How to Draw a Kid in a Penguin Costume (Easy Step by Step)
A kid in a penguin costume is a cute drawing that mixes a real face with a silly hood. It is built from ovals and circles: a big oval hood, a smaller oval face, a round tummy, and two leaf-shaped flippers. Once you can draw those shapes, you can draw this whole character.

How to draw a kid in a penguin costume step by step
How to Draw a Kid in a Penguin Costume · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 3 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The penguin hood
Draw a big, wide oval for the penguin hood. Close it all the way around, with a tiny flat spot at the bottom.
Step 3: The face
Inside the hood, draw a rounded oval for the kid's face. Let it sit low, so the bottom almost touches the hood and there is more hood showing at the top.
Step 4: The hood eyes
Near the top of the hood, draw a small circle on the left and one on the right. Add a small dot inside each one.
Step 5: The beak
At the top of the face, draw a small curved bump like a little hill. Add a short flat line under it, then a tiny pointed triangle hanging below.
Step 6: The tummy and body
Under the head, draw an upside-down U for the top of the round tummy. Then draw a curved line on each side of it, going down toward where the feet will be.
Step 7: The flippers
Draw a long, pointy leaf shape on each side of the body. Tilt them so the tips point down and out, like little wings.
Step 8: The feet
At the bottom, draw two wide, flat feet with a little gap between them. Give each foot a wavy line along the bottom for toes.
Step 9: Smile and finishing lines
Inside the face, draw two small dots for eyes and a little curved smile. Then add a short curved line on each side under the hood, linking the neck to the flippers.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid in a penguin costume
- Draw the face oval inside the hood so the hood looks like it wraps around the head. Leave more hood showing at the top than at the bottom.
- The beak is the trickiest part. Start with the small bump, then add the flat line, and finish with the little triangle underneath.
- Tilt the two flippers the same amount on each side, so they match.

Kid in a penguin costume fun fact for kids
Penguins cannot fly, but their wings work like flippers that push them through the water. That is why penguins are such good swimmers.

What shapes do I need to draw a kid in a penguin costume?
