Step by Step Sun Drawing Instructions
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle. Drawing a circle is a great exercise for all years. It’s an easy way to follow your progress.
Step 2
Draw four triangles, one on the top, one on the bottom and another two on each on one side of the circle you drew.
Step 3
Fill in the spaces between triangles with more triangles. You don’t have to stick to the same number or the same shape of them. Nature isn’t perfect.
These are our sunrays.
Step 4
We want our sun to be friendly. Draw a pair of eyes (or sunglasses) and a simple smile.
Step 5
All done! You’ve learned how to draw the Sun. Now all that’s left is to color it.
