How to Draw a Hula Hoop

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a hula hoop in 13 easy 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 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: Baseball cap
Draw a round cap over the top of the head. Add a thick curved brim and a button.
Tip Let the brim stick out past the cap on both sides.
Step 4: Neck and T-shirt
From the chin draw 2 neck lines down to a boxy T-shirt with a V neck and short sleeves.
Step 5: Arms bent up
From each sleeve draw 2 arm lines out and down to a round elbow, then up to the wrist.
Tip Both arms make a W shape, out of the hoop's way.
Step 6: Fists
From one arm line draw a round fist with a thumb bump over to the other. Add a finger line.
Step 7: Shorts
Start at the T-shirt's bottom left. Draw shorts with a point between the legs. Stop at the bottom right.
Step 8: The hula hoop
Start at one side of the waist. Draw a tilted hoop with 2 lines across to the other side.
Tip Keep the 2 lines apart so you can colour between them.
Step 9: Legs
Under the shorts draw each leg: 2 lines from the shorts down to the ankle, narrower at the bottom.
Step 10: Sneakers and ground
Under each leg draw a chunky sneaker pointing out, with a toe cap. Add a ground line underneath.
Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour pink cheeks. Colour the face around them, the ears, neck, arms, fists and legs peach. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Yellow shirt, blue shorts
Colour the T-shirt yellow and the shorts blue.
Step 13: Red cap and hoop
Colour the cap, the sneakers and the hoop red. Go over your lines.
