Step by Step Footprints Drawing Instructions
Step 1 – Draw the First Footprint Curve
Start with a large, curved oval shape. This will be the front part of a single footprint — shaped like the ball of a shoe.
Step 2 – Close the Front of the Footprint
Complete the footprint by drawing a short angled line at the bottom. It now looks like a full shoe print!
Step 3 – Add the Heel to the First Footprint
Behind the footprint, draw a smaller curved rectangle. This is the heel of the first footprint.
Step 4 – Draw the Second Footprint
Repeat the first shape a little lower and to the left. This creates a walking motion and adds the second footprint’s front section.
Step 5 – Add the Heel to the Second Footprint
Now draw the heel behind the second footprint, just like you did in Step 3.
Step 6 – Add Cute Faces and Color It In!
Make it fun! Add cartoon eyes and a smile on each footprint, or decorate them with clovers. Then color them green, gold, or rainbow for a festive feel.
