How to Draw a Honeycomb
Draw a honeycomb in 11 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 big hexagon.
Step 1: The big hexagon
In the middle of your paper draw a big 6-sided shape as wide as your hand: flat top, pointed sides.
Step 2: Two big eyes
In the middle of the hexagon draw 2 big egg eyes an eye apart. Fill most of each with black.
Step 3: A happy smile
Under the eyes draw a small U smile, starting under one eye and stopping under the other.
Step 4: Round cheeks
Beside each end of the smile draw a small flat oval cheek.
Step 5: Three cells on top
Above the eyes draw 3 little 6-sided cells in a row, each as big as a fingertip.
Step 6: Three cells below
Under the smile draw 3 more little 6-sided cells in a row, the same size.
Step 7: Side cells
Beside each cheek, near the pointed side of the hexagon, draw one more 6-sided cell.
Step 8: The ground
Draw a ground line under the flat bottom from well left to well right, passing behind the hexagon.
Step 9: Yellow honeycomb
Go over your lines, then colour the hexagon yellow around the cells and cheeks, leaving the eyes white.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 round cheeks pink.
Step 11: Orange cells
Colour all 8 little cells orange, and your honeycomb is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a honeycomb, drawn by you.
