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 big heart
Draw a big heart shape for the candy. Start at the dip in the middle top, curve out and around each side, and come down to a point at the bottom.
Step 3: The stick
Draw one long straight line going down from the bottom point of the heart. Keep it nice and steady, like a tall pole.
Step 4: The swirl
Inside the top of the heart, start in the middle with a tiny curl. Spin around and around outward, and end with a little tail.
Step 5: The sweet face
Draw two small dots for eyes in the lower part of the heart. Add a little curved smile between them.
Step 6: The bow loops
Near the middle of the stick, draw two loops like sideways teardrops. Make them touch the stick in the middle, one on each side.
Step 7: The bow tails
Under the bow, draw two short curved lines that swing outward like ribbon ends.
Step 8: A little floating heart
Draw a small heart to the left of the lollipop. Make two round bumps on top and a point at the bottom.
Step 9: Another floating heart
Draw another small heart on the right side, a little higher up. Make it a bit bigger than the first one.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a heart lollipop
- Start the big heart at the dip in the middle top, and make both sides about the same size as you bring them down to the bottom point.
- For the swirl, start in the middle with a tiny curl and spiral outward slowly. Leave room between the lines so it does not get squished.
- Draw the stick with a steady hand, then make the bow loops meet in the middle of the stick so the ribbon looks tied on.
