How to Draw a Kobold

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a kobold 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: big egg head.

Step 1: Big egg head
Near the top, draw a big head wider than tall, with fat round cheeks and a small chin.
Tip The head is almost half of the whole kobold.
Step 2: Horns and ears
On top of the head draw 2 curved horns leaning apart. On each side draw a pointy ear.
Tip Each horn is like a banana standing on end.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Just above the middle of the head, draw 2 big round eyes. Add black dots with shines.
Step 4: Snout and nostrils
Under the eyes draw a wide oval snout. Add 2 small dot nostrils near its top.
Tip Keep a gap between the snout and the eyes.
Step 5: Smile and fangs
Start on the snout's left edge. Draw a smile across to the right edge. Hang 2 tiny fangs.
Step 6: Body and tummy
Under the cheeks, draw a big pear body, widest low down. Add an egg tummy with 2 curved bands.
Step 7: Arms and fists
From each side of the body, draw a bent arm poking out. Add a round fist with 2 finger lines.
Tip Arms are fat at the shoulder and thinner at the wrist.
Step 8: Legs and feet
Low on each side of the body, draw a short leg poking out. Under it, draw a round flat foot.
Step 9: Lizard tail
On the right of the body, draw a thick tail curving out and up, getting thinner to a point.
Tip Fat at the body, thin at the tip.
Step 10: Toes and ground
Add 2 short toe lines on each foot. Then draw a long ground line under the feet.
Step 11: Sandy tummy, snout
Go over your lines. Colour the tummy and the snout a pale sandy colour. Leave the fangs white.
Step 12: Orange skin
Colour the head, ears, body, arms, legs and tail orange. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Brown horns
Colour the 2 horns brown. Your kobold is done!
