It’s time to add the gigantic ring that surrounds the planet in this step of our guide on how to draw Saturn!
How to Draw Saturn – A Step by Step Guide
In our solar system, there are eight planets, (nine if you include Pluto,) and each one is very different from the last.
Saturn is one of the most unique of them all, as it is not only the second-largest but also has a huge ring surrounding it.
This has generated a lot of intrigue around this planet, and the visual distinction means that many like to learn how to draw Saturn.
By the end of this guide, you will know how to do it yourself!
This step-by-step guide on how to draw Saturn will have you recreating this gas giant in no time.
How to Draw Saturn – Let’s get Started!
In this first step of our guide on how to draw Saturn, we will be starting with a simple. As you can see in the reference image, it won’t be a perfect circle, however.
There will be a small gap left on each side of the circle, and this is where the ring will be going later.
Drawing circles freehand can be a challenge, so to make things easier you can use a drawing tool such as a compass.
This simple tool makes it effortless to draw a circle with your pen or pencil. Just remember to leave those spaces if you use a compass, and then you’re ready to proceed!
Step 2 – Draw some details for Saturn
We will be adding some details to the planet for this step of your Saturn drawing. In real life, Saturn is made up primarily of masses of swirling gasses surrounding a presumable solid core, so we will try to replicate this gaseous look for the planet.
You can do this by drawing some curved lines going across the planet’s surface, as shown in the reference picture.
We will just be doing the top of the planet for now, but we will add more of these details to it later. Once you’re happy with how it looks for now, you’re ready to move on to step 3.
