How to Draw a Number 9
Draw a number 9 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 big circle.
Step 1: The big circle
In the middle, near the top, draw a big round circle. This is the top of the 9.
Tip Bubble numbers are fat and round, like balloons.
Step 2: The hole
Inside it, a little below the middle, draw a small circle for the hole.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Above the hole, draw 2 round eyes close together. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: A smile
Under the eyes draw a small U smile, from under the left eye to under the right eye.
Step 5: The curl down
From the right side of the circle, draw a fat curl swooping down to the bottom left.
Step 6: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the 9 draw 2 sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 7: Sparkles on the right
Draw 2 more sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 8: Floor and shadow
Draw a floor line from left to right under the 9. Add a flat oval shadow on it.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles, grey shadow
Go over your lines, then colour the sparkles yellow and the shadow grey.
Step 10: Orange number 9
Colour the whole 9 orange, leaving the eyes white. Your bubble number 9 is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a number 9, drawn by you.
