Tips
- Large shape image. Small ones will seem unrealistic and misplaced.
- It may take several drawings to get it right, it's mathematically impossible to draw a perfect soccer ball.
- Traditional soccer balls have black pentagons and white hexagons, but you can mix and match styles and color them according to your unique design.
- It's really stressful trying to make the perfect soccer ball. Remember to take it slow and take deep breaths.
- Sketch the lines by hand and make them look better and more realistic.
Warning
- Don't draw the first black straight away, just sketch your first try. You can color the lines once you're done.
- Avoid drawing the shapes too small; they can take up a lot of space on the ball.
- Make sure you don't smudge your image.
- If you're done and not perfect, try again!
- Don't make the pentagon too big or the soccer ball won't look good.
Items you will need
