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: Round head outline
Draw a big round shape for the head, a little wider than it is tall, with a tiny bump at the top. Make it nice and smooth.
Step 3: Cap brim and button
Draw a straight line across the head for the bottom of the cap, then a curved smile-shaped line just under it for the brim. Add a tiny circle on the very top of the head for the cap button.
Step 4: Body and apron
Under the head, draw a rounded U shape for the apron, with a short line going up on each side. Then draw two wavy lines down from the sides for the body and legs.
Step 5: Face, arms and squeegee
Add two little dots for eyes and a happy curved smile. Draw a short line across the top of the apron, then an arm on the right that ends in a small circle for the hand, holding a long handle with a flat squeegee at the top. On the left, draw a long arm that reaches down to the ground.
Step 6: Two oval shoes
Draw two ovals side by side at the bottom of the legs for shoes. Let them touch in the middle.
Step 7: Bucket and bubbles
Draw a bucket that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, down on the left. Then add a few small loops and circles above it for soap bubbles, with the left arm reaching into the bucket.
Step 8: The window and latch
On the right, draw a tall rectangle for the window, with a line down the middle and a line across it to make four panes. Add a tiny diamond latch on the upper left pane.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a window washer
- Draw the head first and keep it big, then add the cap line and the curved brim across it.
- The arms are the trickiest part. Take your time and draw each one as a long, skinny shape that bends a little, then add a small circle for the hand.
- Use a ruler or the edge of a book for the window. Straight lines make the four panes look neat.

Window washer fun fact for kids
A squeegee is a tool with a rubber blade on a handle. Window washers use it to pull soapy water off the glass in one smooth stroke.
