How to Draw a Police Officer
Draw a police officer in 12 easy steps, about 9 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, in the middle, draw an egg 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 small eyes, a tiny nose and a smile. Each C ear starts and ends on the head line.
Step 3: Peaked cap
Draw a tall cap over the head, eyebrow to eyebrow, with a flat top. Add a band, visor and badge.
Tip The visor curves under the front; the round badge sits on the front.
Step 4: Neck and shirt
From a short neck, draw a shirt with short sleeves, down to the waist. Add a collar at the top.
Step 5: Tie and badge
Under the collar, draw a knot and a tie hanging to a point. Add a star badge on the chest.
Step 6: Arms
From each sleeve, draw 2 lines down to the wrist, bending gently at the elbow and getting narrower.
Step 7: Mitten hands
From the outer wrist, draw a round mitten and a little thumb pointing in. Stop at the inner wrist.
Step 8: Trousers and belt
From the shirt hem, draw 2 trouser legs down and back up to the hem. Add a belt and buckle.
Step 9: Shoes and ground
Under each leg, draw a shoe with the toe pointing out. Add a ground line under both shoes.
Step 10: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Add pink cheeks, and colour the face, ears, neck, arms and hands peach around them.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Yellow badges, sky shirt
Colour the badges and buckle yellow. Colour the shirt sky blue around the star and tie.
Step 12: Navy cap, black shoes
Colour the cap and trousers navy around the yellow, then the visor, tie and shoes black. Go over your lines.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a police officer, drawn by you.
