How to Draw a Squiggle
Draw a squiggle 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 squiggle.
Step 1: The squiggle
Start high on the left. Draw a fat wavy ribbon across: dip, hump, dip, then up on the right.
Tip Draw both edges so it is a thick band all the way.
Step 2: Two eyes
On the middle hump draw 2 egg eyes, a little apart. Colour a black dot in each, with a shine.
Step 3: A smile
Under the eyes, not touching them, draw a small U smile with the ends turning up.
Step 4: Rosy cheeks
A little way out from each end of the smile draw a small sideways oval for a cheek.
Step 5: Sparkles above the dips
Above each dip of the squiggle draw a sparkle star.
Step 6: Sparkles under the ends
Under each round end of the squiggle draw a smaller sparkle star.
Step 7: Floor and shadow
Draw a floor line touching the 2 dips, and a flat oval shadow on the line.
Step 8: Yellow sparkles
Go over your lines, then colour the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Pink cheeks, grey shadow
Colour the 2 cheeks rosy pink and the shadow grey.
Step 10: Green squiggle
Colour the ribbon green, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white. Your happy squiggle is done!
