How to Draw a Robot Dog
Draw a robot dog 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: box head.
Step 1: Box head
Near the top of your paper draw a big box for the head, wider than tall, with soft round corners.
Tip Leave room below for the body and legs.
Step 2: 2 big eyes
Just above the middle of the box draw 2 big round eyes, with a black dot and a white shine.
Step 3: Box snout
Under the eyes draw a small round box for the snout. Draw a little rectangle nose near its top.
Step 4: Smile
From the bottom of the nose draw a short line down, then a little w smile out to each side.
Step 5: Ear flaps
Start at the top left corner of the head. Draw a flat flap out and down to the bottom corner.
Tip Do the right ear the same.
Step 6: Antenna
Start on top of the head in the middle. Draw a short line straight up to a round ball.
Step 7: Box body and collar
Start under the head. Draw a box body down, across and back up to the head. Add 2 collar curves.
Tip Round the corners of the box. The collar curves sag a little.
Step 8: Screen and bolts
Under the collar draw a small rectangle screen with a line inside. Add a little round bolt on each side.
Step 9: Tube legs and paws
For each front leg start under the collar. Draw 2 lines straight down to a flat block paw.
Tip Add a knee line across and 2 toe lines on each paw.
Step 10: Back paws
Draw a block paw at each bottom corner. Curve a round hip from the body side down to each paw.
Tip Rub out the body line inside each hip.
Step 11: Tail and ground
From the right hip, draw a curved tail up to a ball. Add a ground line under the paws.
Tip Make the tail fat at the hip and thin at the ball.
Step 12: Grey metal
Colour the head, snout, ears, body, legs and tail grey, around the collar and screen. Leave the eyes white.
Step 13: Red collar, blue screen
Colour the collar and both balls red, and the screen sky blue.
