How to Draw a Father's Day Heart

1. Draw a heart in the middle of the page with two swooping lines that meet in a point at the bottom.

2. Sketch two wavy horizontal lines, and connect them with short vertical lines. The banner should overlap the heart.

3. Add two triangles on the left, then wrap the banner around the heart with a curve.

4. Draw two more triangles on the right. Connect them to the banner with a vertical line, then sketch a curve to make the banner look three-dimensional.

5. Sketch a short vertical line above the heart, and complete the crown with three straight triangles. Make the center triangle wider than the others.

6. Add two triangles with rounded corners inside the heart. They should be identical mirror images.

7. Sketch a rounded triangle between the shapes that you just drew, then add a large rounded diamond to form a tie.

8. Add a vertical line, and cover the rest of the tie with straight diagonal lines.

9. Write "BEST DAD" inside the banner in all-capital letters. Outline your easy Father's Day heart drawing in black ink.

Use a brush when you write "BEST DAD" to create a painterly effect. You could also try different fonts or simply use your own handwriting.

Finally, color the heart with different shades of reddish-pink, adding a white highlight near the top.

Give the tie blue-and-white stripes, or replace the blue with your dad's favorite color. Color the crown and banner with gold stripes to make them look like shining metal.
