How to Draw a Shield
Draw a shield in 11 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 shield.
Step 1: The shield
In the middle, draw a big shield: a flat top, 2 straight sides, then curve in to a point.
Step 2: The rim
Inside the shield, draw the same shape again, a finger in from the edge. That band is the rim.
Step 3: Two big eyes
In the top half, draw 2 big egg eyes, half an eye apart, each with a black dot and shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes, draw a small U smile. Draw a small oval cheek on each side of it.
Step 5: A star
Below the smile, draw a 5-pointed star outline in the middle of the shield.
Step 6: Rivets
Along the top band of the rim, dot 5 small circles in a row, evenly spaced.
Step 7: Shine
High on the left, just inside the rim, draw one short straight line down for the shine.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 4 sparkle stars round the shield, 2 on each side.
Step 9: Yellow rim, star, sparkles
Colour the rim band, the star and the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 11: Red shield
Colour the inside red, around the eyes, cheeks and star. Leave the eyes white. Go over your lines.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a shield, drawn by you.
