Draw it step by step

Six steps to an alien

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head

Draw a big round head, wide at the top and narrow at the chin. Wobbly is fine.

2

Draw the body

A small round body under the chin. The head is the big part.

3

Give it a face

Two huge oval eyes and a small happy smile.

4

Antennae and arms

Two bendy antennae with a ball on each end. Then thin arms with three fingers, one waving hi.

5

Legs and a belt

Two short legs with round feet, and a belt across the middle.

6

Finishing touches

Two rosy cheek dots, and a flying saucer zooming by. Now this alien is yours.

Go further

Now draw an alien trying Earth food for the first time.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper alien into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little antenna bob below is a wink; the real clips go much further.

Ingenious projects that inspire kids to make things — until they find the thing only they could make.
Ages 6–13.
