How to Draw a Rugby Ball
Draw a rugby ball in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 ball.
Step 1: The ball
In the middle of your paper draw a big fat oval with a point at each end, like a lemon.
Tip Fat in the middle, pointy at the ends.
Step 2: Two big eyes
In the middle of the ball draw 2 big round eyes a finger apart, with a black dot in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw 1 wide U smile from eye to eye. Add a small oval cheek at each end.
Step 4: Left stripe
Near the left point draw 2 curved lines from the top edge down to the bottom edge, a thumb apart.
Step 5: Right stripe
Do the same near the right point: 2 curved lines from the top edge to the bottom edge.
Step 6: The seam
Along the top of the ball draw a short straight seam with 4 little stitch lines across it.
Step 7: The shadow
Under the middle of the ball draw a long flat oval for the shadow.
Step 8: Ground and grass
From each side of the shadow, draw a ground line to the edge. Add 3 grass blades near its end.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 3 sparkle stars around the ball.
Step 10: Yellow stars
Colour the 3 sparkle stars yellow.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, grey shadow
Colour the cheeks pink and the shadow grey.
Step 12: Blue stripes
Colour the 2 end stripes blue. Leave the ball and eyes white, and your rugby ball is done!
