How to Draw a Kid in a Crayon 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 crayon body
Draw a tall rectangle with a flat bottom and rounded bottom corners. Curve the top corners inward, and leave a gap in the middle of the top for the tip.
Step 3: The pointed tip
On top of the body, draw a triangle with a slightly curved peak. Close it at the bottom with a gentle curved line that fills the gap between the two top corners of the body.
Step 4: The face window
In the upper middle of the body, draw a wide oval for the kid's face. Leave a little space around it.
Step 5: Eyes and smile
Fill in two round dots for eyes, side by side inside the oval. Add a small curved smile below and between them.
Step 6: Arms
Draw a rounded loop on each side of the body, like a bean or a mitten. Start and end each loop on the body's side line.
Step 7: The label
In the middle of the body, draw a rounded rectangle like a crayon label. Add a wavy squiggle inside it.
Step 8: Wavy stripes
Draw a small wavy zigzag line across the body below the face, from one side to the other. Then draw a matching one below the label near the bottom.
Step 9: Legs and feet
Draw two short straight legs coming down from the bottom of the body. Finish each with a flat oval for a foot.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a crayon costume
- Draw the body first and keep the sides straight and parallel so the crayon looks tall and sturdy.
- For the wavy stripes, make small up and down bumps that are about the same size. Light pencil dots along the top and bottom can help you keep them even.
- Draw each leg first so you know where its oval foot goes, and keep the two feet the same size.
