How to draw a kid with a watermelon slice step by step
How to Draw a Kid with a Watermelon Slice · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The head
Draw a big circle for the head, but stop a little short at the bottom so there is a small gap for the neck. The top can be a bit bumpy, like hair.
Step 3: The headband
Draw a curved line across the top of the head from one side to the other. Then draw a second curved line just above it, so the two lines make a band around the forehead.
Step 4: Face and chin line
Add two round dots for eyes and a small curved smile below them. Then draw a short flat line under the chin, with a tiny tick going down on the right side.
Step 5: The body
Draw two long sides going down from under the head, a little wavy, like a tall rounded rectangle. Join the bottoms with a wavy line that dips a little in the middle.
Step 6: Stripes and first arm
Draw three gentle curved lines across the body to make stripes. Let the top stripe keep going out to the right as a long line for the first arm.
Step 7: Both arms
Draw two long bars reaching out to the right from the body, one above the other. Each bar is made of two long lines side by side, and the ends stay open.
Step 8: The watermelon slice
Draw a big triangle that points down, with a slightly curved top edge and a wavy right edge. Add small dots inside for seeds, and two little round hands where the arms meet the slice.
Step 9: Feet
Draw two short sticks for legs under the body. Then draw a flat oval at the bottom of each one for shoes.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid with a watermelon slice
- Draw the head circle first and keep it big. Everything else is easier to place once the head is the right size.
- The arms are the trickiest part because they sit in front of the body. Start the top arm from the top stripe, then draw the second arm below it, and keep the two bars about the same length.
- For the wavy edge of the watermelon, draw three or four small bumps in a row down the right side, like tiny hills.
