Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Top Curve of the Pokeball

Start on the left and draw a wide upward curve. Let the line move smoothly over the top and come down on the right, forming the upper half of the Pokeball.

Pro Tip: Keep both ends at a similar height so the Pokeball looks balanced.

Step 2: Complete the Outer Circle

Continue the curve downward from both side ends, letting the lines meet at the bottom. This turns the Pokeball outline into one complete large circle.

Pro Tip: Round the bottom curve gently so the circle does not become too pointed.

Step 3: Add the Middle Line and Button Arc

Draw a horizontal line across the middle to divide the Pokeball into two halves. At the center, curve upward into a small half-circle to leave space for the button.

Pro Tip: Keep the horizontal line through the circle’s center so the button feels steady.

Step 4: Complete the Button Ring and Lower Divider

Continue the curve below the center button to make the outer button ring complete. Then draw a second horizontal line outward from both sides, forming the Pokeball’s middle band.

Pro Tip: Keep the two horizontal lines parallel so the middle band looks neat.

Step 5: Draw the Inner Button Circle

Draw a smaller circle inside the center button. Keep this inner circle centered within the outer ring to add depth to the Pokeball button.

Pro Tip: Leave an even gap around the inner circle so the button looks round and tidy.

Step 6: Make the Button Center Smaller

Refine the middle of the button into a smaller center circle. This makes the surrounding rings clearer and gives the Pokeball button more depth.

Pro Tip: Place the small circle in the exact center and keep the surrounding ring width even.

Fun Facts

A Pokeball has a very simple design, but its symmetry makes it fun to draw. The large circle, straight band, and round button create a clear shape that beginners can practice with confidence.

The center button is the most important detail. When it is placed neatly, the whole Pokeball drawing looks more finished.

Pin it now, Draw later!

Now you know how to draw Pokeball with a simple step by step drawing method. Trace your final lines with a black marker, then color the top half red and leave the bottom half white.

Keep practicing this drawing for beginners, and try making the circle smoother each time. You can also add shading or a small shine mark to make your Pokeball look polished.
