How to Draw a Softball
Draw a softball 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: big round ball.
Step 1: Big round ball
A little left of the middle of your paper, draw one big round circle, half as tall as the page.
Step 2: Curved seams
Start on the edge near the top and draw a curved seam down each side, stopping near the bottom.
Tip Keep the seams near the sides so the face has room.
Step 3: Big eyes
In the middle of the ball draw 2 big tall oval eyes. Add a black dot and shine in each.
Step 4: Big grin
Under the eyes draw a big wide U grin, from under one eye to under the other.
Step 5: Round cheeks
Add a round cheek at each end of the grin.
Step 6: V stitches
Along each seam draw 4 little V stitches, one under the other, pointing down.
Step 7: Small bat
Right of the ball, level with its bottom, draw a small bat: a knob, a thin handle, a fat end.
Step 8: Ground
Draw one long straight ground line under the ball and the whole bat, from left to right.
Step 9: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 10: Yellow ball
Colour the ball bright yellow, going around the eyes and the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Wooden bat
Colour the bat wood brown. Go over your lines and your softball is ready to play!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a softball, drawn by you.
