How to Draw the Brave Little Toaster
"The Brave Little Toaster," a cult animated movie from the 1980s, stars the Toaster, who journeys across fantastical landscapes in order to find his beloved owner, a boy who moved away with his family, abandoning their outdated household appliances. Drawing this character is a simple task with the right tools and a good eye for geometry. Start by studying an existing picture of Toaster and choosing the angle at which you want to draw him.

1
Sketch a thin, rectangular toaster base using your ruler, leaving the bottom two corners not fully connected, in order to create sloped, rectangular legs drawn downward, smiling outward. Sketch the legs evenly, showing two if you choose a front-on angle, or three for a side angle with depth of perception.
-
2
Draw two even lines that stretch up vertically from the rectangular base that have rounded corners at the top. Connect these sides with a slight, rainbow-shaped line that will serve as the top of Toaster.

-
3
Sketch two rounded toaster levers, which serve as arms. Draw a rectangular slot on the sides where the arms protrude from, if creating a side view of the toaster.
-
4
Draw each circular eye by starting with your pencil halfway up the rectangular face. Make the eyes slightly longer than they are wide. Add two little round slits following the rainbow shape of the top of the eye as eyelids. Make two smaller concentric circles as the pupil and the iris. Place them according to the facial expression you want.
-
5
Make two arched eyebrows close to the very top of Toaster's face. Stretch them above the rim of the toaster if you want an excited or questioning look.
-
6
Draw Toaster's smile, choosing from the basic line smile or a melon-slice shape with two downward-facing dimples at the corners. Draw the tongue and teeth if you choose an open mouth.
-
7
Color your drawing using pens, colored pencils, makers or paints, and outline the figure in dark ink for a more exaggerated effect.
