Draw it step by step

Six steps to a goblin

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a big round head, a little wider at the top. Wobbly is fine.

2

Add giant ears

One long pointy ear on each side, sticking straight out. Make them wider than the head.

3

Give it a face

Two big round eyes, a long pointy nose, and a wide grin with one tooth.

4

A skinny body and arms

A small skinny body under the head. One arm hangs down, and one holds something up.

5

Legs, feet, and a vest

Two thin legs with big pointy feet. Draw a V on the chest for a little vest.

6

Finishing touches

A line inside each ear, two cheeky eyebrows, and a shiny button in his hand. Now this goblin is yours.

Go further

Now draw a goblin who collects shiny buttons.

Practice on paper

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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