How to Draw Rock Candy
Draw rock candy in 13 easy steps, about 10 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 crystal.
Step 1: Big crystal
In the middle of your paper draw a big chunky crystal with 6 straight sides.
Tip Leave room above and below for more crystals and a stick.
Step 2: Bottom crystal
Below it, a little to the left, draw a smaller crystal tucked behind the big one.
Step 3: Left crystal
On the left draw another crystal, tucked behind the first two.
Step 4: Upper crystal
Above the big crystal draw one more, tucked behind its top.
Step 5: Upper left crystal
On the upper left draw a crystal tucked behind the ones it touches.
Step 6: Top crystals
On top draw a crystal tucked behind, then a little one peeking over it.
Step 7: The stick
From the bottom crystal draw 2 close lines straight down. Join them with a round end.
Step 8: Shiny faces
Inside each crystal draw one line beside its upper left edge, from side to side.
Tip Each line makes a thin flat face that catches the light.
Step 9: Sparkles
Around the candy draw 3 little sparkles, each with 4 points.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a short ground line under the stick, a little left to a little right.
Step 11: Light pink faces
Colour the thin face of every crystal light pink. Press very softly.
Step 12: Pink crystals
Colour the rest of each crystal a deeper pink, around the light pink faces.
Step 13: Cream stick, yellow sparkles
Go over your lines. Colour the stick cream and the sparkles yellow, and your rock candy is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: rock candy, drawn by you.
