How to draw a crown - a free crown drawing guide

What can we use if we don't have a black marker or colored pencils?

Use a dark ballpoint pen, a black crayon, or a thin permanent marker to trace the outline instead of the black marker, and substitute washable markers, watercolors, or crayons for the coloring materials.

My three curved points look uneven or my shading smudges when I erase—how can I fix that?

Sketch the three large curved points lightly with your pencil and keep the base straight with a ruler, shade very softly under each gem, let any marker ink fully dry before erasing extra pencil lines, and erase gently as instructed to avoid smudges.

How can I adapt this crown drawing for younger or older kids?

For younger kids simplify by drawing one or two big curved points and bold gem shapes to color, while older kids can add more tiny circles, stars, zigzags inside the decorative band, more detailed gem shapes, and finer pencil shading as in the steps.

How can we extend or personalize the finished crown?

After coloring and leaving the tiny white highlights on each gem, cut out the traced crown outline and glue it to a cardstock strip to wear, or decorate gems with stickers, glitter, or metallic markers for extra sparkle before sharing on DIY.org.
