Six steps, one pencil, about twelve minutes. Watch the video, follow along on paper, then bring your kraken to life.
Watch it first
Draw it step by step
New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.
Draw a tall head with a pointed top, like a rocket. Leave the bottom open. Wobbly is fine.
Draw one wavy line across the page. Leave four small gaps where the tentacles come up.
Four tentacles rise out of the gaps, wide at the bottom and pointy at the tip. Curl some in and some out.
Two small fins near the point, two big dot eyes, and a wide smile. Then a few sucker dots on two tentacles.
A tiny boat bobs in front of the kraken. Give it a mast and a triangle sail.
Ripples on the sea and a flag on the boat. Now this kraken is yours.
Now draw a kraken giving a tiny ship a ride.
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 kraken 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.
