How to Draw a Spacewalk

14 steps · Medium · about 11 min

Draw a spacewalk in 14 easy steps, about 11 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: tilted head.

Step 1: Tilted head
Above and left of the middle, draw an egg head tilted so the top leans left. The astronaut is floating.
Tip Leave room round the head for a big helmet.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 oval eyes with black dots and shines, a tiny U nose and a smile.
Step 3: Soft hair cap
Start on the left of the head. Draw soft tufts over the top, stopping on the right. Add a hairline.
Step 4: Space helmet
Around the whole head, draw a big round helmet, leaving a gap all round the head.
Step 5: Neck and suit
Draw 2 neck lines and a collar ring. From the ring draw a round suit top, back to the ring.
Step 6: Arms flung out
From each shoulder draw a bent sleeve out and up, with a mitten glove. Rub out the suit line inside.
Step 7: Badge and control box
On the left of the chest, draw a small flag badge. In the middle, draw a square control box.
Step 8: Trousers and boots
Start at the suit's bottom left. Draw 2 trouser legs, stopping bottom right. Add a boot under each.
Step 9: Station and tether
Draw a station panel in the top right corner. Curve a tether from the hip up to the panel.
Step 10: Earth and stars
Draw a big hill for Earth at the bottom, with 2 land bumps. Add 3 stars and 2 dots.
Tip Earth is a ball, so its edge curves up in the middle.
Step 11: Peach skin
Colour the face and neck peach and the cheeks pink. Leave the eyes and the suit white.
Step 12: Grey and green
Colour the boots, gloves, collar ring and station grey. Colour the 2 lands green.
Step 13: Red and brown
Colour the flag badge red and the hair brown.
Step 14: Blue sea
Colour the control box blue. Colour the sea blue around the green land. Your spacewalk is done!
