How to Draw a Kid Jumping in a Puddle · 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: Hat and brim
Draw a dome shape like half a circle for the top of the hat. Then draw a long, flat, thin oval brim along the bottom of the dome, sticking out a little on both sides.
Step 3: Sides of the head
Start at each end of the brim and draw a curved line down and inward, like the two sides of a round face. Leave the bottom open for now.
Step 4: Smiling face
Draw two small dots for eyes, side by side under the brim. Under them, draw a little curved smile like a bowl.
Step 5: The body
Under the head, draw a rounded box for the raincoat. Start at the bottom of one side of the head, go down, across, and back up to the other side. Add a tiny flare at each bottom corner.
Step 6: Zipper and buttons
Draw a short straight line down from the top of the coat and end it with a small circle. Add one more small circle below it.
Step 7: Arms and hands
Draw a long leaf shape reaching out from each side of the body. At the end of each arm, add a small circle for a hand.
Step 8: The boots
Under the coat, draw two blocky boots side by side with a small gap between them. Give each boot a flat bottom, and make them a little wider than the legs.
Step 9: The puddle
Draw a long, flat oval around the boots, wider than the whole kid. Draw a second, smaller oval inside it so the boots look like they are standing in the water.
Step 10: Splashing drops
Draw small teardrop shapes on both sides of the puddle, a few on the left and a few on the right. Make some bigger and some smaller so the water looks like it is splashing.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid jumping in a puddle
- Draw the hat brim as a long, flat, thin oval that sticks out past the dome on both sides. Go slowly here, because the head starts from its ends.
- Make the two arms match by starting each leaf shape at the same height on the body, then ending with a small circle hand.
- Draw the boots and puddle after the arms, and keep the puddle wider than the whole kid. Then add the splash drops last and vary their sizes.

A puddle is a small pool of water that collects in a dip in the ground, usually after rain. Water in a puddle slowly dries up, which is called evaporation, as the sun and wind turn it into invisible vapor in the air.
