Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your ninja to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw one big circle near the top. This is the ninja's hood, and it covers the whole head.
A tunic shape under the hood, wider at the shoulders. Keep the sides soft and round.
Draw a wide lemon shape across the middle of the hood. Put two happy eyes inside it, like little upside-down smiles.
Stretch one arm up and one arm out. Bend one knee wide and kick the other leg out, ready to leap.
Add a headband across the forehead, a belt around the middle, and two soft shoes.
Two headband tails flying out behind the head, and a knot on the belt. Now this ninja is yours.
Now draw a ninja sneaking up on a birthday surprise.
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 ninja into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little flutter 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.
