How to Draw a Kid with a Watering Can · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Sides of the head
Draw two curved lines for the sides of a round head, one on the left and one on the right. Leave the top and bottom open, because the hat and body will close them.
Step 2: The wide hat
Draw a wide, flat oval for the brim across the top of the head. Add a rounded dome on top, then a curved band around the bottom of the dome.
Step 3: Body and hand
Under the head, draw a tall rectangle for the body with a short curved collar line across the top and a flat line along the bottom. On the right side, draw a small hook shape with a little round hand for holding the can.
Step 4: Arm and spout
On the left, draw a long rounded tube for the arm with a small round hand at the bottom. On the right, draw a long slanted line going out from the hand that ends in a flat oval for the end of the spout.
Step 5: Legs and shoes
Under the body, draw two short lines for the legs. Add a wide oval shoe at the bottom of each leg. Add a small curl to finish the left hand.
Step 6: Can handle
Next to the right hand, draw a curved arch for the handle of the watering can. Both ends of the arch connect to the spout shape you drew before.
Step 7: Face and pocket
Draw two little dots for eyes and a small curved smile underneath. Then draw a small rounded rectangle for a pocket in the middle of the body.
Step 8: Sprouting plants
On the ground at the right, draw three short stems. Add a pair of curved leaves at the top of each one. Then add a few small drops under the end of the spout.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.
