How to Draw Broken Heart

Simple steps to draw broken heart, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Start with two curved lines that form the classic heart shape. Draw them like upside-down 'J' shapes that meet at the bottom in a point—you're building the outline before you break it.
2 Add the crack by drawing a jagged line from the top of the heart down to the bottom point. Use short, straight lines with sharp angles to make it look properly broken, not just gently cracked.
3 Draw a matching jagged line right next to the first one to show the other side of the break. Try to mirror the shape so the two halves would fit back together if you pushed them.
4 Offset the two halves slightly if you want to show separation, or leave a small gap at the top to emphasise the split. This is where you decide how shattered your broken heart drawing looks.
5 If you fancy extra drama, add small cracks branching off the main break, or try drawing your broken heart in Artbitrator and watch the AI judge guess what you're creating in real time.

Tip: Make the jagged crack look natural by varying the size and angle of each zig—perfectly uniform breaks look a bit robotic.

Drawing Tips

Keep the two halves of the heart symmetrical before you add the break, so the crack looks deliberate rather than wonky.
You can add tears, bandages, or smaller cracks to give your simple broken heart drawing more personality and emotion.
Red is the classic choice, but blues and greys work brilliantly if you want to capture a sadder, more melancholy vibe.

Broken Heart Drawing FAQ

How do you draw a broken heart?

Draw a basic heart shape with two curved lines meeting at a point, then add a jagged line down the centre to show the crack. Mirror that jagged line to create the other side of the break, and you've got yourself a broken heart. It's all about those sharp, uneven edges.

Is it hard to draw a broken heart?

Not at all. If you can draw a regular heart, you can draw a broken one—the crack is just a zigzag line down the middle. The trickiest bit is making the two jagged edges match up so they look like they'd fit back together, but even that's pretty forgiving.

Where can I practise drawing broken hearts and get feedback?

Head to Artbitrator and draw a broken heart while the AI judges your work in real time. You can also watch replays of all 84 example drawings on this page to see exactly how other players tackled the same prompt, stroke by stroke.
