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: Outer headset outline
Start at the lower left and draw a big dome that curves up and over the top and down the right side. Then close the shape along the bottom, with a small bump in the middle like a nose bridge.
Step 3: Inner strap arch
Inside the top of the dome, draw a smaller curved arch that follows the same curve. Leave a little space between it and the big outline, and stop before the sides.
Step 4: The headband
Draw a thick, gently curved band across the dome, from the left side to the right side. It looks like a wide ribbon lying across the head.
Step 5: The goggle lens
Under the band, draw a big rounded rectangle with soft corners. Dip the bottom edge up in the middle to make a bump, so it fits around the nose bridge.
Step 6: The face cushion
Below the lens, draw a wavy line with a bump in the middle that curves up at both ends. It hugs the bottom of the headset like a soft smile.
Step 7: The side earpieces
On each side, draw a small rounded bracket that sticks out from the headset. Make both sides match.
Step 8: The eyes
Inside the lens, draw two round dots side by side and fill them in dark. Keep them the same size.
Step 9: The little nose
Between the eyes and a bit lower, draw a tiny curved line like a small hill. It gives the headset a friendly face.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a VR headset
- Draw the big outline lightly first, then trace over it. The dome is the biggest part, so it helps to get it smooth.
- The cushion with the bump in the middle is the trickiest part. Draw the bump first, then let the line sweep out to each side.
- Make the two side earpieces match by drawing one, then copying its height and width on the other side.
