Learn How To Draw A Heart Quickly & Easily

Do you know what the biggest and most common mistake that people make when trying to create this drawing is? They struggle with the three-dimensional image simply because they approach it wrong. In this how to draw a Heart tutorial, we’ll teach you the right way. So, let’s begin with adding the right half of our heart (00 min 05 sec).

It looks exactly like a question mark and sits just a bit to the side of the middle of the paper. Don’t rush to take care of the left side yet: handle the arrow first (00 min 08 sec). It’s pretty long and narrow, just like you see in the video. The head, or, rather, the tip comes out from the other side of the heart (00 min 12 sec). Once the arrow is done, you can move on to the next stage in this how to draw a Heart tutorial – the left side (00 min 20 sec).

And don’t forget to put a tiny curve right where the arrow enters the heart to make this drawing more realistic. As for the 3D aspect, you’ll need three separate shapes inside the heart for that (00 min 28 sec). You’ve got one in the top left corner and two in the right corner. See how they give the impression that the composition “lives” in three dimensions? That’s exactly what we’re trying to achieve!

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
