How to Draw Sidewalk Chalk
Draw sidewalk chalk 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 middle stick.
Step 1: The middle stick
Below the middle draw a fat stick lying on a slant, rising to the right, with round ends.
Tip Chalk sticks are fat and round, with no point.
Step 2: Two more sticks
Draw 2 more sticks just like it, one above and one below, with a thin gap between.
Step 3: A smiling sun
Up on the left draw a round sun. Give it 2 eyes with black dots and a smile.
Tip It is a chalk drawing on the sidewalk, so keep it clear of the sticks.
Step 4: Oval ends
At each stick's left end draw a curve from the top edge to the bottom edge, making an oval end.
Step 5: Sun rays
Draw 8 short rays all around the sun, leaving a little gap next to the circle.
Step 6: The sidewalk edge
Above the sun draw a straight line almost from edge to edge of your paper, for the sidewalk's back edge.
Step 7: Pink chalk and cheeks
Colour the middle stick pink, and colour 2 small pink cheeks under the sun's eyes.
Step 8: Yellow sun and chalk
Colour the sun and the top stick yellow, going around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 9: Grey sidewalk
Colour the sidewalk under the line light stone grey, going around the sun and the chalk sticks.
Step 10: Blue chalk
Colour the bottom stick blue. Go over your lines and your sidewalk chalk is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: sidewalk chalk, drawn by you.
