30 Easy Circle Drawing Ideas

I’ve been on a circle drawing craze, so here is a collection of 30 circle drawings I created.

For drawing circles, I personally use a roll of washi tape and trace around it with a pencil first. Afterwards, I use a pen and go over that line.

You can use any household object you have to draw your circles, like the base of a cup, plate, vase, candle, etc.

You can also use a compass to draw your circles. If you have one, this would be the best way because it creates the cleanest circle shape. You can also adjust the size of your circle as you please. Here is a highly-rated one from Amazon.

Materials Used: Sakura Pigma Micron Pens (I use this pen set from Amazon ). I bought the 8 piece set, which includes a brush. Pen sizes for the 8 piece set ranges from a 1 mm graphic pen all the way down to a 0.20 mm (005 size) pen.

A small portion of these drawings were also creating using a pen from Aliexpress.

For this drawing, as well as any of the following drawings, I recommend first creating a pencil sketch of what you are drawing.

Afterwards, go over your pencil lines with pen. I filled in the mountain with black using my pen as well.

To create the stars, I first drew little circles with a pencil. I then outlined those circles with a pen. When I filled in the background with pen, I made sure not to go into the outlined circles.

Here is another mountain drawing using a circle to try out.

I try to put a creative spin to each of these drawings, so with this one, I decided to make the ocean into space.

Adding little dots adds a different texture and dimension to your drawing so I recommend trying it out!

For this circle drawing, I drew a sleeping Totoro. This one was a little more harder and required more sketching, but once I got an idea of how I wanted to create this drawing, it became more simple.

I think it’s the most adorable drawing of the bunch! I hope you try this drawing out for yourself!

Here is a drawing of a crystal house on a hill.

Crystals may seem intimidating to draw at first, but there are simple ways to draw them.

I hope this drawing inspires you to try drawing crystals as well.

Here is a circle drawing of a moon and whale.

I at first wanted to draw a moon rising over the horizon, but the drawing needed something more, so I added a little whale beneath the moon.

I hope you enjoy! Don’t be afraid to add little details of your own and explore your imagination whenever you can!

Here is a simple campsite drawing with a mountain in the background. I had a lot of fun creating the mountain and the night sky behind it.

There is something very relaxing and satisfying about creating the night sky in these drawings. I hope you try it for yourself as well!

---

Here is a circle drawing of a rain cloud. Sometimes we have sad and gloomy days, but I hope that this drawing can remind you that beautiful things await you just behind your rain cloud.

Also, my rainbow became a little sloppy, but that’s okay.

I think pen drawings can be intimidating because of the pressure to make every line perfect. Every one of these drawings has mess-ups (some more obvious than others)… but your drawing can still be beautiful despite these slip ups.

“Not knowing what the path brings is what makes the journey worth every step.” – Shihori Obata

In the end though, no matter what experience we gain from each step we take, no matter how it ends, I want to believe that every moment is worth it.
