How to Draw a Quatrefoil
Draw a quatrefoil 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: a light square.
Step 1: A light square
In the middle of your paper, lightly draw a square about as wide as your hand.
Tip Press softly. A quatrefoil has 4 round loops, one on each side of the square.
Step 2: Four round loops
Start on a corner. Draw a big round loop out and stop on the next corner. Do all 4 sides.
Tip Make every loop the same size, a little wider than the square.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Rub out the square. In the middle draw 2 big egg eyes with black dots and shines.
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 quatrefoil, one high and one low.
Tip A sparkle star has 4 points: up, down, left and right.
Step 7: The floor
Under the quatrefoil, draw a long floor line from far left to far right, just touching the bottom loop.
Step 8: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks rosy pink.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Teal quatrefoil
Go over your lines and colour the quatrefoil teal, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white. You're done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a quatrefoil, drawn by you.
