Draw it step by step

Six steps to Bigfoot

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

1

Start with the body

Draw a tall body, wide at the shoulders and narrower at the hips. Give it a shaggy zigzag bottom and a tuft on the back.

2

A round head

A round head that rises straight out of the shoulders, with no neck. A little bump on top is fine.

3

Give it a face

A heavy brow, two dot eyes under it, and a round muzzle with a big smile inside.

4

Legs and giant feet

Draw a long ground line. Then two thick legs mid-step, each with a huge flat foot and five round toes, standing on the line.

5

Two long arms

Draw each arm with two lines. One hangs down past the hips, and one waves hello with an open hand.

6

Footprints behind

Two little footprints with toes on the ground behind him, and a few fur flicks on the chest. Now this Bigfoot is yours.

Go further

Now draw Bigfoot on a camping trip.
