How to Draw a Kid Taking a Bubble Bath · 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 head
Draw a big circle near the top middle of the page. This round shape is the kid's head.
Step 3: Face and curl
Add two small dots for eyes and a little curved smile underneath. Then draw a short curly line sticking up from the top of the head.
Step 4: The shoulders
Under the head, draw a wide curved line like a rainbow arch for the shoulders. Let the right end turn into a few small wiggly bumps that slope down.
Step 5: The bathtub
Draw a long flat line for the rim of the tub, with a small round bump at its left end. Then draw curved sides that swoop down and a flat line along the bottom.
Step 6: Tub feet
Draw two short slanted lines under the bottom corners of the tub. They are the little feet that hold it up.
Step 7: Foam and bubbles
Draw a wavy, bumpy line of foam along the top of the water, across the kid's shoulders. Then add two small circles floating up near the top right.
Step 8: The rubber duck
At the right end of the tub, draw a small circle for the duck's head. Add a little beak and a dot for the eye, then draw a rounded body with a tail that flicks up.
Step 9: More bubbles
Draw four more circles of different sizes floating in the air around the kid's head, on the left and top. Make some big and some small.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid taking a bubble bath
- Draw the head circle first and leave room underneath, so the shoulders and tub have space to fit.
- The foam is the trickiest part. Draw it as a row of small bumps, like a cloud, and let it cover the lower edge of the shoulders.
- For the duck, start with the round head, then add the beak and the body. Make the tail a little curve that points up.

Kid taking a bubble bath fun fact for kids
Soap bubbles are round because the thin soap film pulls itself into the smallest shape it can make around the air inside, and that shape is a sphere.
Questions about drawing a kid taking a bubble bath
What shapes do I need to draw a kid in a bubble bath?
You mostly need circles for the head, bubbles, and duck's head. A long curved bowl shape makes the tub, and wavy bumps make the foam.
How do I make the bubbles look different from each other?
Draw some big circles and some small ones, and spread them out around the head. Try not to let them touch.
How do I make the kid look cuter?
Keep the eyes small and a little far apart, and draw a curved smile. A little curl of hair on top adds extra charm.
