Complete crystals drawing in just 9 easy steps!
Lets learn how to draw crystals together by following this guide for kids!
I will make it much easier for kids of all ages to draw these beautiful natural artifacts.
Crystals have always fascinated humans, and we have attributed great value to them.
Their beauty and perfection have made them highly sought after in all of their different forms.
This guide will give you everything you should probably do just that.
You could add your own background details and ideas to really bring these crystals to life.
Step 1
Start by drawing the first crystal on the bottom portion of your paper.
Draw a horizontal line to form the topmost part of the crystal.
Then, draw two diagonal lines heading outwards beginning from each endpoint of the horizontal line.
Afterwards, extend the lines by drawing two longer diagonal lines leaning towards each other.
Now, draw a wide V-shaped line at the bottom to enclose the figure.
At this point, the shape of the first crystal is finalized.
This time, however, this crystal should be a bit smaller than the first.
Keep in mind that the two crystals should be drawn side by side.
Continue by drawing an upside down V-shaped line to form the topmost part of the third crystal.
Then, on each endpoint of the V-shaped line, draw a downward diagonal line leaning towards each other.
This creates the entire body of the crystal.
When drawn correctly, the figure of this crystal should look like an elongated pentagon shape.
This forms the fourthand the lastcrystal in our drawing.
This crystal should be situated beside the one we drew in the previous step.
Remember, this should be the biggest and tallest crystal among all four crystals.
Keep in mind that it should look like the crystals were standing on a circular platform.
Lets start filling in the patterns of the biggest crystal.
Simply draw a small V-shaped line on the upper edge of the crystal.
Then, draw an intersecting horizontal and vertical line across the crystal.
check that to draw the lines in an angle to make them aligned with the form of the crystal.
These lines make the crystal look three-dimensional, thus making it appear more realistic!
The details in this crystal varies from the first one mainly because its form is different.
Draw a vertical line beginning from the crystals pointed edge at the top.
Proceed by drawing a V-shaped line on the top edge of the crystal.
Then, draw an intersecting angled horizontal and vertical line across the body of the crystal.
The details on this crystal should be similar to the patterns on the bigger crystal adjacent to it.
This is because these two crystals have identical shape and form, and only the size differs.
This completes the details and patterns on all four crystals.
Now that weve successfully drawn crystals, its finally time for the most exciting part.
In this final step, well be choosing the colors and coloring the crystals!
Crystals exist in every color there is.
Some of them are even multi-colored!
This gives you a lot of color options to choose from depending on which kind of crystal youre drawing.
For example, a malachite is green while a rose quartz is pink.
The colors you will be choosing for the crystals on your drawing is completely up to you!
After all, its your work of art!
Have fun playing with colors and watch as the crystals ultimately come to life!
Simplicity can be a great thing in art!
However, while that is true, it can also be great to have some complexity in your art.
We think it would be a fun challenge to create a story around this drawing.
Crystals are such a precious resource and this means that they are featured in many stories.
Crystals are also often featured in fantasy stories as sources of power.
Therefore, you could incorporate this drawing into some kind of fantasy setting.
That would be a challenge, but you could use some simple cartoon styles to represent your vision.
If you dont fancy such a high concept setting, there are some simpler stories you could create.
Maybe it could be in a museum in a glass case with families walking by and admiring it.
Once again, you could use some simple styles for these characters.
The colors you use will also contribute to the types of pictures you want to create.
What kinds of shapes and variations would you go for?
For this, you would again benefit from looking at refined crystals to help you out.
You could even incorporate the crystals into rings and other jewelry.
Again, dont be shy about creating your own unique variations!
What kinds of jewelry would you use these pretty crystals for?
When you have settled on the design of your crystals, you could also create a cool background.
Adding a background would be a great way to make this drawing of crystals even more interesting!
For example, you could have the crystals sitting on a fancy felt pillow in a museum.
What other configs can you think of that you could use for these crystals?
Some of these could be more conventional such as colored pens and markers for bright colors.
But what if we told you that you’re able to make these crystals literally sparkle?
You could do this by spreading a thin layer of glue over the crystals.
Then, carefully drop some glitter onto the glue to make it sparkle.
Blow away the excess and you have a sparkly gem to admire!
