How to Draw Paisley
Draw paisley 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 paisley.
Step 1: The paisley
Draw a big fat teardrop with a tail on top that gets thinner as it curls over to the right.
Tip Like a comma or a mango.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
On the paisley draw 2 round eyes close together. Colour a big black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a small U smile, eye to eye, and a tiny sideways oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: Inner line
Draw a second line all the way round inside the paisley, a finger in from the edge, making a band.
Step 5: Dots on the border
In the middle of the band draw a trail of little dots all the way round, some big, some small.
Step 6: Sparkles
Draw 4 sparkle stars round the paisley, 2 on each side.
Step 7: The floor
Under the paisley draw a long floor line, from under the left sparkles to under the right ones.
Step 8: Pink middle, yellow sparkles
Colour the middle and cheeks pink, leaving the eyes white. Colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Yellow dots
Colour every little dot in the band yellow.
Step 10: Purple band
Go over your lines. Colour the band and the tail purple, going around the dots. Your paisley is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: paisley, drawn by you.
