How to Draw a Valentine Heart
Draw a Valentine heart 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 big heart.
Step 1: The big heart
Start at a dip near the top. Curve down to a soft point, then curve back up to the dip.
Tip Big and chunky: 2 fat humps and a soft point.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Below the widest part of the heart draw 2 big egg eyes. Add big black dots with white shines.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The arrow tip
Up past the top right hump draw a little arrow tip pointing up and right: a triangle with a notch.
Step 5: The arrow shaft
Start at the arrow tip. Draw 2 close lines slanting down left behind the heart, ending in 2 feathers.
Tip The arrow goes right through the heart, so only the ends show.
Step 6: Little hearts
Draw 3 tiny hearts floating round the big one: one up left, one right, and one low right.
Step 7: Shine and sparkles
On the top right hump draw a little bean for the shine. Draw 2 sparkle stars, one each side.
Step 8: Pink cheeks and hearts
Go over your lines. Colour the cheeks and the 3 little hearts pink.
Step 9: Wood arrow, yellow tip
Colour the arrow shaft wood brown, and the tip, feathers and sparkles yellow.
Step 10: Red heart
Colour the heart red around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes and shine white. Your valentine is ready to send!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a Valentine heart, drawn by you.
