How To Draw A Dreamcatcher – Step by Step

Step 1: Drawing the Foundation of the Dreamcatcher

The initial step is to draw the foundation of the Dreamcatcher drawing. As seen in the image below, the foundation of your drawing is relatively easy, especially when you follow the steps below.

1. Start by drawing one big circle. Then, add another bigger circle which is a little bigger than the original one you draw earlier. After that, you need to draw a small circle at the center of the two circles you draw earlier. Make sure it is small enough to be at the center of the bigger circles. Again draw another small circle at the side of the smaller circle you draw earlier.
2. After you draw the set of bigger and smaller circles, you must divide the circle into equal parts. Start by drawing a vertical line at the center of the bigger circle. Make sure that the line passes to the center of the smaller circle. Draw a similar horizontal line that passes through the center of the smaller circles. Doing this step will divide the circle into four parts. Again, draw a line at the center of each part to divide the circle into eight different parts.
3. After dividing into eight different parts, again, draw the line at the center of each part to further divide the circle into 16 smaller parts.
4. The next step is to draw four flower petals based on the lines you have drawn earlier. Please refer to the image for your guide.

Step 2: Adding More Details to the Drawing

The next step is to add more details to enhance your drawing. This step is just the continuation of what you have done in the initial step.

5. After adding four flower petals, you can draw more petals to enhance the image. You can put the additional petals between the earlier petals you have drawn. Again, please refer to the image for your guide.
6. After adding more petals, you can still draw more petals between the previous flower petals you have drawn until such time that it is finished and will create a pattern similar to the image above.
7. The next step is to draw a hanging decoration to enhance the image of the dreamcatcher. You can make five hanging decorations, one in the center and two on each side.
8. Finish your drawing by adding feathers to the hanging decoration. Please refer to the image for your guide.
