How to draw a kid holding a goldfish bowl step by step
How to Draw a Kid Holding a Goldfish Bowl · 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: Head, hair curl, ears
Draw a big round shape for the head with a little curl of hair on top. Add a small bump on each side for the ears, then end each side with a short line curving in toward the neck.
Step 3: The round belly
Leave a gap below the head and draw a wide U-shaped curve, like the bottom of a ball. This is the bottom of the belly.
Step 4: The chin
Draw a gently curved line across the bottom of the head, from one ear to the other. It looks like a wide, flat smile and closes the face.
Step 5: Shoulders and straps
On each side, draw a curved line from the chin out over the shoulder and down the arm. Then add a short line hanging down from near the chin on each side for the straps.
Step 6: Hands
At the bottom of each arm, draw a small curved line to make a round hand, like a little fist. Let each hand reach out to the side of the belly.
Step 7: Eyes and smile
Draw two solid round dots for the eyes. Add a small U-shaped curve between and below them for a happy smile.
Step 8: Eyebrows
Above the eyes, draw three short curved lines for the eyebrows and a bit of fringe. Tilt them a little to make a sweet, curious look.
Step 9: Goldfish and bubble
On the belly, draw a long oval for the fish body, then add a pointy tail at one end, a small fin on top and below, and a round dot for the eye. Draw one small circle above it for a bubble, and add a short curve under each hand.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid holding a goldfish bowl
- Sketch the head shape lightly first, then add the ear bumps on each side so they sit at about the same height.
- Leave a small gap between the head and the belly curve. The chin line and the shoulders will connect them later.
- The fish is the trickiest part. Start with a long oval body, then add the tail at one end and the small fins last.
