How to Draw a Veterinarian

13 steps · Tricky · about 10 min

Draw a veterinarian in 13 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. Leave room below for the coat and legs.
Step 2: The face
On the head, draw 2 small oval eyes with black dots. Add a tiny U nose and a smile.
Step 3: Hair and fringe
Draw the hair as a cap over the top of the head, with a fringe curve across the forehead.
Step 4: Neck and white coat
Draw 2 neck lines. From them, draw a long coat with round shoulders, ending at a gap under each shoulder.
Tip The long sleeves fill the gaps.
Step 5: Collar and stethoscope
Draw a V collar and a line down to the hem. Hang a round-ended stethoscope from the neck.
Step 6: Long sleeves
From each gap under a shoulder, draw a long sleeve that bends round at the elbow, across to the middle.
Tip Each sleeve gets thinner toward the wrist.
Step 7: Fists
On each wrist, draw a round fist pointing in, with a little thumb bump on top. The fists nearly meet.
Step 8: Kitten head
On the right sleeve, draw the kitten's head: a circle with pointy ears, round eyes, a nose and a smile.
Step 9: Kitten body and tail
From the head, draw the kitten's body: a long soft loaf lying along the arms. Add a curling tail.
Tip The fists sit under the kitten's tummy, so the vet is really holding it.
Step 10: Trousers, shoes, ground
Start at the left of the hem. Draw 2 trouser legs, back to the right. Add shoes and the ground.
Step 11: White coat, peach skin
Colour the coat and sleeves white, and the face, neck and fists peach with pink cheeks.
Tip Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Grey trousers, orange kitten
Colour the trousers grey below the coat, and the kitten orange, leaving its eyes white.
Step 13: Brown hair, black shoes
Colour the hair brown, then the shoes and the stethoscope's chest piece black. Your vet is done!
