Let’s have some fun drawing a soccer player! This activity is a great way to celebrate the amazing win of the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team in the World Cup. Grab your markers and paper, and let’s get started!
First, let’s draw the face of your soccer player. Start by drawing two small circles for the eyes near the top of your paper. Inside each eye, draw a tiny circle to make them look shiny. Color the big circles, but leave the tiny ones white.
Next, add eyelashes by drawing two or three little lines on each side of the eyes. Draw a small nose between the eyes and a happy mouth below it. You can make a U-shape for an open mouth to show she’s excited about playing soccer. Add an upside-down U shape inside the mouth for the tongue.
Now, let’s give your soccer player some hair! Draw an S-shaped line from the top of her head. You can add curls and waves to make the hair look fun and lively. Use your imagination to create any hairstyle you like!
Next, let’s draw the body. Start by drawing two lines for the arms, one straight and one bent. Then, draw two more lines coming down from the arms to make her body. Connect these lines at the bottom to form her shirt or jersey.
For the sleeves, draw an L-shape on one side and a backward L on the other. Finish the arms by drawing the wrists and hands. You can make the hands simple by drawing a part of a circle for the fist.
Now, let’s draw the legs. Draw one leg stretched out to the side, like she’s ready to kick a ball. The other leg should be bent, like a V shape. For the shorts, draw an upside-down V shape between the legs and connect the sides.
Draw the legs wide at the top and narrow at the ankles. Add curves at the bottom to show where the legs meet the shoes.
For the shoes, draw a curved line to outline the cleats. Add details like the pointed parts at the bottom for grip. Draw tall socks by adding curved lines above the shoes.
Your soccer player is almost done! Now, let’s add a soccer ball. Draw a circle near her feet. Inside the circle, draw a pentagon shape in the center. Add lines from the corners of the pentagon to make it look real. Color the center shape and the lines to finish the soccer ball.
To finish your drawing, add ears by drawing a letter C on one side and a backward C on the other. You can also add stripes or numbers to her jersey and change her skin tone and hair color to make your soccer player unique.
Great job! You’ve drawn a soccer player. This activity lets you be creative and celebrate the fun of soccer. Enjoy coloring your drawing and feel free to make it your own. Happy drawing!
Soccer Player Fashion Show: Once you’ve drawn your soccer player, think about what kind of uniform they might wear. Use colored pencils or markers to design a unique jersey for your player. Consider adding patterns, numbers, or even a team logo. Share your design with your classmates and explain why you chose those colors and patterns. This will help you think about how soccer players express themselves through their uniforms.
Observe and Draw: Watch a short video clip of a soccer game or look at pictures of soccer players in action. Pay attention to how they move and the different positions they take while playing. Try to draw another soccer player in a different pose, like jumping to head the ball or diving to make a save. This will help you understand how the body moves in sports and improve your drawing skills.
Soccer Ball Hunt: Go on a mini scavenger hunt around your home or school to find objects that are shaped like a soccer ball. Look for things that are round and have patterns similar to a soccer ball. Once you find them, draw these objects and compare them to the soccer ball you drew. Discuss with your friends or family how different shapes and patterns can be found in everyday life.
