Whether you want a fun and relaxing activity for Valentine’s evening or you’d like to design your own cards, you can do so with our lovely Valentine’s drawing ideas.

We’ve found Valentine’s drawing ideas that are perfect for all abilities, including adults and children. You’ll find plenty of delightful drawing ideas from cuddly bear cubs to fancy flamingos. 

Each Valentine’s drawing idea has an easy step-by-step tutorial which breaks down each drawing into smaller chunks, making it easier to master. 

If you’re drawing with small children, it can be best to draw the outline for them and let them do the colouring part.

Once you’ve got the outline done, you can get creative with the designs, and use colouring pencils, fine liners or even paints to add a splash of colour to your sketches. 

Once you have completed your drawings, either display them on the wall or fridge or make a homemade Valentine's card from them.
