The horizontal and vertical dashed lines running through the center of the page on Cute Things to Draw are helpful to beginner artists. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have a guide to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slightly creasing it, then unfold. Once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will not be noticeable.
Let’s start drawing cute clouds!
Drawing a cute cloud is a fun and easy way to add charm to your sketches or doodle pages. With just a few simple steps, you can create a fluffy friend that brings smiles and imagination to any drawing!
How to Draw a Cute Cloud – Simple Steps ☁️
- Start by drawing a wide, soft curve like a rainbow shape — this will be the top of your cloud.
- Underneath, draw a series of connected “bumps” or semi-circles to form the fluffy bottom edge.
- Add two small oval eyes near the center and a tiny curved smile to give your cloud personality.
- You can draw rosy cheeks or small hearts next to the eyes for extra cuteness.
- Color it in lightly with blue, gray, or even pastel shades — or leave it white with a soft outline!
