How to Draw a Pleading Emoji
Draw a pleading emoji 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: big round face.
Step 1: Big round face
In the middle of your paper, draw 1 big circle, nearly as big as the page.
Step 2: Two huge eyes
In the middle of the face, draw 2 huge round eyes, a small gap apart, as big as plums.
Step 3: Big pupils
Inside each eye, draw a big circle, a little low, filling most of the eye.
Step 4: Wet shines
Colour each pupil black, leaving a big white shine top left and a tiny one bottom right.
Tip Giant wet eyes are what make the pleading face.
Step 5: Worried eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a long curved eyebrow sloping up toward the middle, like a little roof.
Step 6: Tiny mouth
Under the eyes, start left of the middle and draw a tiny, nearly flat curve, stopping right of the middle.
Step 7: Two cheeks
Under the outside of each eye, draw a small flat oval for a cheek.
Step 8: Shine
Near the top left of the face, draw a short curved line following the edge of the circle.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 10: Colour it yellow
Colour the face bright yellow, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Go over your lines!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a pleading emoji, drawn by you.
