How to Draw an Eye Patch
Draw an eye patch 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 patch.
Step 1: The patch
A little low in the middle, draw a big rounded patch, wider than tall and narrower at the bottom.
Tip Leave room above it for the string.
Step 2: The string
From the patch's left side draw a big loose loop tipping up to the right, ending on its right side.
Tip The string goes behind the patch, like the elastic on a mask.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the top half of the patch draw 2 big egg eyes, a little gap apart.
Step 4: Pupils and shine
Colour a big black dot in each eye, leaving a little white shine at the top.
Step 5: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a line with a U under it for a smile. Add a cheek at each end.
Step 6: A little star
Under the smile, near the bottom of the patch, draw a small five-point star.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw 3 little sparkles in the air: one at the top left and one low on each side.
Step 8: Yellow star and sparkles
Colour the star and the 3 sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Pink cheeks and mouth
Colour the cheeks and the mouth pink.
Step 10: Navy patch
Colour the patch navy blue around the eyes, cheeks, mouth and star. Leave the eyes white. Arr, it's ready!
