How to Draw a Farmer
Draw a farmer in 12 easy steps, about 9 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 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
Draw 2 oval eyes, a tiny U nose and a smile. Add C ears, starting and ending on the head.
Step 3: Straw hat
Draw a flat brim above the eyes. Add a crown as wide as the head, starting and ending on it.
Tip The brim sticks far past the head. Rub out the head lines inside the hat.
Step 4: Neck and T-shirt
From the chin draw 2 neck lines down to a boxy T-shirt with short sleeves.
Step 5: Arms
From each sleeve draw 2 lines down to the wrist, bending a little at the elbow, thinner at the bottom.
Step 6: Mitten hands
Start at one wrist corner and draw a mitten round to the other, with a thumb bump pointing down.
Step 7: Overalls
Draw overalls: a bib up on the chest, then 2 legs down from the shirt, with a point between.
Tip The bib is a little narrower than the shirt.
Step 8: Straps and buttons
From each bib corner draw a strap up to the shoulder. Put a round button under each strap.
Step 9: Boots and ground
Under each leg draw a tall boot, toe pointing out, with a heel block. Add a ground line underneath.
Step 10: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour pink cheeks, then the face, ears, neck, arms and hands peach around them. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Yellow hat, red shirt
Colour the hat yellow and the shirt red.
Step 12: Blue overalls, brown boots
Colour the overalls and straps blue and the boots brown. Go over your lines.
