How to Draw a Basketball
Step 1:
First, sketch a semi circle.
Step 2:
Draw another semi circle to form the basic shape of the basketball. This serves as the outline and is the foundation for your drawing.
Step 3:
Add a curved line that runs from the left to the right of the circle. This line should curve upwards, mimicking the shape of a basketball where the lines curve around the form.
Step 4:
Draw another curved line perpendicular to the first, creating a pattern similar to a tennis ball’s seam. This line should also be curved to give the ball a three-dimensional appearance.
Step 5:
Now, form an “S” shape on the right side of the basketball.
Step 6:
Now, draw a small curved line on the upper part of the basketball as shown in the picture.
Step 7:
Create the same “S” pattern on the ball as you did in step 5 of the basketball.
Step 8:
Finally, color the basketball in the appropriate shades, typically orange with black lines, to give it the iconic basketball look.
Conclusion
Creating a basketball is a fun and straightforward craft. Begin by inflating a basketball to the desired size.
