How to Draw a Scout
Draw a scout 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 head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of your paper draw an egg for the 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 round eyes with a black dot and a white shine, a small U nose and a smile.
Step 3: Ears
On each side of the head draw a C ear, starting and ending on the head line.
Step 4: Scout cap
Draw the cap hugging the top of the head, with a curve across the forehead. Add a visor under it.
Step 5: Neck, shirt and neckerchief
Draw 2 neck lines. From one, draw a shirt with short sleeves over to the other. Add a triangle neckerchief.
Step 6: Badge sash
From the right shoulder draw 2 lines slanting down to the bottom of the shirt. Add 3 round badges.
Step 7: Arms
From under each sleeve draw 2 lines down to the wrist, a little closer together at the bottom.
Step 8: Mitten hands
At each wrist draw a round mitten with a thumb pointing in, starting and stopping on the arm lines.
Step 9: Shorts and legs
Start at the shirt's left corner. Draw shorts down and up to the right corner. Add a leg under each.
Step 10: Shoes and ground
Under each leg draw a shoe with a round toe pointing out. Draw a long ground line under the shoes.
Step 11: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour the face, ears, neck, arms, hands and legs peach, with a pink cheek each side. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Tan shirt, red neckerchief
Colour the shirt tan around the sash, the shorts tan and the neckerchief red.
Step 13: Green cap and sash
Go over your lines. Colour the cap and sash green, leaving the badges white, and the shoes brown.
