A smooth body on a rock and a ball on its nose. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your seal to life.

Draw it step by step

Six steps to a seal

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

1

Start with the body

Draw one long, fat bullet lying down, with a round head and a dog-like nose at the front and a thin tail end.

2

A rock to lie on

Draw a rock under the tummy, then a wavy line of water on each side.

3

Give it a face

One dot eye, a round nose at the very tip, and a little smile under it.

4

Add the flippers

A front flipper hanging over the rock, and two tail flippers at the back, like a little fan.

5

Whiskers and a crack

Three long whiskers from the nose, and a zigzag crack in the rock.

6

Balance a ball

Draw a ball resting on the tip of the nose, with a stripe across it. Now this seal is yours.

Go further

Now draw a seal balancing something that is not a ball.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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