Time Needed: 20 minutes
-
First Draw A White Dwarf
Start by drawing a tiny circle to represent the white dwarf, a small, dense star with a dim glow. Add short, curved lines around the circle to emphasize the energy being emitted by the star.
-
Next Add A Neutron Star
Next, draw a slightly bigger circle to form the neutron star, a super dense star with a strong magnetic field. Draw curved lines surrounding the circle to represent the magnetic field and energy emitted by the star. Add some texture to the surface of the neutron star by drawing dots and wavy lines.
-
Now Form A Red Giant
Now, outline the large, circular shape of the big, old star known as a red giant. Add its pointy, curved rays. Draw curved lines following the shape of the rays. Then, add wavy lines on the surface of the star to give it a textured appearance.
-
Draw A Blue Supergiant
Draw a bigger circle to outline the massive star known as a blue supergiant. Form its rays by drawing a wavy, pointed shape around the circle. Add short, curved lines following the shape of the star’s rays. Then, draw dots and wavy lines to add some texture to the blue supergiant.
-
Then Form A Blackhole
Form the small, circular outline of the blackhole, a star that has finished using up all its fuel and has a very strong gravitational pull. Draw curved lines extending outwards the circle to form the matter spiraling into the blackhole called the accretion disk.
-
Complete The Stars Drawing
To complete our drawing of the stars, let’s add some colors! For the white dwarf, use light shades of gray. For the neutron star, use dull shades of pink and purple. For the red giant, use vibrant shades of red and orange. For the blue supergiant, use vibrant shades of blue. For the blackhole, use a black crayon and color the accretion disk around it with purple, orange and yellow.
