This is the stage for your circus, so figure out what angel you want your drawing to be from, outline the main ring, the crowd, and the tent itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn17.picsart.com\/77138172829.png\" alt=\"how to draw circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_3_Roughly_Outline_Performance\">Step 3: Roughly Outline Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>In a higher outline outline the scene of your performance. Figure out what kind of performance you want, whether it&rsquo;s a trapeze act or animal show, and use this opportunity to map it out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn13.picsart.com\/39617358744.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_4_Draw_Final_Outline\">Step 4: Draw Final Outline<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Reduce the opacity of your outlines, and add a new layer. Draw a more precise outline. Draw clean lines, formulate the shapes of the objects and people, and add details. Repeat the process when done for an even more precise final outline, and delete all previous outlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn16.picsart.com\/62987357146.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn16.picsart.com\/62369910017.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn17.picsart.com\/73482820825.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_5_Color_Your_Drawing\">Step 5: Color Your Drawing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Add new layers in which to color your drawing. Give yourself some freedom by coloring different sets of objects in different layers, for example saving one layer for just your background, one for only people, and another for props. Merge layers when done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn16.picsart.com\/62288362570.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Step_6_Add_Lighting_Shading\">Step 6: Add Lighting &amp; Shading<\/span><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span>Add new layers to add lighting and shading. You can either designate different layers for different objects, or use some for lighting and others for shading. Use translucent or spray brushes to add darker and lighter tones based on the direction of your light source.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn14.picsart.com\/43507318770.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn17.picsart.com\/76987189589.png\" alt=\"how to draw a circus step by step\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we are holding a <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.picsart.com\/post\/set-up-a-tent-and-put-on-a-show-in-the-circus-drawing-challenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Circus Drawing Challenge<\/a>, in which users must use PicsArt Drawing tools to draw different scenes from the circus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","faq_show":false,"faq_enable_schema":false,"how_to_show":false,"how_to_show_on_single":false,"how_to_enable_schema":false,"how_to_is_upload":false,"faq_title":"","how_to_title":"","how_to_layout":"","how_to_cta_text":"","how_to_cta_url":"","how_to_image_alt":"","how_to_display_image":0,"faq_items":[],"how_to_steps":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1669],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiration","entry"],"acf":{"faq_show":false,"faq_title":"Frequently asked questions","faq_enable_schema":true,"faq_items":null,"how_to_show":false,"how_to_show_on_single":false,"how_to_title":"","how_to_layout":"default","how_to_steps":null,"how_to_enable_schema":true,"how_to_is_upload":true,"how_to_cta_text":"","how_to_cta_url":"https:\/\/picsart.com\/create\/editor","how_to_display_image":null,"how_to_image_alt":"","footer_banner_name":"Start your design in Picsart","footer_banner_link_":"\/","footer_banner_button_text_":"Get Started"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
