Heart Pencil Drawings

Heart drawings in pencil: a heart with a bow, a heart with dots and stripes, a broken heart with bandages, a wreath of roses, a heart lock with a key, heart balloons, a heart with wings and headphones and an anatomical heart like in a biology book.

Sketch a light outline with an HB pencil first, then add shading with a softer pencil. The easiest ones are the bandaged heart and the lock, the hardest is the anatomical heart.

Questions and answers

How do you draw a pretty heart in pencil?

Sketch the heart shape lightly with a vertical line down the middle, then go over the outline with a firmer line. A soft shadow along one edge and a light highlight on top make it look round.

How do you draw an anatomical heart?

Draw a tilted oval, add the thick arch of the aorta and a few tube-like vessels on top. Then draw thin branching vessels over the surface and shade one side.

How do you draw a heart made of roses?

Lightly sketch a heart outline and draw small roses along it, each one a spiral inside a circle. Add leaves between the roses and erase the guide line at the end.
