God created man in his image and likeness, and, finally, the creator woke up in you too. Have you lost your peace and sleep in search of an answer to the question of how to draw the Sun? There is nothing easier! You just have to do as we do.

You are absolutely right if you think that the “cartoon” Sun is easy and simple to draw. After all, when you look at a real luminary that is high in the sky (do not look too long), you see just a big ball of blinding light. And anyone can draw a circle … However, let's not get ahead of ourselves, we'll tell you how to draw the Sun in stages.

Step 1 big ball of light

Find two any, but different in diameter, round objects of a suitable size for your sheet of paper (saucer, mug, coin or CD). Circle the one that is smaller so that you get a circle of the correct shape.

Step 2 - detailing the face

Another easy step. The mouth is just a curve with two brackets at the ends. Eyes and eyebrows - a pair of two short convex segments. Note that the mouth is drawn at a slight angle, which allowsmake the face of the Sun a little more interesting than if the left and right sides were symmetrical. Feel free to experiment, your inner artist knows best how to draw the Sun to create your cartoon's unique vibrant personality.

Step 3 - Rays

Place a larger prepared object on top of the Sun's face blank, but do not circle it, but draw a vertical dotted line along this circle.

Remove the subject and apply another circular dotted line around the sunny face, but with one condition: each stroke must fall just between the two marks of the large circle.

Check the picture to see if you followed the instructions correctly. This is one of the most crucial steps on the way to mastering the section of painting called "how to draw the Sun".

Step 4 - adding curves

It's time to add some curves to the cartoon sun. Let it finally shine!

Put the pencil lead on any dotted line from the outer layer and draw a concave smooth line to the nearest stroke from the inner circle.

Extend the curved line to the next point from the outer circle.

Keep doing curves like this until you have the first layer of shiny rays.

Step 5 - final row of curves

This is an optional fun science lesson on how to draw the Sun. So, if you are satisfied with the result, you can skip this step.

The essence of this step is to draw another dotted circle between the drawn rays, but you need to place the strokes a little higher. Draw small curves connecting the finished rays and the dotted lines of the top row as shown. You will have a second radiant layer.

Step 6 - coloring

Note that the Sun is not just orange, it has a bright red outline around its face. The same color should be painted over the lower part of the rays of the second layer. This gives the impression of heat spreading and that the luminary is really very hot.
