How to Draw a Robot
Draw a robot in 11 easy steps, about 8 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, draw a wide box head with soft round corners, wider than it is tall.
Step 2: Antenna and ear bolts
From the head top, draw a short line up to a ball. Add a small box bolt on each side.
Step 3: Friendly face
Draw 2 big round black eyes with white shines. Add a U smile from under one eye to the other.
Step 4: Neck and body
Start on the head. Draw a short box neck down to a big box body. Stop back on the head.
Step 5: Chest dial
In the top of the body, draw one big circle dial. Add a middle dot and a short needle.
Step 6: Control panel
Below the dial, draw 2 lines across the body. Start at one edge, stop at the other. Add 3 buttons.
Step 7: Claw arms
From each side of the body, draw a slanted arm tube going down. Put a fat C claw on it.
Step 8: Tracks and ground
Under the body, draw a long flat sausage with 3 wheels inside. Draw a ground line under it.
Tip The tracks are wider than the body.
Step 9: Blue dial, grey metal
Colour the dial sky blue. Colour the head, bolts, neck, body, arms and claws grey around the dial and buttons.
Step 10: Red lights
Colour the antenna ball and the 3 buttons red.
Step 11: Dark tracks
Go over your lines. Colour the tracks dark grey, leaving the wheels white.
