In the world of sports, soccer undoubtedly reigns supreme. With billions of passionate fans worldwide, soccer holds a special place in the hearts of many. Whether you're a fan cheering from the stands or a player on the field, you might be surprised to discover that drawing a soccer ball is not as easy as it seems. But fear not! We have created a step-by-step guide to help you draw a soccer ball with ease and precision, allowing you to express your love for the beautiful game!
How to Prepare for Drawing a Soccer Ball
Drawing a soccer ball may appear simple at first glance, but it presents its own unique challenges. One of these challenges is drawing a perfect circle, which can be quite difficult to achieve freehand. That's why we recommend using a drawing compass, readily available at art and stationery stores, to ensure a perfect circle. Additionally, correctly placing the black shapes on the ball is crucial for an authentic look. Don't worry, though! We will guide you through each step, including how to add a background to your drawing to enhance its overall appeal. Remember, the most important thing is to have fun and enjoy the process. So let's dive into the guide and learn how it's done!
Let's Get Started!
Step 1
You might expect us to begin with a circle, but interestingly, we'll start with a six-sided hexagon shape. To achieve straight edges, a ruler will come in handy. Drawing a hexagon can be trickier than it appears, but with some practice, you'll master it! Believe in your abilities and give it your best shot.
Step 2 – Draw the Outline Circle
In the previous step, we didn't draw a circle. However, now is the time to create one. Using a drawing compass or any round object you have available, draw a perfect circle. Aim to place the hexagon near the center of the circle, as shown in the image.
Step 3 – Adding Shapes to the Pattern
Using the central hexagon as a reference, we will add more shapes to our soccer ball drawing. In this step, let's incorporate a five-sided pentagon shape. Take a look at the reference picture to position three pentagons around the edges of the central hexagon.
Step 4 – Expanding the Shapes
Continuing our shape-drawing journey, let's add even more shapes to the soccer ball. Utilize the spaces between the pentagons from the previous step to draw additional hexagons. Fill up most of the interior of your soccer ball drawing with these shapes.
Step 5 – Adding Final Details
Before moving on to the last step, add some final details to your soccer ball drawing. Using a ruler, draw lines from each shape point on the outer edges to the outline of the ball. This step gives your drawing the finishing touch. Feel free to include your own personalized elements, such as your favorite soccer ball brand's logo or additional background details.
Step 6 – Adding Color
Now comes the most enjoyable part of the process—coloring in your drawing! Let your creativity shine as you choose your own unique color scheme for the soccer ball. While traditional soccer balls are black and white, don't be afraid to experiment with your favorite colors. You can even add wear effects, creating a well-used look or drawing marks and rough patches to tell a story. The choice of art mediums is vast, so select the one that best suits your style and brings your drawing to life.
Take Your Soccer Ball Drawing to the Next Level…
Kick off some drawing fun by improving your soccer ball sketch! To enhance your drawing, consider adding a background to set the stage for the soccer ball. Whether it's a field, stadium, or any other location you can imagine, let your creativity run wild. You can also introduce human characters into the scene, drawing them in various styles, from cartoon to realistic. Imagine your favorite players or even depict yourself and your friends interacting with the soccer ball. If you're a fan of multiple sports, incorporate other sports equipment into your drawing. Lastly, while traditional soccer balls are black and white, feel free to explore different color variations, such as team or brand colors. Let your imagination guide you as you bring your soccer ball drawing to life.
