How to Draw a Fathers Day Card

12 steps · Medium · about 9 min

Draw a fathers day card in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 card front.

Step 1: The card front
In the middle of your paper draw a tall box standing up for the front of the card.
Step 2: The folded back
From the top right corner slant a short line up, a long line down, and stop at the bottom corner.
Tip This thin page is the back of the card, folded open.
Step 3: The tie knot
In the middle of the card draw a small box, a little wider at the top. This is the knot.
Tip Keep the knot small: the tie hangs from it.
Step 4: The tie
Start at the knot's bottom corners. Draw 2 lines down, getting wider, and stop at a V point.
Tip Leave room under the point: the tie stops above the bottom of the card.
Step 5: The collar
On each side of the knot draw a pointed collar flap, like a triangle tipping down.
Step 6: Tie stripes
Draw 2 slanted stripes across the tie, each made of 2 lines from one edge to the other.
Step 7: Write DAD
Above the collar write DAD in big letters. Start with a D, then an A, and stop after the last D.
Tip Make the 3 letters the same height.
Step 8: Two hearts
Draw a little heart on each side of the tie, near the bottom.
Tip A heart is 2 bumps on top and a point at the bottom.
Step 9: The ground
Draw a long ground line under the card, from the left of your paper to the right.
Tip The card stands on this line.
Step 10: Cream card
Go over your lines. Colour the card cream around the tie, collar and hearts. Colour the folded back sand.
Tip Leave the collar white, like a clean shirt.
Step 11: Yellow stripes, red hearts
Colour the 2 stripes on the tie yellow and the 2 hearts red.
Step 12: Blue tie
Colour the knot and the tie blue around the stripes. Your Father's Day card is done!
