How to Draw a Football

  • Draw a circle: Start by sketching a perfect circle to represent the shape of the soccer ball.
  • Draw a pentagon: In the center of the circle, draw a regular pentagon (a five-sided polygon with equal sides and angles). This will be the central patch on the ball.
  • Add surrounding pentagons: Draw five more pentagons around the central pentagon, connecting their sides with the central pentagon’s sides. Make sure they are evenly spaced and share one side with the central pentagon.
  • Draw hexagons: Between the pentagons, draw hexagons (six-sided polygons) by connecting their sides to the adjacent pentagons’ sides. Fill the entire circle with the pattern, which should consist of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.
  • Enhance the pattern: Outline the pentagons and hexagons with slightly curved lines to create the illusion of a 3D, spherical shape. This will make your soccer ball drawing look more realistic.
  • Add shading (optional): If you want to add depth to your soccer ball, you can shade the sides of the hexagons and pentagons. Shade the areas that would be farther from the light source with a darker tone, and leave the areas closer to the light source lighter. This will give your soccer ball a more realistic appearance.
