How to Draw a Mask
Draw a mask 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: top of the mask.
Step 1: Top of the mask
Across the middle, start on the left and draw 2 wide hills with a dip between. Stop on the right.
Step 2: Bottom of the mask
From the right end draw 2 big U curves with a dip between. Stop back at the left end.
Tip Together the 2 lines make a wide sideways 8.
Step 3: Two eye holes
In each side of the mask draw a tilted almond for an eye hole. Leave a thick band all round.
Step 4: Two big eyes
Inside each eye hole draw a big egg eye, peeking through. Leave the eyes white.
Step 5: Pupils and shines
Colour a big black dot in each eye. Leave 2 tiny white shines in each dot.
Step 6: Ribbon ties
From each outside tip draw 2 lines side by side, trailing out and down. Stop below the mask.
Step 7: V-cut ends
To close each tie, start at one line, draw a V pointing up and stop at the other line.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 3 little 4-point sparkles above the mask, one over each side and a small one in the middle.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 3 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Purple mask and ties
Go over your lines. Colour the mask and both ties purple. Leave the eye holes and eyes white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a mask, drawn by you.
