How to Draw a Yin-Yang
Draw a yin-yang 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 circle.
Step 1: The big circle
In the middle draw one big round circle, as big as your hand.
Step 2: The top curve
Start at the top of the circle. Draw a C down the left side and stop at the centre.
Step 3: The bottom curve
Start at the centre. Draw a backwards C down the right and stop at the bottom. That makes an S!
Step 4: The top dot
In the middle of the top half draw a small round dot.
Step 5: The bottom dot
In the middle of the bottom half draw a slightly smaller round dot.
Tip Keep it a little smaller: once it is coloured black it looks as big as the top dot.
Step 6: The outer ring
Around the big circle draw a second circle, a finger out, all the way round.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw a small sparkle star near each corner of the page: 4 points joined by curves that dip in.
Step 8: Yellow ring
Colour the outer ring and the 4 sparkles yellow.
Step 9: Black half
Colour the right swirl black, the side that is fat at the top. Go round the dot in it.
Step 10: White half, black dot
Leave the left swirl white and colour the dot inside it black. Your yin-yang is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a yin-yang, drawn by you.
