Small Pencil Drawings to Copy

Small drawings in simple pencil lines: a round bee, a bow, a bunny face, a sleepy cloud, a smiling heart, a kitten, a moon in a nightcap, a mushroom, a snail, a sun and a tulip. There are also two pictures with six mini doodles each, one with food and one with space.

Every drawing has a clear black outline without shading, so it is easy to copy in a notebook or sketchbook. Sketch the shape with an HB pencil first, then trace the line with a pen or fineliner.

Questions and answers

What is the easiest small pencil drawing?

The sun, the heart and the cloud with a face: each is one simple shape and a few lines. After that, try the kitten, the snail and the moon in a nightcap.

What should I use to outline a pencil doodle?

A black gel pen or a thin fineliner works well. Trace when the pencil sketch is ready, wait a minute for the ink to dry and erase the extra pencil lines.

How do I fill a page with several doodles?

Place the drawings in rows and leave a little space between them. Start with the bigger ones, like the planet or the donut, and add small stars and dots at the end.
