Parents with schoolchildren in their families often have to show remarkable ingenuity and imagination in order to help their child with homework. Moms and dads are required to be able to solve problems, sew fancy dress and make a variety of fakes, including drawing no worse than professional artists. It comes to the point that the demands put forward by the children baffle the parents. For example, please draw a soccer ball. The task seems to be not difficult, but it must be done gradually.
How to draw a soccer ball
The first step is to draw the correct circle or circle. This can be done both with the help of a compass and auxiliary items. For example, you can draw a circle with a round coffee can. You can also tie a thread to a pencil, for which you need to attach the tip of the thread with a needle or a button to the sheet, pull and draw a curved line by turning the thread around its own axis.
The next step will be a little more difficult and will require some skill about you. You will need to find the center of the circle and draw a regular pentagon in it. It is worth considering that a soccer ball usually consists of black and white (or other colors) of the same sections. So the size of this section should not exceed 1/8 of the size of the circle itself. Next, draw a geometric figure, using a ruler. After that, for more accurate constructions, you will need a protractor.
Now you will need to draw adjacent to the first section. For this, measure an angle of 135 degrees from each side and mark with a dot on the sheet. Draw a line from the corner to this point. After all the lines from the five corners are drawn, it is necessary to measure out segments on them the same length as the side of the pentagon.
Now you have three sides of the new sections of the future ball. They should be hexagonal, so then we simply mirror the existing parts. As a result of these actions, we already get six sections. From them we continue to draw the next hexagons until we hit the border of the circle.
Finishing touches
It remains only to correct the lines that have gone beyond the circle with the eraser. Next, we color the ball. To do this, shade the central pentagon with black or any other color you wish, and leave the surrounding sections unchanged with white. In the third row, the hexagons should alternate in color.
Conclusion
Your drawing is completely ready. With such an image it will be possible to decorate not only a school wall newspaper, but also a poster for a holiday or simply any drawing. At the same time, with this action, you can teach your child the basics of drawing in a simple and accessible way. In addition, it will be possible to boast to friends or other parents who may not know at all how to draw a soccer ball neatly and correctly.
