How to draw a panda holding an elephant balloon step by step
How to Draw a Panda Holding an Elephant Balloon · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Top and side of head
Start with two curved lines for the head. Draw a short curve across the top, then a curve for the right side that bows outward. Leave the left side and the bottom open for now.
Step 2: Chin and body sides
Draw a gentle curve under the head for the chin, curving up a little at both ends. Then draw a short curved line on the lower left and a tiny mark on the lower right to start the sides of the tummy.
Step 3: Round ears
Add a rounded ear on each top corner of the head, one on the left and one on the right. Each one is a little bump that sits on the head, and you can fill them in solid.
Step 4: Two arms
On the left, draw a bent arm raised up beside the head, with a rounded paw at the top. On the right, draw the other arm as a rounded sausage shape resting on the tummy, and fill both in solid.
Step 5: Two chubby feet
At the bottom of the body, draw two rounded feet side by side, with a small gap between them. Fill them in solid.
Step 6: The cute face
Draw two tilted ovals for the eye patches and put a small white dot in each. Add a tiny oval nose and a little wavy smile between them. Then draw a short curve to finish the left side of the head.
Step 7: Elephant back and trunk
Above the panda, draw one long line that makes a big bumpy hump for the elephant's head and back. Let the line swoop down on the left into a long trunk, and run a flat belly line with a few bumps along the bottom.
Step 8: Ear and trunk tip
Draw a big C-shaped ear inside the elephant's head. Then draw the curl at the end of the trunk to finish it.
Step 9: Eye and tail
Add a small dot for the eye near the base of the trunk. Then draw a tiny tail with a little flick on the right end of the elephant's back.
Step 10: Knot and string
Under the elephant's belly near the trunk, draw a little tied knot. Draw a long straight line from the knot down to the panda's raised paw.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a panda holding an elephant balloon
- Sketch the head and body very lightly first. The panda looks best when the head is wider than the tummy.
- Draw the two eye patches as tilted ovals that slant down toward the nose. Keep them the same size so the face looks friendly.
- The elephant trunk is the trickiest part. Draw it as one long curve that swoops down and ends in a small curl, and take it slowly.
