How to Draw a Nonagon
Draw a nonagon 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 four sides.
Step 1: Top four sides
Start at a top point. Slant gently down each way like a low roof, then steeply. Stop near the middle.
Tip Make all 4 lines the same length. It looks like a wide tent.
Step 2: Bottom five sides
From each end go down and a little in, then slant in. Join the ends with a flat bottom.
Tip A nonagon has 9 equal sides. Count them: 4 on top, 5 below.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the middle of the nonagon draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Tip Leave a tiny white dot in each black dot. That is the shine.
Step 4: Big smile
Leave a gap under the eyes, then draw a wide U smile from under one eye to the other.
Step 5: Rosy cheeks
Under the outside of each eye, clear of the smile, draw a small sideways oval for a cheek.
Step 6: Sparkles
Draw 2 sparkle stars on each side of the nonagon, one high and one low.
Tip A sparkle star has 4 points: up, down, left and right.
Step 7: The floor
Along the flat bottom, draw a long floor line from well past the left corner to past the right.
Step 8: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks rosy pink.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Red nonagon
Go over your lines and colour the nonagon red, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. You're done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a nonagon, drawn by you.
