How to Draw a Winking Emoji
Draw a winking emoji 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: big round face.
Step 1: Big round face
In the middle of your paper, draw 1 big circle, nearly as big as the page.
Step 2: One open eye
A little above the middle, on the left, draw 1 tall oval eye. Colour it black, leaving a white shine.
Step 3: The wink
On the right, level with the eye, draw a short curve bending down like a little smile.
Tip One eye open, one eye shut: that is a wink!
Step 4: Eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a short rainbow eyebrow. Lift the one over the wink a bit higher.
Step 5: Big smile
Start below the left eye. Draw a huge U, ending on the right. Join the ends with a straight line.
Step 6: Teeth
Just under the straight line, start at the left corner and draw a gentle curve across to the right corner.
Step 7: Shine
Inside the top left edge, draw a short curve following the circle, from above the eyebrow to eye level.
Step 8: Pink cheeks
Colour a soft pink oval on each cheek, just above the ends of the smile.
Step 9: Colour it yellow
Colour the whole face bright yellow, around the black eye, the pink cheeks and the mouth.
Step 10: Red mouth
Colour the inside of the mouth red, leaving the teeth white. Your winking emoji is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a winking emoji, drawn by you.
