Step by Step Crescent Moon Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Top Curve
Start by drawing a curved line near the top, like part of a big circle. This is the top edge of the moon.
Step 2 – Extend the Outer Curve
Continue the curve downward to make a large “C” shape. This is the outer edge of the moon.
Step 3 – Finish the Big Circle
Now connect the top and bottom to close the full moon shape. It looks like a complete circle now.
Step 4 – Begin the Inner Curve
Inside the circle, draw a second curved line from top to bottom to begin forming the crescent.
Step 5 – Close the Crescent
Connect the ends of that curve to form a smooth inner edge. Now your crescent shape is complete!
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
Draw two black dots for eyes and a smiling mouth in the middle. Your moon is now alive and glowing with joy!
