Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Two big circles
Draw a large circle near the bottom left. Then draw a second, smaller circle beside it, a little higher, so the two overlap on one side like a pair of balloons.
Step 3: The folded ribbon
Draw a curved strip that rests across the top of the left circle and tucks over the right one. Give it a bent top edge, a short side on the left, and a small four-sided flap where it crosses the second circle.
Step 4: The twirly streamer
Above the circles, draw a wide strip that starts as a slanted rectangle end and curves down in a big swoop. Where it bends, add a small fold, then let the end wiggle down in an S shape toward the circles.
Step 5: Long flat ribbon
On the left, draw a long, gently curved strip like a bendy rectangle. Make the top and bottom lines curve the same way.
Step 6: Tilted paper piece
On the upper right, draw a tilted rectangle with slightly curved sides, like a small piece of paper floating down.
Step 7: Round dots
Draw one medium circle near the top and one tiny circle on the left. Take your time to make them nice and round.
Step 8: Sparkle stars
Draw a diamond shape with four pointy tips, then curve the sides inward to make a sparkle. Make one near the top right and a smaller one at the lower left.
Step 9: The little curl
On the right, draw a small loop like a bubble. Then add a wavy tail that crosses through the loop and trails down to the left.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing confetti falling
- Start with the two big circles and let them overlap. Draw the first one lightly, then draw the second so it passes behind it.
- The folded ribbon is the trickiest part. Draw it as a simple curved strip first, then add the small flap where it crosses the circle.
- For the sparkles, draw a plus sign with light lines, then connect the tips with curved lines that bend inward.
