How to Draw Jumping in Puddles

11 steps · Tricky · about 8 min

Draw jumping in puddles in 11 steps, about 8 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 the paper draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip A little higher than usual: the kid is jumping, feet off the ground.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 big oval eyes with a shine, a small U nose and a wide smile.
Step 3: Hood
Draw a big round hood all the way round the head, wider than the head and closing under the chin.
Tip Leave a thick band of hood over the top of the head. The face shows inside.
Step 4: Raincoat
Under the hood draw a raincoat with round shoulders, widening to a hem at the knees. Add 3 buttons.
Tip Draw a line down the middle with the buttons beside it.
Step 5: Long sleeves
From each shoulder draw a long sleeve out to the side, bending at the elbow, stopping at the wrist.
Tip Both arms fly out and up for balance.
Step 6: Hands
On each wrist draw a round fist pointing out, with a short curved line across it for the fingers.
Step 7: Legs and boots
From the hem draw 2 short legs, left kicking out, right straight down, stopping at a tall boot each.
Tip Mid-jump: the left boot is up in the air, the right is splashing down.
Step 8: Puddle and splashes
Under the boots draw a flat oval puddle, behind the right boot. Add 5 teardrop drops and 2 splash lines.
Tip The boots are just landing, so the water splashes up.
Step 9: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour the face, hands and legs peach, with a pink circle on each cheek. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Yellow raincoat and hood
Colour the raincoat, its sleeves and the hood yellow.
Step 11: Red boots, blue puddle
Colour the boots red, and the puddle and the drops blue. Go over your lines.
