How to Draw an Orc
Draw an orc 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: big head.
Step 1: Big head
Near the top of your paper, draw a big head, wider than tall, with fat round cheeks.
Tip The head is almost half of the whole orc.
Step 2: Pointy ears
Start high on each side of the head. Draw a big pointy ear out sideways, back to the head.
Step 3: Big eyes
On the middle of the head, draw 2 big round eyes with black dots. Add a rainbow brow over each.
Step 4: Jaw and snub nose
Across the bottom of the head, draw a wide flat-topped jaw. Add a little nose between the eyes.
Step 5: Grin and tusks
Across the jaw, draw a wide smile. At each end, draw a pointy tusk poking up from the lip.
Step 6: Round belly
Start under the left cheek. Draw a big pear body, back up to the right cheek. Add a tummy patch.
Step 7: Arms and hands
From each cheek, draw an arm down to a round hand on the tummy and back. Add 2 finger lines.
Step 8: Legs and feet
Start halfway down each side of the belly. Draw a round C leg out, with a flat foot under it.
Step 9: Topknot and ground
Start on top of the head. Draw a hair flame, back to the head. Add toe lines and the ground.
Step 10: Light jaw and tummy
Go over your lines, then colour the jaw and tummy patch light leaf green. Leave the tusks white.
Step 11: Green skin, black topknot
Colour the orc green around the jaw and tummy, and the topknot black. Leave the eyes white.
