Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your mermaid to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a circle for the head. Then add long wavy hair that falls past the shoulders.
Draw a short body under the hair and a long tail that bends to the side. Then a big rock under the tail.
Two dot eyes and a big smile.
Two arms peeking out from the hair. Then a big fin at the tip of the tail, like two leaves.
A wavy line where the tail starts. Then little curved scales in two rows.
Two shells for her top, and a starfish in her hair. Now this mermaid is yours.
Now draw a mermaid exploring a sunken ship.
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 mermaid into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little fin flip 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.
