How to Draw a Germ Monster
Draw a germ monster 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: bumpy ball.
Step 1: Bumpy ball
In the middle of your paper, draw a big bumpy ball: a circle with soft little bumps all round.
Tip Keep the bumps small and soft; the spikes come later.
Step 2: Big eye, small eye
Above the middle, draw a big round eye on the left and a smaller eye on the right, with dots.
Step 3: Wonky grin
Under the eyes, draw a big crooked open mouth, higher on the right. Add 2 square teeth and a tongue.
Tip Keep the teeth inside the mouth, apart from each other.
Step 4: Eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a short curved eyebrow, like a little rainbow.
Step 5: Spikes all round
Round the ball, draw 7 short stubby spikes poking out, evenly spaced. Leave gaps at the sides and bottom.
Tip The sides are for arms, the bottom for feet.
Step 6: Wiggly arms
From each side of the ball, draw an arm that bends down a little and gets narrower at the wrist.
Step 7: Mitten hands
At the end of each arm, draw a round mitten with a little thumb bump pointing up.
Step 8: Feet and ground
Under the ball, draw 2 little oval feet poking out, a gap apart, with toes. Add a ground line.
Step 9: Spots
Draw 3 round spots on the ball: 2 on the sides and 1 near the top, away from the face.
Step 10: Pink tongue, red mouth
Go over your lines. Colour the tongue pink and the mouth red around it. Leave the eyes and teeth white.
Step 11: Purple spots
Colour the 3 spots purple.
Step 12: Green germ
Colour the germ green all over, around the eyes, mouth and spots. Your germ monster is done!
