Draw it step by step

Six steps to a vampire

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

1

Start with the head

Draw one big circle near the top of your paper. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly circle makes a friendlier vampire.

2

Draw the body

Start at the sides of his head and pull two long lines down to the floor. Let them lean out as they go, then join them with a curved hem.

3

Give him a face

Two dot eyes, then a wide open smile under them. Two tiny fangs hang down from the top of the smile.

4

Add the cape

Slope a short line out to each shoulder. Then sweep down past the coat and curl back in to a point.

5

A tall pointed collar

From each shoulder, draw a long point rising past his ear. Bring the inside line back down until it touches his head.

6

Finishing touches

A hairline that dips to a point on his forehead, and a bow tie at his neck. Now this vampire is yours.

The magic part

Animate your drawing with AI

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