Learn how to draw sparkling crystals with Monkey Pen’s step-by-step drawing guide and create dazzling gemstone shapes with ease.

Step 1: Create a small diamond shape for the crystal's tip.

Step 2: Include two slanting lines pointing downwards below that diamond shape.

Step 3: Make a line along the middle as well as the side edges to create the crystal.

Step 4: Create a taller crystal by putting it next to the first one with a slanting side line. With a bend at its edge.

Step 5: Then, add the pointed edge that is the top crystal with another slanting line on the opposite side, just as shown in the image.

Step 6: Draw the top angle on the crystal.

Step 7: Create a diagonal line within the top of the face that's a triangular shape.

Step 8: Draw a long inner edge across the crystal's tall side.

Step 9: Include a second long side edge to make a high crystal structure.

Step 10: Begin a new crystal from the left side with a long slanting side line.

Step 11: Incorporate another side line and the top outline.

Step 12: Draw the top of the left crystal that you have just drawn.

Step 13: Make a diagonal line in the left crystal edge.

Step 14: Draw the long central edge across the left crystal.

Step 15: Two long lines should be added behind the middle to form the taller crystal.

Step 16: Join the top by a pointed edge as shown in the image.

Step 17: Draw the lower angled face opposite to the one you have just drawn.

Step 18: Add the long line at the centre across the tallest crystal.

Step 19: Make a straight line starting from the top point through the middle inside the face of the crystal.

Step 20: A second diagonal line should be added to the left-hand side on the top.

Step 21: Create the diagonal line on top of the right side.

Step 22: Add two lines of inner length across the tallest crystal.

Step 23: Draw two small lines slanting to the bottom left to form the formation of a tiny crystal.

Step 24: Add the top and side outline of the left crystal.

Step 25: Draw the top side of the smaller left crystal.

Step 26: Add the diagonal inside and side lines to finish the left side crystal.

Step 27: Draw a zig-zag line around the crystal's bottom.

Step 28: Continue to follow the outline in a wavy format around the crystals into a large rock base.

Step 29: Make small cracks in the rock's base.

Step 30: Complete this drawing by adding detail on the rocks and removing the crystal lines. You have completed your crystal drawing!
