How to Draw a Thought Bubble
Draw a thought bubble in 10 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: the cloud.
Step 1: The cloud
Near the top of your paper, draw a big puffy cloud. Put 10 round bumps all the way round.
Step 2: Two big eyes
Just below the middle of the cloud, draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a black dot and a shine.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: A star
In the top right of the cloud, draw a little star.
Step 5: Thought trail
Under the cloud, down to the left, draw 3 little circles. Make them smaller as they go down.
Step 6: Shine
In the top left of the cloud, draw one small curve for the shine.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw 3 sparkle stars around the cloud.
Step 8: Cream cloud
Go over your lines. Colour the cloud cream, leaving the eyes, the star and the cheeks white.
Step 9: Sky trail
Colour the 3 little circles sky blue.
Step 10: Yellow star, pink cheeks
Colour the star and sparkles yellow and the cheeks pink. Your thought bubble is ready to think!
