How to Draw a Grandpa

Step 1: The head

Near the top of your paper draw an egg for the 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 eyes, each a dot with a shine. Add 2 eyebrows, a small nose and a smile.

Step 3: Glasses and moustache

Draw a big round lens around each eye with a tiny bridge. Under the nose draw a bushy moustache.

Step 4: Ears

Draw a C ear on each side. Start on the head beside the eye and stop back on the head.

Step 5: Hair at the sides

Above each ear draw a fluffy hair tuft. Start on the head and stop at the top of the ear.

Tip Grandpa is bald on top!

Step 6: Neck and cardigan

Draw 2 neck lines, then a round-shouldered cardigan from neck back to neck. Add a collar and 3 buttons.

Step 7: Long sleeves

Draw each sleeve with 2 lines from the shoulder and the armpit down to the wrist. Add a cuff line.

Tip Rub out the shoulder line inside each sleeve.

Step 8: Mitten hands

Under each sleeve draw a round mitten hand, like the bottom of an egg, with a little thumb pointing in.

Step 9: Trousers

Start at the cardigan's bottom left corner. Draw trousers with 2 long legs, and stop at the bottom right corner.

Step 10: Shoes and ground

Under each leg draw a shoe with the toe pointing out. Draw a long ground line under the shoes.

Step 11: Walking stick

From the ground draw a stick up into the right hand, then curl a little hook out of its side.

Step 12: Peach skin, pink cheeks

Colour the skin peach, around the cheeks and moustache. Colour the cheeks pink. Leave the lenses white.

Step 13: Grey hair, green cardigan

Colour the hair tufts and moustache grey, and the cardigan and sleeves green.

Step 14: Brown trousers, black shoes

Colour the trousers brown and the shoes black. Go over your lines and your grandpa is done.
