Small accessories make charming drawing subjects, and this tutorial shows how to draw a heart keychain featuring two hearts hanging from a single ring. The keychain has a metal ring at the top with chain links connecting to two heart-shaped charms below, one red and one pink. Drawing a heart keychain involves practicing metallic elements like the ring and chain alongside the smooth heart shapes. The two hearts overlap slightly, creating depth in the composition.
Drawing a Double Heart Keychain
Through 14 step-by-step images, this guide builds the keychain from the top ring down to the two dangling hearts. The chain links connect each heart to the main ring, and the hearts hang at slightly different heights for a natural look.

Following the Steps
Color coding helps track each step:
- Grey indicates earlier construction work
- Red shows what to add at this step
- Black marks finished portions
Begin with the circular ring at the top, then build the chain links that connect down to each heart. The hearts attach at their top points where the chain meets them. When you draw a heart keychain, pay attention to how the chain links interlock. One heart sits slightly in front of the other, so the pink heart overlaps the red one at the bottom. Sketch lightly in pencil through all steps, ink when satisfied, then erase. Use metallic gray for the ring and chains, deep red for one heart, and soft pink for the other with white highlight spots on both.
