How to draw a kid in a hot dog costume step by step
How to Draw a Kid in a Hot Dog Costume · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The sausage body
Draw a tall, rounded rectangle like a big pill. Make the top and bottom curve gently and keep the two sides nearly straight.
Step 3: The two buns
Draw a long, tall oval on each side of the body, tucked behind it. The top and bottom of each oval touch the body near its corners.
Step 4: The face circle
Draw a big circle in the upper middle of the sausage body. This is where the kid's face peeks out of the costume.
Step 5: Eyes and smile
Add two small dots for eyes, side by side in the middle of the circle. Draw a little curved smile below them, like a tiny bowl.
Step 6: The mustard squiggle
Draw a small wiggly line shaped like an S standing up, in the middle of the lower body. Keep it smooth and wiggly.
Step 7: Little hands
Draw a small leaf shape sticking out from the outer edge of each bun, near the lower part. Make both about the same size.
Step 8: Two short legs
Under the body, draw two short pairs of straight lines going down, one pair for each leg. Join the bottom of each pair with a small line.
Step 9: Round shoes
Draw a flat oval at the bottom of each leg for a shoe. Let the legs connect to the top of each oval.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a hot dog costume
- Draw the sausage body first and a little lighter, so the buns can tuck in behind it without lines crossing.
- Make the two bun ovals about the same height. Look at one side, then the other, to check that they match.
- For the mustard squiggle, move your pencil in slow, smooth waves. If it comes out lumpy, try again with a lighter touch.
