Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your cowboy to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big U for the head. Leave the top open, because the hat sits there.
Close the top of the U with a wide brim that curls up at both ends. Put a tall crown on top with a dip in the middle.
Two dot eyes and a happy smile. Then a V under the chin for the bandana.
A shirt that starts at the bandana and gets wide at the shoulders. Add two vest lines and a belt.
One hand on the hip and one arm up high. Two legs down to pointy cowboy boots with a little heel.
A rope from the raised hand to a big loop in the air, then a hat band and a shiny buckle. Now this cowboy is yours.
Now draw a cowboy riding something that isn't a horse.
Practice on paper
Faint lines to trace, all six mini steps, and an empty box to draw your own. One page, works in black and white.
The magic part
Finished drawing? In a Kubrio project, your kid turns this paper cowboy into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little lasso swing below is a wink; the real clips go much further.
The Animation Studio
Your kid draws a character on paper, tells the story, and watches it star in a real animated film.
