How to Draw an Ogre
Draw an ogre in 11 easy 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 your paper, draw a big head, wider than tall, like an egg on its side.
Tip The head is almost half of the whole ogre.
Step 2: Ears and tuft
From each side of the head, draw a stubby pointed ear out and back. Add a zigzag tuft on top.
Tip Ogre ears stick out at the sides by the eyes, not up on top like a bear's.
Step 3: Eyes and heavy brow
Across the middle, draw 2 big eyes close together, with black dots. Add one thick arched brow just above.
Step 4: Ball nose
Under the eyes, in the middle, draw a round ball nose about as big as an eye.
Tip Leave a small gap between the eyes and the nose.
Step 5: Smile and two tusks
Below the nose, draw one wide smile from eye to eye. Add a little tusk poking up at each end.
Step 6: The big belly
Under the cheeks, draw a big pear body, widest low down.
Tip The body is narrower than the head, like a pear tucked under the chin.
Step 7: Arms and mittens
From under each cheek, draw a thick arm down the body, bending in to a round mitten on the belly.
Step 8: Hips and feet
Halfway down the body, draw a hip bump on each side, with a long flat foot under it, toes out.
Step 9: Wart and ground
Draw a little wart inside one cheek, and a ground line under the feet.
Step 10: Pink nose, light wart
Colour the nose pink and the wart light green. Leave the eyes and tusks white.
Step 11: Green skin, brown hair
Colour the ogre green, going around the eyes, nose, tusks, wart and brow. Colour the tuft and brow brown.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an ogre, drawn by you.
