And you shouldn’t constantly buy postcards at retail outlets; it’s better to present those that you made yourself. How to draw a “Valentine” will be discussed in this article.
The simplest drawn “Valentines”
The easiest way is to depict a heart with hearts on a piece of cardboard; even a child can cope with this task. You can even make such a postcard using the appliqué technique.
Since you can draw a “Valentine” in a more complicated version, using, in addition to the heart, butterflies, flowers, a smiling sun or birds flying in the sky.
A smiling sun, whose rays consist of small hearts, will look lovely on a postcard. After all, love is warmth, kindness, delight and joy. This is exactly how people perceive it sunlight.
in the subject of postcards
Very often, in “Valentines” cards, the heroes of postcards are animals who give the chosen one flowers, hearts, and carry gifts and sweets. Therefore, in order to draw a “Valentine” with your own hands, sometimes you may need the skill of depicting, for example, puppies or kittens.
You can simplify the task by “putting” the animal baby in a shoe, bag or hat. Then you won’t have to draw him out completely; one cute face will be enough.
Fantasy - the first assistant of a beginning artist
Well, even if you depict the face of an animal, is it an impossible task? Then the draftsman’s imagination will come to the rescue! And you can use it quite creatively, since you can draw a “Valentine” very coolly, using in the plot as heroes the most simple living creatures to depict: octopuses, chickens, bees. Yes, and you can draw them in children's style or schematically, from the series “dot, dot, comma” or “circle, square, stick.”
Actually, the figurative meaning of “Valentines” allows for love even between worms! True, even here a creative look at the problem is needed: the “girl” worm needs to “tie” a bow to her head, and it is recommended to dress the “boy” in a bow tie, this is an important moment!
Master class “The bear gives his heart”
If the donor decides to draw a “Valentine” with a pencil, then simple step-by-step instructions will help him do this. You can use a cute little rusher as the main character. Below we will tell you how to draw a “Valentine” in stages.
"Valentine" in color
If desired, the bear toy can be painted yellow or red, nose, inner part ears, lower abdomen and feet hind legs you need to make it several tones lighter than the rest of the trample skin. The iris and pupils are formed in the eyes. They also make a reflection of light in the eyes with two unfilled circles of different diameters.
The background can be painted over with one color, or you can make it with a gradient or striped. Pink hearts look very beautiful different sizes, scattered across the background field.
Cool "Valentines"
If the artist is still thinking about how to draw a beautiful “Valentine” card creatively, to make it different from all the others, then we can recommend him the option of a postcard with a cute dinosaur in love. The fact that the dinosaur is in love is indicated by the book in his hands, the cover of which is decorated with hearts. Perhaps this is a collection of poems that the ancestor of our modern crocodiles and lizards reads to his beloved, he even opened his mouth, and his eyes glow with love!
To add more creativity, you can even make the pupils of the dinosaur in the shape of a heart, a smiling sun, gentle, fluffy clouds floating across the sky.
And if someone doesn’t like the option with an ancient lizard, then he always has a choice. A cute horse in an apple orchard, to which a bird hurries to declare its love, as evidenced by the heart in its beak. Perhaps the bird just works as a postman in their fairytale magical world? It's not that important anymore. The main thing is that in plot composition The “Valentine” style itself is maintained: there are hearts, there is a recipient - the chosen one or the lover.
However, if you can’t draw a horse, you shouldn’t be upset about it at all! Even one bird with a beak fully corresponds to the task assigned to the draftsman.
The last chord will be the inscription on the “Valentine”: “With love!”, “To you, beloved!”, “With all my heart!”, “The whole world is at your feet!” Actually, every lover knows exactly what words to express their feelings.

This lesson will show you step by step how to draw cats in love for Valentine's Day. Do everything carefully according to step by step instructions, and you definitely won’t be disappointed with the result.
Of course, as in any step by step lesson drawing, in this one we will start with the basics. Since we have two cats, we will draw two small circles at a distance from each other. Focus on this foundation and it will be much easier for you to create your sketch.
A pair of pointed ears should be depicted at the top of each circle. They can be of a different shape, for example, you can draw tassels on the tips - it all depends on your imagination. Postcards with a similar design, like Loginov's tarot cards, will be an excellent gift for Valentine's Day to a loved one or a friend.
In the center of each circle of the base you will need to draw funny faces of a cat and a kitten in love. We draw closed eyes, small noses, mouths and long mustaches. By the way, if you want to make it clear that in the picture there is a couple, and not just two cats - bosom friends, then you can show this - for example, draw long eyelashes or a bow on one cat.
The next step is drawing the cats' bodies. We won't make them too complicated, taking into account all the nuances of the anatomy of the cat family, but it's still worth being careful and consistent. Draw the following figures, which are indicated in the picture below with red lines.
Did it work? Great. Now we can add a couple of lines that will indicate where our cats' paws are.
So, we are almost finished with our drawing. Now let’s draw neat, slightly curved tails for our cats. If you want, you can draw them fluffy or, on the contrary, make them a little thinner. Let's add a romantic mood to our drawing by drawing a few neat hearts on top. You can also add congratulatory inscription, but that's up to your taste.

Stage 1. Our postcard will be in the shape of a quadrangle and follows the contour of the sheet of paper itself. First, let's make an outline - a frame for the future drawing. Using a ruler, draw along the entire sheet of paper, slightly moving away from the edge by about 2-3 cm. straight lines, which converge with their ends in two opposite corners and do not converge in the other two.
Stage 2. Now on the right side of the drawing we draw the lines of three hearts. One is the largest, another is medium sized and the third is the smallest. The hearts are located one above the other and seem to be slightly scattered to the sides.
Stage 3. The next step is to draw two more hearts. They are located in front of the first three. One of them is the largest, the other is smaller, located under it and slightly lower.
Stage 4. On the largest heart we make a beautiful inscription Love, and on top of the hearts we draw various cool curls that create a beautiful frame.
Stage 5. Now the same wavy lines, curls and various patterns we must depict in front of the lower heart, placing them to the side along the length of the sheet.
Stage 6. Draw additional curls above the group of previous ones from stage 5.
Stage 7. Draw additional curls on the other side, between the three lower hearts and above them like ponytails.
Stage 8. And now is the most pleasant and creative moment. We start coloring our congratulatory picture. We paint the hearts in red, pink, or orange colors. The background of the picture can be made pale pink. In general, you can make the background at your discretion, as you like. We highlight curls and various patterns in black and red.
