How to Draw a Pluto

13 steps · Medium · about 10 min

Draw a pluto 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 planet.

Step 1: The planet
Draw a big round planet a little left of the middle, leaving room for a moon at the top right.
Tip Pluto is a tiny planet, but draw it big so its heart fits.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Above the middle of the planet draw 2 big egg eyes. Colour a black dot in each, leaving a shine.
Tip Keep both eyes the same size and at the same height.
Step 3: Big smile
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from under the left eye over to the right eye.
Step 4: Pluto's heart
Under the smile draw a big heart. Start at the dip, go round both bumps, down to the point.
Tip Pluto really has a giant heart shape on it. It is made of ice!
Step 5: Three craters
Draw 3 round craters: a big one above the eyes, one on the left and one low on the right.
Tip Make each crater a different size, and keep them off the face.
Step 6: Pluto's moon
In the top right corner draw a small round moon. Add 2 tiny craters on it.
Tip Pluto's biggest moon is called Charon.
Step 7: Stars
Draw 3 small 5-point stars, one near each of the other corners of your paper.
Tip Keep the stars well away from the planet.
Step 8: Yellow stars
Colour the 3 stars yellow.
Step 9: Rosy cheeks
Beside each end of the smile, colour a small pink oval for a rosy cheek.
Step 10: Cream heart
Colour the heart cream, a very pale yellow.
Step 11: Grey moon
Colour the moon pale grey, around its 2 tiny craters.
Step 12: Sandy planet
Colour the planet light brown around the eyes, cheeks, heart and craters. Leave the eyes white.
Tip Go slowly round the heart so it stays pale.
Step 13: Dark craters
Colour Pluto's 3 craters darker brown and the moon's 2 craters darker grey. Go over your lines. Pluto is done!
