How to Draw Quotation Marks
Draw quotation marks 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 first circle.
Step 1: The first circle
Left of the middle draw a big circle for the top of the first mark.
Tip Quotation marks are twins, like 2 fat commas side by side.
Step 2: A fat tail
From the circle's right side curl a fat tail down left, back to its bottom. Rub out the line inside.
Step 3: Big eyes
On the circle 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 second circle
Right of the first mark, a small gap away, draw a second circle just as big.
Step 6: The twin tail
From its right side curl the same fat tail down left, back to its bottom. Rub out the line inside.
Step 7: Sparkles on the left
On the left of the marks draw 2 sparkle stars, one higher and one lower.
Step 8: Sparkles on the right
Draw 2 more sparkle stars on the right to match.
Step 9: Yellow sparkles
Go over your lines, then colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Teal quotation marks
Colour both marks teal, around the face. Leave the eyes white. Your quotation marks are done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: quotation marks, drawn by you.
