To draw planet Earth step by step, follow along with the video tutorial below and pause the video after each step to go at your own pace. You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below. The new lines in each step are shown in red, and each step is explained in the text below the photo, so you'll know exactly what to draw in each step. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods! Take your time and draw at your own pace.

 

The written step-by-step video tutorial:

 

Intro: Start off with a pencil sketch. In the beginning stages, don’t press down too hard. Use light, smooth strokes for sketching.

 

 

Step 1: Make two marks on your paper, one at the top and one at the bottom. This will determine the height of your Earth. On the sides, draw two more marks to determine the width of your Earth. Keep the marks at equal distances. Now connect all the marks using curved lines to create a big circle shape. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. Draw the same curvature for each connecting line for a more circular shape. If you're struggling to draw the circle, just trace the outer rim of a circular object like a bowl or a lid.

 

Step 2: Draw a small, V-shaped line at the top for the first part of North America. To the left, draw a wavy line. Your lines don't have to look exactly like mine. As long as they're similar, it will still look like planet Earth.

Step 3: Draw another wavy line below for more of North America. We're not drawing a photorealistic Earth, so don't worry if this isn't exactly what the coast of Canada looks like.

 

Step 4: Draw the line downward. About halfway on the circle, draw a thin, U- shaped line for the Florida peninsula.

 

Step 5: Below that, draw a wavy line for the Gulf of Mexico.

Step 6: Continue to draw the line to the right, and then curve it down for the right edge of South America.

 

Step 7: Starting at the bottom of your Earth, draw a curved line on the left side for the east coast of South America.

Step 8: Draw another line at the top for the left edge of Mexico. Make the area connecting North and South America narrow.

 

Step 9: On the left side, draw a second peninsula for Baja California and then curve the line up for the west coast of the US.

 

Step 10: To the right of Florida, draw a few small shapes for some Caribbean islands.

Step 11: On the top, right side of the globe, draw an irregular shape made up of wavy lines for Europe.

 

Step 12: At the top of your planet Earth, draw a few smaller irregular shapes to represent the UK, Ireland and Iceland.

Step 13: On the right side of the globe, draw a big, curved shape for the top part of the African continent.

 

Step 14: Using a pen or marker, carefully draw over the lines to make your Earth drawing permanent. After inking, get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser.

 

Final Step: Color your planet Earth drawing using colored pencils, markers or crayons! Use green for the land. Color the water blue. Don't forget to pause the video after each step to draw at your own pace.
