Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.

Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big round oval. Wobbly is fine — wobbly shells make friendly ladybugs.
A round bump on top of the shell. Start and end it on the shell's edge.
Two dot eyes and a small smile under them. Keep the smile above the shell line.
Three short legs peek out on each side. Then two antennae with a dot on each end.
Draw a line down the middle of the shell. Then three round spots on each side.
A pointy leaf peeks out under the shell, with a vein down the middle. Now this ladybug is yours.
Now draw a ladybug with a pattern no ladybug has ever had.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
