How to Draw a Talisman
Draw a talisman 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 medallion.
Step 1: The medallion
In the middle of your paper, a little low, draw one big round circle as big as your fist.
Step 2: The inner ring
Inside it draw a second circle a finger in, all the way round, so the rim is thick.
Step 3: A happy face
In the middle draw 2 big round eyes a finger apart with a shine. Add a smile and cheeks.
Step 4: The loop on top
On the very top of the medallion draw a small circle sitting on the rim, with a tiny circle inside.
Step 5: The cord
Draw the cord up from each side of the loop and join it in a round top.
Step 6: Circles round the rim
In the thick rim draw 10 little circles all the way round, evenly spaced.
Step 7: A tiny gem
Low in the middle, under the smile, draw a small diamond shape for a gem.
Step 8: Sparkles
Draw 4 sparkle stars around the medallion: one on each side and 2 lower down.
Step 9: Sand middle
Colour the middle of the medallion light sand, leaving the eyes white.
Step 10: Golden medallion
Colour the rim, the loop and the sparkles yellow like gold.
Step 11: Teal gem, pink cheeks
Colour the gem teal and the cheeks pink. Your lucky talisman is ready to wear!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a talisman, drawn by you.
