A broken heart is a symbol of lost love. The metaphor of extreme emotional stress and lost love is used not only in dialogues between people, but also in songs, films, books. You can draw a broken heart with both a pencil and paints. Simple algorithms will help novice artists and children learn the basics of drawing.
Heart broken in half
A broken or shattered heart has many variations of drawing. Often the figure is used as an illustration or cover for books, musical compositions.
How to draw a broken heart:
- On a clean sheet of paper, draw a rectangle using a ruler. The height of the figure should be slightly less than its width.
- Using a ruler, measure the middle of each side and make a mark.
- Divide the upper boundary into quarters.
- The upper half of the side edges is also divided into 2 parts.
- To get the perfect heart shape, you can use a ruler. To make the drawing more lively, measure the middles of the segments by eye.
- Connect the dots as shown in the picture. The result should be a neat, unfinished oval.
- Repeat the action with the other side of the drawing. Connect the ends of the semi-ovals to each other to get a full heart.
- Use an eraser to erase all unnecessary details.
- Divide the heart into 2 parts using zigzag lines. You can use a ruler to draw it.
- Use a hard pencil or marker to duplicate all the lines of the drawing.
The finished drawing can be colored with paints or pencils.
Broken Heart with Sensors
An unusual option is a broken heart that can be treated. For work you will need a clean sheet of paper, an eraser, a sharpener and several pencils of different hardness. If desired, you can use album or notebook paper, you can replace the eraser with a kneaded eraser.
Step-by-step process of completing the work:
- On a clean sheet of paper, draw the correct shape of the heart.
- To draw, you can use the life hack from the first step-by-step algorithm. This way, the heart will turn out even and beautiful.
- Visually "divide" the heart into 2 figures. This will create an outer and an outer heart.
- Fill the outer part with chaotic movements. The lines should be curved, long and intersect each other.
- The exact number of lines depends on the thickness of the pencil lead and the size of the heart. It is enough to focus on the proposed image to get a similar effect.
- Separate the right part of the heart from the main shape with an uneven, curved section. You can simplify the task by drawing a zigzag line, the corners of which need to be smoothed out.
- Along the entire length of the resulting chip, draw cross-shaped and straight lines. They will form a seam that connects the 2 parts of the broken heart.
- Draw small oval shapes over the entire area of the heart. Also add several rings of any shape inside each oval.
- From the middle of each of the resulting ovals, draw long curved lines, as shown in the picture.
- Under the lines, on the main shape, it is also necessary to draw similar segments of lesser intensity, which will form shadows.
The resulting image can be detailed: add a few scars, draw shadows over the area of the heart, and also mark the places where the light falls.
Glued Broken Heart
A broken heart is a symbol of emotional trauma and lost love. To draw the image, you will need pencils of different softness, a ruler, an eraser, a sharpener and a clean sheet of paper.
Step by step process:
- Draw a long curved line that resembles a hook.
- The heart can be drawn in any position, at different angles.
- Draw an additional line that mirrors the first one. This way you can get the perfect heart shape.
- If desired, the heart can be made asymmetrical. One side can be larger or smaller.
- Draw a visual line in the middle of the figure. At the top point, erase a small segment with an eraser.
- Connect the beginning and end of the left side of the heart with a zigzag line. The more bends the segment has, the more complex and colorful the drawing.
- Draw a similar line from the right side of the heart. The segments should correspond to the previously drawn line.
- The ends of the lines should connect at the bottom of the drawing.
- In the middle of the resulting heart, draw 2 parallel lines at an angle.
- On both sides, connect the ends of the segments with arcuate lines. This way you can get the "base" of the bandage.
- Draw 2 perpendicular lines inside the bandage.
- In the resulting rectangle, draw 5 circles of small diameter.
- Add detail to the design. Add chip lines along the edges of the heart.
- Add drops to the sides of the design.
The resulting drawing can be colored or left as is. You can add wings, scars or wounds to the finished image.
