How to Draw a King of Hearts
Draw a king of hearts 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.
Step 1: The card
In the middle of your paper draw a tall rectangle with rounded corners, twice as tall as it is wide.
Step 2: A big heart
In the middle of the card draw a big heart: 2 round bumps on top, a point at the bottom.
Step 3: A happy face
In the heart draw 2 big round eyes. Add a curly moustache, a wide U smile under it, and cheeks.
Step 4: A tall crown
On top of the heart draw a tall crown: a flat base across the bumps, 4 points, middle ones taller.
Step 5: Band and gems
Draw a line across the crown above the base for the band, and 3 small round gems on it.
Step 6: The border
Inside the card draw a second rounded rectangle a finger in from the edge, all the way round.
Step 7: Corner marks
In the top-left corner draw a K with a tiny heart under it. In the bottom-right draw them upside down.
Step 8: A card behind
Behind the card draw a second card peeking out, tilted a little to the left, only its edges showing.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 4 small sparkle stars near the corners, not touching the cards, each a plus sign with curvy dips.
Step 10: Yellow crown, pink cheeks
Colour the crown yellow around the 3 gems, and the 4 sparkle stars yellow. Colour the cheeks pink.
Step 11: Red hearts and gems
Colour the big heart red around the crown and face, and the 2 tiny hearts and 3 gems red.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Brown moustache, blue card
Colour the moustache brown and the card behind blue. Go over your lines and your king of hearts is done!
