Step by Step Valentine’s Day Heart Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Start with a Curve
Draw a simple curved line, like the top of a rainbow. This will form the top part of the heart.
Step 2 – Extend the Curve Downward
From one side of the curve, draw a line downward and gently curve it to create the left side of the heart.
Step 3 – Begin the Right Side
On the opposite side, draw another curve going downward to begin the right side of the heart.
Step 4 – Connect the Bottom
Bring the two curves together into a point at the bottom to finish the heart shape.
Step 5 – Smooth the Shape
Refine your lines so the heart looks symmetrical and even.
Step 6 – Add a Cute Face
For extra charm, draw two small eyes and a smiling mouth on the heart. This makes your Valentine’s Day heart look cheerful and loving!
