Draw a simple oval or rounded shape for the balloon’s body. Next, sketch a smaller, tapered oval at the balloon’s bottom. Draw a string (any simple or curved line will do) coming from the tapered end of the balloon.
STEP 2: Outline the Balloon
Outline your balloon drawing images with an ink pen or darker pencil. For a dimensional effect add shading to one side of the ballon. Add highlights on the opposite side.
STEP 3: Color Your Balloon
Bright reds, blues, or yellows are hands-down statement pieces. Use colored pencils or markers to fill in the balloon. This is the time to pull out multiple shades of same color.
STEP 4: Finalize Your Balloon Drawing Images
Review your ballon drawing images and make any final adjustments. You can elaborate on the textural lines and erase any unsuspecting sketch lines. If you are enchanted by the beauty of your painting, frame it.
