How to Draw Neptune
Draw Neptune 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 planet.
Step 1: The planet
In the middle of your paper, draw a big round planet that fills most of the page.
Tip The face goes on it, so make it big.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Just below the planet's middle, draw 2 big egg eyes, a little apart, each with a black dot and shine.
Step 3: A big smile
Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile from under the left eye across to under the right eye.
Step 4: The big storm spot
On the top right of the planet, above the eye, draw a big tilted oval for Neptune's dark storm.
Step 5: Cloud streaks
Draw 2 long thin wavy clouds with round ends, one near the top and one near the bottom.
Tip Keep them near the edge, away from the face.
Step 6: Stars
Around the planet draw 4 small five-point stars, one near each corner.
Step 7: Rosy cheeks
Beside each end of the smile, colour a small pink oval for a rosy cheek.
Step 8: Stars and clouds
Go over your lines. Colour the 4 stars yellow and the 2 cloud streaks light blue.
Step 9: Deep blue planet
Colour the planet deep blue, going around the cheeks, the storm spot and the clouds. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Navy storm spot
Colour the storm spot navy, darker than the planet. Neptune is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: Neptune, drawn by you.
