How to draw the sun

A big circle, a ring of rays, and a happy face. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your sun to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to the sun

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with a big circle

Draw a big round circle. Wobbly is fine — the sun is a friendly blob.

2

Add four big rays

Draw a pointy ray at the top, the bottom, and each side. Leave a little gap from the circle.

3

Fill in four more

Draw a pointy ray in each space between the first four. Now it looks like a clock.

4

Give it a happy face

Two dot eyes and a big smile in the middle of the circle.

5

Short rays and cheeks

A short line in every gap between the rays, and a round cheek on each side of the smile.

6

Finishing touches

A shiny curve at the top of the circle, and a little cloud floating by. Now this sun is yours.

Now draw the sun on its day off.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper sun into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little turn of its rays below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
