3D glasses are fun to draw because they look silly and cool at the same time. They are built from two big round lens rings, a little bridge in the middle, and a chunky block on each side. This pair also has a small star at the upper right.

Step 1: Top of left lens
Start on the left and draw a short, gentle arch that curves up and then slightly down, like the top of a rainbow. This is the first part of the left lens.
Step 2: Rest of left lens
Start at the right end of the arch and draw a curve that goes straight down, swings around the bottom like a bowl, and comes up on the left. Now the left lens is a round ring with a small gap at the top left.
Step 3: The nose bridge
At the top right of the left lens, draw a short, thick bar going to the right, like a little bridge. It will connect to the right lens.
Step 4: Right lens side and bottom
Start at the end of the bridge and draw a curve that goes down, swings around the bottom like a bowl, and curves up on the right. Make it about the same size as the left lens.
Step 5: Right lens top and star
Start at the bridge and draw an arch over the right lens, ending near the upper right. Then draw a small five-pointed star outline joined to the end of the arch.
Step 6: Left side piece
At the far left, draw a chunky block with rounded corners, like a squished square. It fills the gap between the arch and the bottom curve of the left lens.
Step 7: Right side piece
Do the same on the far right: draw a chunky rounded block that fills the gap between the arch and the bottom curve of the right lens. Make it match the left side.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a pair of 3D glasses
- Draw both lens rings about the same size. The bridge should sit right in the middle between them.
- The star is the trickiest part. Start with one point at the top, then zigzag down and back up to make the other four points. Keep it small.
- Make the frame lines thick and bold. Press a little harder with your pencil, or go over each line a second time.

How to color your pair of 3D glasses drawing
Color the left lens red and the right lens blue or cyan for the classic 3D look, and make the frame black or bright yellow. Color the star gold, or use rainbow stripes.
Pair of 3D glasses fun fact for kids
Classic 3D glasses often have one red lens and one cyan (blue-green) lens. Each eye sees a slightly different picture, and your brain combines them so the image seems to pop out of the screen.
Questions about drawing a pair of 3D glasses
What shapes do I need to draw 3D glasses?
You need two big circles or ovals for the lenses, a short thick bar for the bridge, and two chunky rounded blocks for the sides. The five-pointed star is a fun extra.
How do I make my 3D glasses look the same on both sides?
Draw the right lens about the same size as the left one, and keep the bridge in the middle between them. Then make the two side blocks the same size.
How do I make my 3D glasses look cooler?
Make the frame thick and bold, and color each lens a different color. You can also color the star gold or give it rainbow stripes.
