How to Draw an Exclamation
Draw an exclamation 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 bar.
Step 1: The bar
In the middle, draw a tall bar, wide at the top and narrower at the bottom, with rounded ends.
Tip Like a long upside-down bowling pin.
Step 2: The dot
Under the bar, leaving a gap, draw a round dot.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Up on the bar, below the top, draw 2 round eyes close together with a black dot and shine.
Step 4: A smile
Under the eyes, draw a small U smile from under one eye to the other.
Step 5: A shine
Near the top right of the bar, above the eyes, draw a small thin oval for a shine.
Step 6: Sparkles
Draw 4 sparkle stars around the exclamation mark, 2 on each side.
Step 7: A shadow
Across the bottom of the dot, draw a thin flat oval for its shadow.
Step 8: The floor
From each side of the shadow, draw a straight floor line out, stopping a thumb from the edge.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles, grey shadow
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow and the shadow grey.
Step 10: Red exclamation
Colour the bar and dot red, around the face and shine. Leave the eyes white. You are done!
