Draw it step by step

Six steps to a knight

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

1

Start with the helmet

Draw one big circle near the top. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly helmet makes a friendlier knight.

2

Add a shield and armour

A big round shield down on one side. Then a chest plate under the helmet that tucks behind the shield.

3

Lift the visor

An oval window for the face, with the visor pushed up above it. Then two dot eyes and a smile.

4

Hold up a pole

One arm out to the side with a round fist. Then a tall pole going straight up and down through it.

5

Legs and a plume

Two legs and two pointy boots. Then a feather plume curling off the top of the helmet.

6

Finishing touches

A belt, a flag at the top of the pole, and a star on the shield. Now this knight is yours.

Go further

Now draw a knight who is friends with a dragon.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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