1. Begin by drawing a long curved line. It should be shaped like a circle, but the circle must remain incomplete. It is not fully enclosed.

Drawing Step 2

2. Draw a curved line from the top of the line, forming a sharp point. This outlines the top of the crescent moon.

3. Draw a curved line of from the other end of the original line, again forming a sharp point.

Drawing Step 4

4. Use a series of curved lines to outline the face of the crescent moon. Notice the bulges of the brow, nose, and lips. The moon is now fully enclosed.

Drawing Step 5

5. Behind the outline of the brow, use curved lines to enclose a sharply pointed, curved shape. This forms the moon’s eyebrow.

Drawing Step 6

6. Next, draw the eye. Use three curved lines to enclose a roughly triangular shape. Draw a curved line above the eye to form the eyelid, and a curved line within the eye to enclose the circular shape of the pupil. Shade the pupil, leaving a bit uncolored to represent the eye’s “sparkle.”

Drawing Step 7

7. Draw a curved line to represent the moon’s nostril, and another for the mouth. Draw small dots at the back of the crescent to give the moon a mottled texture.
