To draw a soccer ball, follow these step-by-step instructions:

  1. Draw a circle to form the ball's outline.
  2. In the center of the circle, draw a tilted pentagon (a five-sided shape).
  3. From each point of the pentagon, draw lines extending outward to the edges of the circle.
  4. Complete one pentagon shape connected to these extending lines.
  5. Repeat creating adjacent pentagons around the center one.
  6. Fill the ball pattern with these pentagons, connecting edges appropriately.
  7. Trace over your lines with a darker pen or marker.
  8. Color the pentagons black, and optionally add light gray shading on seams to give a padded look.

This method captures the classic soccer ball pattern made of pentagons and hexagons, starting from the center and working outward.
