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: The round sun
Draw a big circle in the middle of your paper. This is the sun's face, so make it nice and round and leave room all the way around for the rays.
Step 3: Sunglasses
Inside the circle, draw two big rounded squares side by side, touching in the middle. These are the two lenses of the sunglasses.
Step 4: Smile and top, bottom rays
Draw a happy curved smile under the sunglasses. Then draw a tall pointy triangle straight up from the top of the circle and another straight down from the bottom, with the two sides of each meeting at a sharp tip.
Step 5: Arms, shines, long rays
Draw a short line from each lens out to the edge of the circle for the sunglasses' arms, and a tiny curved shine inside the top of each lens. Then add four long triangle rays pointing toward the corners of the page, two on the left and two on the right.
Step 6: Small rays
Fit four small triangle rays near the top and bottom of the circle, one on each side of the top ray and one on each side of the bottom ray. Make them shorter and stubbier than the long ones.
Step 7: Side rays
Finish with one small triangle on the left and one on the right, starting at the ends of the sunglasses' arms. Draw them like little arrows pointing straight out from the circle.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a sun wearing sunglasses
- Draw the circle first and lightly, then place the glasses in the middle of it so the sun's face stays centered.
- The two lenses should be about the same size. Start with one, then draw the other right next to it so they touch in the middle.
- For the rays, start each triangle on the circle and aim the tip straight away from the center. Long and short rays take turns around the circle, which keeps them looking even.
