How to Draw a Robin Hood

Step 1: Head and ears

Left of the middle draw an egg head. Add a C ear on each side, starting and stopping on it.

Tip Leave room above for a hat and on the right for a tall bow.

Step 2: The face

Draw 2 big eyes in the middle with dots and shines. Add a U nose and a smile.

Step 3: Hat and feather

Draw a brim across the forehead with a long point on the left. Add a cap and a tall feather.

Step 4: Shoulder cape

Draw 2 neck lines down from the chin, then stop. Under them draw a short cape with 5 round bumps.

Step 5: Tunic and belt

From under the cape draw the tunic sides down to a hem of 5 round bumps. Add a belt across.

Step 6: Hand on hip

From the cape's left corner draw a sleeve out to the elbow, then back to a fist on the belt.

Tip The elbow points out to the side, like a triangle.

Step 7: Bow arm

From the cape's right corner draw a sleeve sloping down to the right. Stop at a round fist.

Tip The fist is closed because it is holding the bow.

Step 8: The bow

Draw a tall thin crescent through the fist, down to the ground. Join its tips with a straight string.

Tip The bow curves away from Robin Hood, and the string is on his side.

Step 9: Legs

From under the bumpy hem draw 2 legs down to below the knees, with a gap between them.

Step 10: Boots and ground

Under each leg draw a tall boot with the toe pointing out and a cuff line. Add a ground line.

Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks

Colour 2 pink cheeks. Colour the face, ears, neck and both fists peach. Leave the eyes white.

Step 12: Red feather, green tunic

Colour the feather red. Colour the tunic, both sleeves and the legs light green.

Step 13: Dark green and brown

Colour the hat and cape dark green. Colour the belt, the boots and the bow brown. Go over your lines.
