Draw Two Circles
We are starting by drawing a rough sketch of lord Ganesh. Draw a full circle and another circle joining to the first one roughly as shown in the image above. We are using the pencil to draw the rough part as we will erase it in the future.
Draw Two Ovals
As Ganesh Ji has long flat ears like an elephant, draw two ovals on the left and right sides roughly as shown in the image above. We are using the pencil to draw the rough part as we will erase it in the future.
Draw Ganesha Crown
Now draw a curve line at the top to draw the crown of lord Ganesha fairly as in the image above. Use the reference lines or rough lines that we drew in step 1. For drawing fairly you can use a pen or marker. We are using a black marker for drawing a fair part and drawing an outline with a black marker is perfect for giving a realistic look.
Draw Crown Top
Similarly, draw two more curves fairly and draw an intersection shape at the center as in the image above. Here we draw a curve on the right side and left side making an intersection line at the center. Also, draw two lines for making Ganesha face as in the image above.
Draw Lord Ganesha Ears
As we are drawing lord Ganesha face, draw curvey and large ears like an elephant using the rough lines that we draw earlier on step 2 as in the image above. Here make sure you use the reference lines that we drew earlier.
Complete Ganesh Crown
Now draw a flower shape on the crown to complete the drawing of lord Ganesha crown as in the image above.
Draw Ganesha Trunk and Tusk

Erase Rough Part

Draw Texture

Colouring Lord Ganesh
After the drawing of Lord Ganesh is completed we move forward with coloring the Ganesha. For coloring, we had chosen some basic colors.
We use yellow color for the crown of lord Ganesh. Then use dark orange on the crown of the Ganapati. Then we fill light pink all over the Ganesha body. We colored brown for the hair. After that, we colored red on the tika, crown, and belt. We colored orange to dhoti and bracelet on hand. Then for the shoes, we colored a light red. You can fill the color according to our wish too.
