Volleyball may seem very simple and easy to draw at first, but when you actually pick up a pencil and start drawing, you realize they are a little difficult to capture on paper. But, never fear, in this article I will show you how to draw a volleyball step by step.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Volleyball Icon Design
Step 1. Start sketching the outline with a perfect circle
Take an old compass, coin, or cd to use as a guide in drawing the perfect circle.
Step 2. Sketch the crossed lines to show the shape of the ball
Step 3. Draw four curved lines
Step 4. Draw another line curving downwards
Step 5. Add three more lines curving downwards
Step 6. Draw two curved lines going to the right side
Step 7. Add some more curved lines
Step 8. Make sure all the corners are connected to the line
Step 9. Erase the outline sketch and draw a real perfect circle
Step 10. Color the ball with white
Step 11. Continue by adding shadows to the ball
Step 12. Add a drop shadow
Method 2 of 3: Realistic Volleyball (Using crayons as an intermediate)
Step 1. Start by sketching the outline for the circle
Step 2. Sketch the outline of the spherical shape of the circle
Step 3. Draw four curved outline sketches
Step 4. Add the three curved outline sketches that correspond to the sphere shape
Step 5. Draw two more sketched outlines curved downwards
Step 6. Add some more outline sketches
Step 7. Sketch the outline of the ball
This is a realistic volleyball so try to inflate it to show the actual volume on the surface of the ball.
Step 8. Draw the actual line
Just trace the sketch of the outlines that were sketched just now.
Step 9. Fill it with a base color
Take your white crayon and start coloring the white areas. When you color using crayons, you have to leave out the parts that need a different color because it's a little difficult to mix colors with crayons. Crayons are not as soft as pastels.
Step 10. Add gray to the shadow
On the uncolored areas, rub your gray crayon on shapes that adapt to the ball and shadow shapes.
Step 11. Mix colors
It's hard to mix two crayon colors but it's still possible. All you have to do is add a layer of the color you want to blend. In this case, take the white crayon and add another layer with some gray parts.
Step 12. Finish the design with the falling shadows
Method 3 of 3: Cartoon Volleyball
Step 1. Start by drawing a circle
If you want, you can use a coin, or another round object, to trace and make the circle absolutely perfect.
Step 2. Draw a dot in the middle of the circle
This will be used as a starting point for drawing other lines on the volleyball.
Step 3. Draw three lines on the volleyball, starting at the dot, and extending outward to the edge of the circle
The lines should all curve slightly in the same direction. The circle you drew should now be divided into three parts.
Step 4. Draw two lines inside each section
The two lines must be parallel according to the curvature of the other lines you have drawn.
Step 5. Add details, if you want
For example, you could write "Mikasa", "Molten", "Tachikara", "Wilson", or "Baden" in volleyball. You can even add any color you like.
