Free course: How to draw a character
Six steps, one pencil, about eight minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then print the practice sheet and draw it again.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a big round head, open at the bottom. Wobbly is fine — wobbly cookies taste the same.
Two fat arms straight out to the sides, with round hands. Take a bite out of one hand: three little bumps.
From each armpit, draw down into a leg that leans out. Round feet, and join the legs in the middle.
Two dot eyes and a big smile.
A zigzag across each wrist and each ankle, like squiggly icing.
Three round buttons down the middle. Now this gingerbread man is yours.
Now draw a gingerbread man who decorated himself.
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.
