Draw it step by step

Six steps to a cloud

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

1

Start with the bumps

Draw a row of round bumps, small at the ends and biggest in the middle. Each bump is a puff of cloud.

2

Flatten the bottom

Join the two ends with one long, almost flat line. Clouds sit on a flat bottom.

3

Give it a sleepy face

Two half-moon eyes, flat on top, and a small smile. This cloud is happy and a little drowsy.

4

Cheeks and fluff

Two oval cheeks, then three little curves inside the top bumps. They make the cloud look soft.

5

Make it rain

Four short lines falling under the cloud. Keep them straight up and down.

6

Three raindrops

Three fat raindrops, pointy on top and round at the bottom. Now this cloud is yours.

Now draw a cloud in the shape of your favourite animal.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper cloud into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The sleepy blink 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.

The Animation Studio

Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
