Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your cyclops to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big circle near the top. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly head makes a friendlier giant.
A big round tunic under the head, wide at the bottom with a flat hem.
One huge eye in the middle of the face, a wide smile, a little horn on top, and round ears.
One arm down at the side, and one arm up high to wave hello. Big round hands on both.
Two sturdy legs, a flat sandal under each one, and a strap across each ankle. Then a line for the ground.
A belt with a buckle, and a tiny tree by his feet to show how big he is. Now this cyclops is yours.
Now draw a cyclops who needs glasses.
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 cyclops into a real animated film — with Kubrio's AI thinking partners at their side. The little wave 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.
