Draw with Me – Circles EP – 2

Tracing common circular objects allows artists to create recognizable animal figures from simple geometric outlines. By combining circles of varying sizes with straight or curved details, everyday shapes can be transformed into an elephant, a chicken, or a ladybug.

Tools for circular drawing

• Everyday round items like a bangle, a coin, or a water bottle cap provide smooth circular outlines of different sizes.
• Pencils help add secondary shapes such as trunks, ears, tails, and legs to the circular bases.
• Coloring supplies like color pencils, crayons, or paint are used to complete each finished animal sketch.

Steps for drawing an elephant

Tracing a large circle with a bangle forms the central body of the elephant. Two smaller circles drawn on the sides represent the ears, followed by the addition of the eyes and a long trunk. A few straight lines are added to give detail to the figure, and the entire section can then be shaded with color.

Steps for drawing a chicken

Drawing a chicken requires combining a large circle with a smaller circle to shape the body and head. Key bird features are added to this circular outline, including the eyes, a sharp beak, a tail, and two legs. Small seeds can be sketched beneath the bird to show it eating, and red coloring is applied to the head to finish the drawing.

Steps for drawing a ladybug

A single traced circle serves as the round outer body of a small ladybug. Two eyes are added to the front, and multiple legs are sketched reaching outward from the sides of the rounded frame. Several small circular dots are then drawn across the surface of the body, which can be colored in to finish the insect.
