14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a flying robot in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: round box head.

Step 1: Round box head
Near the top draw a wide box head with a round top and soft corners.
Tip Leave lots of room below for the body and the flames.
Step 2: Antenna
From the middle of the head top draw a short line up. Stop at a small ball.
Step 3: Happy face
Draw 2 big round eyes with black dots. Add a U smile from under one eye to the other.
Tip Leave a tiny white shine in each eye.
Step 4: Neck and body
Start under the head. Draw a short neck down to a big body that gets narrower at the bottom.
Step 5: Chest light
High on the body draw a big round light with a ring inside. Add a long flat slot under it.
Step 6: Arms out wide
From each shoulder draw a long arm tube out and up, like wings on a plane.
Tip Each arm gets a little thinner towards the end.
Step 7: Claw hands
On the end of each arm draw a round claw with a V bite cut out, like a pie.
Step 8: Two legs
From the bottom of the body draw 2 short straight legs, with a gap between them.
Step 9: Rocket boots
Under each leg draw a boot like a bell: narrow at the top, wide and flat at the bottom.
Step 10: Rocket flames
Under each boot draw a long pointed flame. Draw a small flame inside each one.
Tip The flames push the robot up into the sky.
Step 11: Yellow and orange
Colour the chest light, antenna ball and small flames yellow. Colour the big flames orange around them.
Step 12: Grey arms and legs
Colour the arms, the claws, the neck and the legs grey.
Step 13: Red boots
Colour the 2 rocket boots red.
Step 14: Blue robot
Colour the head and the body blue, around the face and the light. Leave the eyes white.
Tip Your flying robot is ready for take-off!
