Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Top Chain of the Necklace

Start near the top of the page with small ovals and curved lines for the necklace links. Add a rounder connector in the middle, keeping both sides gently balanced.

Pro Tip: Keep the chain mostly level so the pendant will feel balanced later.

Step 2: Extend the Links Downward on the Right

Continue from the right end with a row of larger oval chain links. Let the links curve downward, showing how each one passes through the next.

Pro Tip: For overlapping links, decide which part sits in front before strengthening the main outline.

Step 3: Add the Curving Bottom Chain

Continue from the lower right with more oval links, forming a soft curve. Add an open link at the lower left, leaving space to close the necklace later.

Pro Tip: Let the lower links tilt slightly so the necklace looks more natural.

Step 4: Add the Left Side Links

Continue from the upper left with a group of oval links, curving the necklace downward. Connect the new links to the top chain while keeping the overlaps easy to see.

Pro Tip: Keep the left and right curves similar so the necklace feels balanced overall.

Step 5: Connect the Lower Left Chain

Add several oval links at the lower left, curving them toward the middle. Bring the new links close to the bottom center so the necklace outline is nearly closed.

Pro Tip: Avoid making the lower links too straight, as a gentle curve looks more natural.

Step 6: Add the Heart Pendant

Draw a large heart at the bottom center, hanging below the necklace. Add a small star inside the heart as the pendant’s decoration.

Pro Tip: Align the top of the heart with the necklace center so the pendant looks securely attached.

Fun Facts

Necklaces can be made from many shapes, such as circles, ovals, beads, and charms. Chain links often overlap, which makes them a great drawing for beginners to practice front-and-back details. A heart pendant is a popular symbol of kindness, friendship, and care.

Pin it now, Draw later!

Trace your finished necklace with a clean black line when you are happy with the sketch. You can color the chain silver, gold, or any bright color you like. Add soft shading inside the links and pendant to make your necklace drawing look more complete.

Take your time, enjoy each small shape, and try drawing another necklace with a different charm.
