Let's draw a comic sun with sunglasses
Treat this as one playful practice round: sketch the idea loosely, simplify the shapes, then commit with confident marker outlines and bright fills.

01
Draw the sun circle
Use a light construction pass to draw one large centered sun circle.
Doodle tip: Ghost the circle several times before committing. Let it stay a touch handmade instead of chasing a perfectly mechanical loop.
-
02
Radiate the rays
Add an even ring of alternating straight and triangular rays around the established circle, giving the triangular rays orange marker accents.
Doodle tip: Work around the circle in opposite pairs. That quick habit keeps the rays feeling balanced without measuring every gap.

03
Drop in the shades
Draw and black-fill two oversized sunglasses lenses, their bridge, and short arms across the existing sun circle.
Doodle tip: Pull each lens outline in one confident pass, then fill inward. The glasses should hide the eyes completely so the simple mouth can carry the expression.

04
Add the small smile
Place one short relaxed curved smile below the established sunglasses.
Doodle tip: Keep the mouth small and low. Leaving lots of open yellow space stops the face from becoming crowded.
-
05
Fill the summer color
Fill the existing sun circle yellow and add a small teal shadow under it.
Doodle tip: Follow the curve of the sun with your marker strokes and let a little texture show. Smooth-but-not-perfect fill feels more alive than a solid digital block.

06
Let the sun shine
Reinforce the existing outlines, tidy the yellow, orange, teal, and black fills, and add tiny white highlights to the already drawn sunglasses.
Doodle tip: Stop before adding clouds, words, or a border. The ray pattern, shades, and small smile already make a clear comic character.
