How to Draw a Kid Painting an Easter Egg (Easy Step by Step)

How to draw a kid painting an Easter egg step by step
How to Draw a Kid Painting an Easter Egg · 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: Big round head
Draw a big oval for the head, a little wider than it is tall. Leave a small gap on the left side where the line stops.
Step 3: Face
Add two small dots for eyes in the middle of the face. Draw a little curved smile below them, like a bowl.
Step 4: Apron and egg
Under the head, draw a box that gets a bit wider at the bottom for the apron. On the right, draw a tall egg shape that is round at the top with a bumpy bottom.
Step 5: Shirt and fist
Draw a U shape around the apron for the shirt, starting at the left side and curving up on the right. On the left, add a small round circle for the fist, with a line joining it to the body.
Step 6: Flat shoes
At the bottom of the legs, draw two wide, flat ovals side by side for the shoes. Let them touch in the middle.
Step 7: Head edge
Add a few short little lines on the left side of the head, near the top, to finish the edge of the head.
Step 8: The paintbrush
Start at the fist and draw a long skinny stick that leans up along the left side of the head. At the top, draw a small rounded brush tip.
Step 9: Egg patterns
Draw a wavy line across the upper part of the egg. Then draw a curved stripe across the middle, from one edge of the egg to the other.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a kid painting an Easter egg
- Draw the head first and keep it big. A large head makes the kid look cute.
- The egg is the trickiest part, so draw it as a tall oval first. Make the top a little narrower than the bottom.
- Add the wavy line and stripe to the egg last, after the shape is done. Use light pencil lines first so you can fix any wobbles.
