At first glance, learning how to draw a balloon as a tutorial might seem like one is hardly needed. That, however would be overlooking the small details that sometimes make drawings special. These balloons have the very real-looking little tied ends, a shiny reflection spot, and are in a layered bunch to give them more depth.

The first rubber balloons were made by Michael Faraday in 1824, for use in the laboratory. Before long, they were being used for communication in the military, scientific experiments, and transportation. Today’s balloons come in all shapes and sizes, but the classic ones are still the brightly colored ovals, filled with helium so they float about in a kind of magical way.

However students chooses to color their balloons in, encourage them to do it well. These were colored with everyday crayons, but lots of care was taken to fill them. Those little shiny white spots will not have nearly the impact if they are in the middle of say, some scribbly color. Pressing hard to get some solid pigment, both inside the balloon and out, will always pay off.
