The Ultimate Guide to All 78 Shapes
From the humble circle to the complex nonagon, explore the vast library of shapes available to draw.
Did you know there are 78 different shapes you can practice on Draw the Perfect Shape? While most people stick to the basics, exploring our full library is a great way to challenge your spatial reasoning.
Basic Shapes (The Foundation)
These are your bread and butter. Mastering these is essential before moving on:
- Circle
- Square
- Triangle
- Rectangle
Polygons
Polygons test your ability to maintain consistent angles and side lengths:
- Pentagon (5 sides)
- Hexagon (6 sides)
- Heptagon (7 sides)
- Octagon (8 sides)
- Nonagon (9 sides)
- Decagon (10 sides)
Tip for Polygons: Try to mentally map out the vertices before you start drawing. Connecting imaginary dots is easier than freehanding the angles on the fly.
Curves and Complex Shapes
These shapes require fluid motion and changing curvature:
- Ellipse / Oval
- Heart
- Star
- Crescent
- Teardrop
The star is notoriously difficult because it requires sharp directional changes combined with perfectly equal segment lengths.
