How to Draw a Beekeeper
Draw a beekeeper in 13 steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper, in the middle, draw an egg head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave most of the page below for the body and legs.
Step 2: The face
In the middle of the head draw 2 big round eyes with a shine. Add a tiny nose and smile.
Step 3: Brimmed hat
Draw a long oval brim across the head. Start on the brim left and draw a crown, ending right.
Step 4: Neck and bee suit
Start under the chin with 2 neck lines. Draw a suit down to a hem below the hips.
Step 5: Veil
Start at each end of the brim. Draw a veil line down to the shoulder. Join them under the chin.
Step 6: Long sleeves
Start at the left sleeve and bend an arm across the tummy, ending at the wrist. Hang the right arm.
Step 7: Hands
On the left wrist draw a fist with a thumb on top. On the right draw a round hanging hand.
Step 8: Honeycomb frame
In the left fist draw a tall box frame with a second box inside. Fill it with little hexagons.
Step 9: Bees
On the right draw 3 bees: an oval with 2 stripes, 2 teardrop wings on top and a dot eye.
Step 10: Trousers and boots
Start at the left end of the suit hem. Draw 2 trouser legs, ending at the right end. Add boots.
Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour the face and neck peach, with a pink circle on each cheek. Leave the eyes and suit white.
Step 12: Yellow hat, gloves, comb
Colour the straw hat, the gloves, the honeycomb and the bees yellow.
Step 13: Brown frame and boots
Colour the frame light brown around the honeycomb, and the boots brown. Your beekeeper is done!
Tip Keep the eyes white.
