How to Draw a Cute Heart

1. Begin the cute heart outline by drawing a large heart. Inside it, draw an upside-down “U” shaped line. This will become the heart’s eye.

2. Connect the sides of the “U” with a curved line. Inside the eye, draw two smaller ovals within a larger oval.

Shade between them to indicate the pupil. On the opposite side, draw a curved line to indicate the closed, winking eye.

3. Shade two overlapping curved triangles alongside the open eye to indicate eyelashes. Then, draw a curved line over the winking eye to contour the eyelid.

4. Shade two curved, overlapping triangles on top of the winking eye to indicate its eyelashes. Then, draw the crescent shape of the smiling mouth.

5. Draw an oval below each eye to indicate the blushing cheeks. Then, draw a rounded “M” shaped line inside the mouth to form the tongue.

6. Draw a bow on the heart’s forehead, erasing as necessary. Use a rounded rectangle for the knot, and a partial heart shape for the lobe of the bow.

7. Draw the remaining side of the bow, erasing the heart as necessary. Use short curved lines to contour the fabric of the bow.

8. Continue contouring the bow. Decorate it with polka dots by drawing small circles.

9. Complete your cute heart outline by filling in the bow with additional polka dots.
