Draw it step by step

Six steps to a house robot

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

1

Start with the body

Draw a tall, thin box standing on a wide dome. Leave three scoops along the bottom for the wheels.

2

Add a round head

A big circle on top, joined to the body by a short neck.

3

Give it a face

Two dot eyes, a wide smile, and a little dial on each side of the head.

4

Long arms and wheels

Two tube arms that bend at ball elbows: one reaches down and out, one reaches up. Then a wheel in each scoop.

5

A tray and a spray bottle

A flat tray with a cup of tea in the low hand. A spray bottle in the high hand, with a nozzle and a little spray.

6

Finishing touches

Three buttons down the front, a belt line, a floor to roll on, and a curl of steam from the tea. Now this house robot is yours.

Now draw a house robot that cooks your favourite meal.
