How to Draw the Poop Emoji

Fastest shortcut: copy a 💩 emoji into your drawing app, lower the opacity, and trace the main swirl. That gives you the correct proportions in seconds.

If you want the clean hand-drawn version, here’s a simple method that works in Procreate, Sketchbook, Canva, or any layer-based app.

How to Draw the Poop Emoji in Procreate

1. Draw the base shape. Sketch a small rounded mound at the bottom. Keep it wider than it is tall.

2. Build the swirl upward. Add a soft, continuous spiral on top, like a stacked soft-serve cone. The top should be rounded, not pointy.

3. Smooth the outline. Make the edges slightly wavy and organic. The poop emoji looks best when it feels soft and cartoonish.

4. Add the face. Draw two tiny oval eyes and a small smiling mouth. Keep the expression simple and friendly.

5. Fill with brown. Use a warm medium-brown base color. Add a slightly darker brown under the folds for depth.

6. Shade the curves. Place a highlight along one side and a shadow on the opposite side so the swirl looks rounded.

7. Refine the finish. Clean up any sharp corners and thicken the outline if you want a more sticker-like look.

Easy Shape Formula

If freehand drawing feels hard, think of the poop emoji as:

• 1 rounded mound at the bottom
• 2 to 3 soft swirls stacked on top
• 2 dot eyes
• 1 tiny smile

That’s the whole structure. Once you have the silhouette, the emoji is instantly recognizable.

Fallback Copy-Paste Method

If you just need a reference fast, copy this emoji into your notes or design file:

💩

Then either:

• trace it directly on a new layer,
• use it as a proportions guide,
• or keep it beside your sketch while you draw.

If your app supports stickers or text layers, you can also paste the emoji, reduce the opacity, and draw over it.

Troubleshooting

The emoji picker is missing

If your app does not show an emoji picker, try:

• pasting 💩 directly from a browser,
• searching for "pile of poo" in the system emoji search,
• or using a reference image instead of a live emoji.

The emoji is unsupported

Some older apps or devices may not render the emoji properly. In that case:

• update the app,
• switch to a font that supports emoji,
• or insert a screenshot of the emoji and trace that.

The poop emoji looks different on my device

That’s normal. Apple, Google, Samsung, and other platforms use slightly different emoji styles. If you want a consistent result, draw your own version instead of relying on the built-in emoji design.

Best-Practice Usage Notes

• Keep the shape round and soft, not too detailed.
• Use a simple face so it stays readable at small sizes.
• Make the shadow subtle; too much shading can make it look muddy.
• If you’re using it in a chat, meme, or sticker pack, match the style to the rest of your design.
• For professional or school settings, use it carefully and make sure the tone is playful, not distracting.

FAQ

How do you draw the poop emoji easily?

Start with a rounded base, stack a few soft swirls on top, and finish with two dot eyes and a small smile. Tracing a copied 💩 emoji first makes it even easier.

What color should the poop emoji be?

A warm medium brown works best. Add a slightly darker brown for shadows and a small highlight to make the swirl look dimensional.

Why does my poop emoji look different from someone else’s?

Emoji styles vary by device and platform. Apple, Android, Windows, and others all draw emojis a little differently, so your hand-drawn version may be the most consistent choice.
