Soccer balls are fun to play with but can be unfamiliar to draw. The traditional soccer ball is made from two flat shapes, pentagons and hexagons. A pentagon, of course, is a five-sided polygon, while a hexagon has six sides. The instructions here will help you to understand how a soccer ball looks so you can draw one. Let's begin!

1. 1

   Draw a circle.

2. 2

   Draw perpendicular lines bisecting each other at the centre.

3. 3

   Draw a modest-sized hexagon at the centre of the circle to form the first guide to the shape of the ball.

4. 4

   Join further slightly squeezed hexagons from three alternate sides of the hexagon.

5. 5

   Fill the gaps with lines meeting on the perpendicular lines to form three pentagons.

6. 6

   Attach nine small joining lines to complete the guides to form the shapes of the ball.

7. 7

   Based on the guides, draw curved lines to enhance the realistic shapes of the sphere.

8. 8

   Clean-up all earlier guides.

9. 9

   Color the ball applying shades and a drop-shadows.

4. 4

5. 5

   Make a couple of overlapping ovals at the top of the circle to form the shapes of the eyes.

6. 6

   Insert a smaller oval each inside the above-made eyes to form the eye-balls.

7. 7

   Draw a smile of the ball-character at the base of the ball below the eyes.

8. 8

   Make three vertical lines within the shape of the smiling mouth joining the top and bottom edges to form the teeth.

9. 9

   Draw a couple of paddle-shapes to create the feet of the ball-character detached from the circle.

10. 10

    Join a couple of tube-like shapes on each side of the ball to form the arms of the character.

11. 11

    Add further lines to the tubes to indicate the hands.

12. 12

    Complete the drawing of the gloved fists.

13. 13

    Join further regular-shaped tubes joining the bottom of the ball to the paddle-feet to form the legs of the character.

14. 14

    Add eye-brows on top of the eyes slightly edging out of the circle and spikes on the shoes with a line for the soles as well.

15. 15

    Add the shoe-laces and color the ball-cartoon.

Add New Question

• Question

  How do you draw nothing? Is that possible?

  

  Nothing is the absence of everything. 'Drawing nothing' is simply having a blank piece of paper with nothing drawn on it.

• Question

  How do I make the hexagons and the pentagons?

  

  You can do it by doing one line straight then do one that is the same size and that is angled. Sort of like a pattern. Until you have 8 or 5 lines in total depending on the shape you want.

• Question

  How do you draw an avocado?

  

  If you know what a pear looks like, that is a good place to start. Try looking at pictures on Google Images for reference, or see if there are tutorials for drawing an avocado on YouTube.

• Traditional soccer balls have black pentagons and white hexagons, but you can mix up the styles and colors for your own unique design.

• A good way to shade is to lightly shade in your shadowed area with pencil, and then use your pinky finger to smooth out the color.

• Draw large figures. Small ones will look unrealistic and misplaced.

• Don't draw darkly at first, just sketch it out your first try. You can fill out the lines after you finish.

• If you are finished and it is so not perfect give it another go!

• Avoid drawing the shapes too small; they should take up a good amount of space on the ball.

• Don't make the pentagon too big or else the soccer ball won't look good

• Be sure that you aren't smudging your drawing.

Article Summary X

To draw a traditional soccer ball, draw a circle and put a pentagon in the center of it. Then, extend 1 straight line from each of the five vertices of the pentagon, and connect those lines with 3 lines each to form 6 hexagons. Next, join 2 corners of each hexagon to the circumference of the circle using short lines to complete the pattern. Finally, color all of the pentagons black while leaving the hexagons white to make it look realistic. Keep reading to learn how to draw a cartoon soccer ball!
