Dreamcatcher Step By Step Drawing

Download Article

Dreamcatchers are hoop-shaped hanging ornaments of beads and feathers made by Navajos (Native North Americans). They are typically hung above a bed to ward off bad dreams and as a lucky charm. Let's begin!

1

Draw a ring-shaped figure to make a hoop.
2

Draw a small pinhead circle at the center to serve as center point. The small circle serves as base for 8 leaf-shaped figures overlapping each other and surrounding the inner circumference of the circle at equal distances to each other.
3

Refine the hoop by drawing curves to make it look like encircled by a rope.
4

Draw 3 strings with elongated oval-shaped figures attached to the strings
5

Refine the sketch of unnecessary sketches.
6

Refine and color to your liking to resemble a real Dreamcatcher. Indicate especially the beads and feathers to make it distinct.

1

Draw a circle for the dreamcatcher's hoop.
2

Draw a 16-sided polygon inside the circle resembling a star.
3

Draw a smaller 16-sided polygon inside the figure made in step 2.
4

Continue this process of drawing until a very small 16-sided polygon is apparent.
5

Add detail drawings for the strings and feathers. The strings with feathers are drawn at the east end, west end, and south end of the hoop. Draw another slender string forming a hoop in the north end.
6

Erase unnecessary lines and refine the hands and eyes.
7

Refine and color the drawing as you like! Make the feathers and beads distinct in your drawing.

Article SummaryX

To draw a dreamcatcher, start by drawing a circle that will be the hoop. Next, draw a 16-sided polygon inside the circle so that the tips touch the circle you just drew. Then, draw a smaller 16-sided polygon inside the first and continue drawing polygons until you reach the center. When you can't add any more polygon shapes, add feathers hanging off the bottom of the dreamcatcher and a loop on the top. Finally, erase any unnecessary sketching lines and color in your drawing. For tips on how to make your drawing look more like a real dreamcatcher, read on!
