Step by Step Valentine’s Day Cupid Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the Halo
Start with an oval ring at the top. This is Cupid’s angelic halo.
Step 2 – Add the Head and Hair
Below the halo, draw a circle for the head. Around the top of the head, add fluffy cloud-like curves to show curly hair.
Step 3 – Draw the Face
Inside the head, draw two dot eyes and a small smiling mouth. Cupid’s face should look friendly and happy.
Step 4 – Draw the Body
Below the head, sketch a rounded triangular shape to form Cupid’s body. This creates his outfit base.
Step 5 – Add Outfit Details
Draw a sash across his chest and a small heart pendant at the center. This adds Valentine’s Day style.
Step 6 – Draw the Wings
On each side of the body, add curved wing shapes to complete Cupid’s angel look.
