Welcome, young artists! Today we’re going to explore the magical world of drawing with circles. Circles are like building blocks for amazing pictures. They can be simple or complex, small or large, and they can transform into anything you imagine!
Why are Circles So Special?

Let’s Get Started!
Materials you’ll need:

Step 1: The Perfect Circle
- The Coin Trick: Grab a coin or a round object. Place it on your paper and trace around it with your pencil. Voila! You have a circle!
- The Compass: A compass is a tool specifically designed for drawing circles. Ask a grown-up for help if you want to try this method.
- Freehand: For a more freestyle approach, try drawing a circle freehand. Start with a small dot, and then slowly draw a curved line around it, connecting the ends to form a closed shape.
Step 2: Turning Circles into Wonders
Now that you have a circle, let’s get creative!
- Animals: Circles can be the base for all sorts of animals. Add some ears, a tail, and maybe some legs, and you’ve got a cute puppy or a friendly cat!
- Faces: Draw a circle for the head, and then add eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You can even draw hair and accessories!
- Flowers: A circle can be the center of a beautiful flower. Add some petals, a stem, and maybe some leaves!
- The Sun: A big circle can be a bright yellow sun in the sky. Add some rays of sunshine for extra sparkle!
- The Moon: A smaller circle can be a silvery moon shining in the night sky. Add some craters for a realistic look!
