How to Draw a Photographer
Draw a photographer 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 for the 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 nose and a smile. Each C ear starts and stops on the head line.
Step 3: Floppy beret
Draw a big soft puffy beret on the head, just above the eyes. Rub out the head line inside it.
Step 4: Neck and shirt
Draw 2 neck lines under the chin. From them, draw a short-sleeved shirt down to the hem.
Step 5: Bent arms
Start at each sleeve. Draw the arm down, round the elbow and in. Stop at a thin wrist.
Step 6: Mitten hands
Draw a round mitten on each arm, with a thumb bump on top. Leave a gap between the 2 hands.
Step 7: Camera
Draw a camera box between the hands. Add a lens with a ring, a flash and a button on top.
Step 8: Camera strap
From the bottom of each neck line, draw a curved strap down to the top corner of the camera.
Step 9: Trousers and shoes
Start under the arms. Draw 2 trouser legs with a V between, and stop at the feet. Add 2 shoes.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a ground line under the shoes, starting past the left shoe and stopping past the right one.
Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Go over your lines. Colour the face, neck, ears, arms and hands peach, with pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Tan shirt, red beret
Colour the shirt tan, around the camera and the hands, and the beret red.
Step 13: Black camera, navy trousers
Colour the camera and shoes black, leaving the lens ring and flash white. Make the lens middle and trousers navy.
