In general, the whole process is very simple and does not require much labor. It is very important to understand which side the child wants to see his ball. The image of the ball directly depends on how the seams will be on it. To image the ball, we need paper, slate and color pencils, an eraser, compasses and paints, if necessary. A child may not always know how to draw a basketball with a pencil and compasses, so he needs the help of an adult who can give him recommendations, which are described here in several stages.
The first steps
The first step is to draw a circle with a pair of compasses. The size is chosen arbitrarily.
The horizontal and vertical lines that hide the seams must be depicted strictly according to the rules of the image of a sphere in volumetric bodies. Before you start drawing these lines, you need to decide at what angle the seams themselves will be relative to the field of view.
Bizarre curving lines are depicted similarly horizontal and vertical, but unlike the previous ones, they should not touch each other. Observing these rules, you can get a classic image of the seams on a basketball ball.
Final work
The last step in drawing a basketball is to understand what color the child wants to see his ball: either it will be a classic orange color, or it will be various other colors that alternate with each other in contrast.
After coloring, the basketball is ready!
Speaking about how to draw a basketball , it is important to note the difficulty in choosing the angle of the image of the ball. The direction in which the horizontal and vertical lines turn, will be difficult in a qualitative image of them relative to the sphere of the ball itself. It is more convenient to depict the ball so that the vertical and horizontal lines are strictly perpendicular. A more complex angle of view should be depicted after mastering simple drawing skills.
