How to Draw a Cartoon Astronaut

The idea of drawing tends to scare a lot of people. They make it a much more complex process than it needs to be. Drawings can all be broken down into simple steps. If you tackle each step one at a time rather than trying to complete the entire drawing, you'll find the process easier and the results better.

Instructions

      Step 1

      Start your drawing with simple shapes. This gives you a sense of sizing and what your astronaut will look like. Use an oval for the head and rectangle for the body, and draw the legs using rectangles and squares.

      Step 2

      Erase the overlapping lines and make your outline less rigid. Add in an arm for your astronaut.

    • 3
      Step 3

      Start adding in some details, remembering to draw lightly. Give your astronaut a visor on his helmet and his other arm. Draw lines to separate his boots from his legs.

      Step 4

      Finish your astronaut's final details: Give his suit badges and buttons. Add glare lines to the visor and wrinkles to his suit. When you get your astronaut how you want him, trace your pencil lines with black marker.

      Step 5

      Color your astronaut and add scenery. This astronaut is on the moon, but you can put yours wherever you want him.
