How to draw a kid fishing step by step
How to Draw a Kid Fishing · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Sides of the head
Draw two curved lines that look like a pair of parentheses, one on the left and one on the right. Leave the top and bottom open for now, because they will be finished later.
Step 2: The hat
Across the top of the head, draw a dome like half a circle. Then draw a long, flat oval across the bottom of the dome for the wide hat brim.
Step 3: Face and vest
Draw two small dots for eyes and a little curved smile under them. Below the head, draw a vest with a big V at the top and a straight line down the middle for the zipper.
Step 4: Arms and hands
On the left side of the body, draw a long rounded tube for the arm with a small round hand at the bottom. Do the same on the right side, with the hand held up near the chest.
Step 5: Legs and boots
Under the vest, draw two short straight lines for legs. At the bottom of each one, draw a flat oval for a boot.
Step 6: Vest pockets
Draw a small square with rounded corners on each side of the zipper for the pockets.
Step 7: Fishing rod
Start at the right hand and draw a long slanted line going up to the right. Next to it, draw a second thin line that curves up alongside, so the rod looks like a long, narrow loop.
Step 8: Small oval
Near the bottom of the rod, next to the hand, draw a small oval. It sits right where the rod meets the hand.
Step 9: The bucket
In the bottom left corner, draw a bucket with a flat bottom and a rounded top edge. Add two straight lines across the middle for stripes.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid fishing
- Draw the hat after the head so the brim sits across the top. Keep the brim a long, flat oval that is wider than the head.
- The arms are the trickiest part. Draw the left arm as a long tube with a small round hand first, then do the right arm.
- Draw the rod as one long slanted line, then add the second thin line beside it. A steady hand works better than a ruler.

What shapes do I need to draw a kid fishing?
You need a circle for the head, a dome and a flat oval for the hat, small squares for the pockets, and ovals for the boots. Long lines make the rod.

Keep the head big and round and put the two dot eyes wide apart. A small curved smile and a floppy hat make the face friendly.
