Draw it step by step

Six steps to a superhero

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a big circle near the top of your paper. Wobbly is fine.

2

Draw the body

Slope out to two wide shoulders, then pull the sides in to a narrow waist.

3

Add a mask

Draw a mask across the eyes, like a pair of glasses with no gap. Put a dot eye in each side and a smile below.

4

Hands on hips

Bend each arm out to a pointy elbow and back in to the waist. Add two legs and two boots.

5

A cape and a belt

From the neck, sweep a big cape out past one arm with a wavy edge. Add a peek of cape on the other side, and a belt.

6

Finishing touches

Spiky hair, a lightning bolt on the chest, and a stripe on each boot. Now this superhero is yours.

Go further

Now draw a superhero whose power is very small but very useful.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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