add a floor line out from each end.

Step 11: Yellow sparkles, light tops

Go over your lines. Colour the 4 sparkles yellow and the 2 top faces light blue.

Step 12: Pink cheeks, blue front

Colour the cheeks pink. Colour the front pentagon blue, around the face. Leave the eyes white.

Step 13: Grey shadow, dark faces

Colour the shadow grey and the 3 bottom faces dark blue. Your dodecahedron is done!
