How to Draw a Pennant
Draw a pennant in 11 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 flag pole.
Step 1: The flag pole
On the left draw a tall thin pole from near the bottom to the top. Add a ball on top.
Step 2: The pennant
From the pole, just below the ball, draw a long thin triangle flag out to the right edge.
Tip A pennant is a long skinny triangle.
Step 3: The band
A finger's width from the pole, draw a line from the top of the flag down to the bottom.
Step 4: The star
In the wide part of the pennant draw a big 5-point star.
Step 5: Trim lines
From the band draw a line along the top edge and one along the bottom. Stop well before the point.
Step 6: Wind lines
Above and below the point draw 2 short wavy wind lines that do not touch the flag.
Step 7: The ground
Under the pole draw a long ground line from the left side to the right side.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw a sparkle star left of the flag and a smaller one in the top-right corner.
Step 9: Yellow star and band
Colour the big star, the band, the ball and both sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Grey pole
Colour the pole grey.
Step 11: Red pennant
Colour the pennant red, around the star and the band. Go over your lines and your pennant is flying!