Broken Heart Emoji
Emoji is an interactive tool for online communication. Emoticons allow you to express emotions depending on your mood and feelings. One of the popular emoji is a broken red heart.
How to draw a broken heart:
| Stage | Description of the stage | What you will need |
| 1 | On a clean sheet of paper, draw the basis for the message - a neat circle. On the left side of the circle, draw a small inverted triangle. | White sheet of paper, compass, ruler, soft pencil. |
| 2 | Use a pencil with a hard lead to make the shape more irregular. The lines should be slightly wavy. Erase the border between the circle and the triangle – the figures should form a “message cloud”. | Hard pencil, eraser, sharpener. |
| 3 | In the middle of the drawn circle, draw the correct shape of the heart. To get a more "live" picture, you can make the figure irregular, located higher or lower. | Soft pencil, eraser, sharpener. |
| 4 | In the area of the V-shaped bend, use an eraser to remove a small “piece” of the heart. | Eraser, drawing. |
| 5 | Draw zigzag lines from the resulting top point. Duplicate the segments on the right side of the drawing. | Ruler, eraser, soft pencil. |
| 6 | Duplicate all lines with a hard pencil. Use an eraser to remove all unnecessary details. | Eraser, ruler, pencil with a hard lead, sharpener. |
The resulting image can be colored. The drawing can be used when drawing sketches or comics.
Broken Heart with Arrow
A simple and quick version of the drawing is a broken heart pierced by an arrow. The image can become a symbol of lost love, emotional wounds and experiences.
How to draw a broken heart:
- On a clean sheet of paper, use a soft-tip pencil to draw the outline of a heart. The right side of the figure should be slightly larger than the left.
- The shape can be any, arbitrary – depending on preferences and artistic concept.
- Visually draw a curved line connecting the V-shaped top of the heart and the bottom.
- Using a pencil with a hard lead, draw cross-shaped lines that form a seam. The elements can be of different sizes and angles, slightly sloppy.
- From the visually marked line, draw several zigzag lines that will form cracks on the surface of the heart. The lines should be directed in different directions and have different lengths.
- At the top of the right side of the heart, closer to the middle, make a small rectangular patch.
- Draw the border of the patch with a hard pencil.
- One of the previously drawn cracks can be detailed by “gluing” it with a plaster.
- To do this, you will need to draw several rectangles of different sizes. Round off the corners of the figures.
- Each rectangle is visually divided into 3 parts. The middle part is separated by straight parallel lines.
- From the lower border of the heart, where the lines connect, draw a teardrop-shaped figure.
- At the top of the heart, on the right side, add a thick, clear line and draw the arrow feathers.
- The shaft of the arrow should "pierce" the heart, so at the junction of the arrow and the heart, it is necessary to add several curved lines that form a notch. This will give the drawing volume.
- Visually draw a line and mark the point where the arrow should presumably “exit”.
- Draw a small piece of the shaft from the designated area and add a tip. The tip is shaped like a triangle with an irregular side.
- There should also be a small drop running down the end of the arrow.
The resulting drawing can be shaded or left unchanged.
Broken heart in outline style
Contour drawing is a technique that is actively used in artistic practice. Artists use lines to create the outlines of an object. The resulting image can be detailed and diluted with various elements - depending on preferences.
How to draw a broken heart in outline style:
- On a clean sheet of paper, draw the correct shape of the heart. Using a soft pencil, draw a V-shaped line resembling a bird and connect it with an acute angle.
- On the right side of the drawing, draw a small, slightly curved segment – as shown in the example image.
- At the end of the drawn line, draw a figure that resembles a drop.
- From the drawn segment, draw several long lines directed upwards. The lines form the shaft of the arrow.
- Draw several rectangles at the end of the shaft – they form the fletching of the arrow.
- On the left side of the heart, add lines reminiscent of the root system of a plant or chips in glass.
- The direction, length and branching of lines can be any.
