Materials Needed
Before we get started on the drawing process, there are a few materials you will need:

- Coloring tools (e.g. colored pencils, markers or watercolors)
Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing a Sun
Follow these steps to draw a sun:
- Start by drawing a large circle in the center of your paper.
- Next, draw some sun rays. You can make them straight, wavy or even a combination of both! Draw them extending from the edges of the circle, but not too far out to reach the edges of your paper.
- Now, you can add some facial features. As a basic guide, draw two eyes and a smiling mouth. You can add some cheeks by drawing small circles on the sides of the mouth, or even add nose or eyebrows if you want.
- Erase any unnecessary lines, and finish the drawing by coloring it in. The sun is usually depicted in yellow or orange hues, but you can let your imagination run wild and use any colors you wish!
Additional Tips
If you want to make your sun drawing more realistic, you can add some shading to the sun rays. Use a lighter shade of the same color, and apply it carefully on the rays. This will make them look as if they're reflecting some of the sun's light.
In addition, you can experiment with the background of the drawing. You can draw a calm blue sky with clouds or a bright blue expanse or maybe use red and black to draw a space background with planets and stars streaming by.