- Draw a few drops at the bottom of the heart, as shown in the picture.
Contour images are quite simple and clear due to their low level of detail and minimal number of elements.
Complicated Broken Heart
A more complex and detailed drawing of a broken heart, which is suitable for beginners to practice. The process will require several pencils of different hardness, a ruler, an eraser or kneaded eraser, and a sharpener.
Algorithm:
- Draw a heart shape on a clean sheet of paper. To do this, draw a rectangle and divide its edges into several parts. By connecting the reference points, you can get a neat shape.
- Use the eraser to remove unnecessary elements. Also erase the V-shaped notch on the top of the heart.
- This resulted in 2 unfinished lines.
- From the free section of the left side, draw zigzag lines connecting the top and bottom of the heart – as shown in the picture.
- Draw a similar line from the right side of the heart so that they form a “lightning” shape and connect at the bottom of the image.
- Using a hard lead pencil, draw the basic shape of the heart and make the boundaries between the broken sections clearer.
- Use an eraser or a kneaded eraser to remove unnecessary elements and prepare the drawing for further detailing.
- Draw lines across the entire area of the heart, forming small splits. The segments should be long and cover most of the heart shape. The approximate location of the splits is shown in the figure.
- Small chips need to be detailed - draw cross-shaped and straight seams along the perimeter of the resulting splits.
- The central split is “connected” with staples: 2 halves of the heart are connected with rectangles of different sizes and directions. The corners of each rectangle are slightly rounded, unnecessary elements are removed with an eraser.
- Draw vertical lines parallel to each other inside each rectangle.
- In places where the staples and the heart connect, add “seals” – irregular ovals – as shown in the picture. The lines should be clear and bold.
- From the drawn ovals, draw small cracks in a chaotic order.
The resulting images can be colored or shaded.
Heart Broken into Pieces
A broken heart can be depicted in a more detailed and complex way. To draw it, you will need a little patience, several pencils of different hardness, an eraser, a ruler and a sharpener, as well as a sheet of white quality paper. The final result depends on the density and quality of the paper. The material should retain its shape regardless of the pressure of the pencils and the number of erasers.
Step-by-step process of completing the work:
- Draw a heart on a clean sheet of paper. The shape should be slightly elongated in width, with regular, rounded upper edges.
- Extend the upper border of the left side of the heart using a straight short line. The segment should form an angle, create a small break.
- Using zigzag lines, form the base of the split heart. The approximate location of the corners is shown in the picture.
- You can use a ruler to create clear lines, or draw the lines by hand for a smoother effect.
- Add a few cracks around the perimeter of the destroyed heart.
- Below the previously drawn border, draw a small piece of the broken off heart.
- Draw several fragments of different sizes and shapes under the main figure.
- In places where the split part of the heart touches the main shape, add shaded areas – as shown in the picture.
- The shadow areas should be smooth and soft to “connect” the chips with the base lines.
- Use an eraser or a kneaded eraser to remove unnecessary details.
- Use a pencil with a hard lead to draw the resulting elements. The intensity of the color of the cracks and main figures can be adjusted depending on their depth and your own idea.
The resulting image can be diluted with various scars, staples, stitches. Also, if desired, you can draw drops of blood, arrows or other elements.
Simple broken heart
You can depict a broken heart in different variations. It is not necessary to divide the figure in half - it is enough to "chip off" small pieces.
To complete the drawing you will need a basic set:
- ruler;
- soft lead pencil;
- eraser or kneaded paper;
- notebook or album sheet;
- hard pencil;
- sharpener.
To do the job, you can use the algorithms and life hacks described in the previous step-by-step instructions. If desired, you can add some scars, drops of blood or other additional elements.
A broken heart can be drawn with a simple pencil, paints, or felt-tip pens. A black-and-white slate image better conveys the meaning of the drawing: emptiness, devastation, grayness. To draw, you will need simple pencils, sheets of white paper, a ruler, a sharpener, and an eraser.
