How to draw a robot?

Drawing robots can be difficult when you do not know how to. This article provides you with simple step-by-step instructions on how to draw a fairly simple, cartoon robot.

Robot's head

Start off the robot sketch with a shape that looks like a china coffee cup with a rounded top for your robot's head. This is just an outline. So, you need to draw it in pencil.

Developing the head

About a quarter of the way down from the top of your robot's head, draw another curved line, following the curve of the top of his head. Below the line, you just draw a circle for your robot's eye. You can make the eye as big or little as you like, or even draw several eyes. Under the eye, draw another curved line. Connect your two curved lines outside your robot's head with a vertical line, and curve them back towards the head.

Robot's antenna

On the top of your robot's head, draw a long curved triangle with a ball on top of it for the antenna. For the mouth, contract the area under the eye/visor and the edge of your robot's head. This should almost make it look as though your robot is smiling. The neck is a long rectangle at the bottom of the head

Starting the body

Under your robot's neck, draw a rectangle shorter than half the size of his head for his body. On the top corners of his body, draw a circle on both ends for his shoulder sockets.

Arms

Your robot's arms are drawn much like his antenna only upside down. They should end just above the bottom of the rectangle for his body. At the bottom corners of your robot's body, draw an oval on both ends for your robot's hip joints. At the bottom of your robot's arms, draw a circle for his wrist joint. His hands are crescent with one side longer than the other that has been squished up in order to form a shape similar to that of a crab's claw.

Legs

The legs are drawn much like the arms, but only with the thick side of the triangle down. They should be about the same length as the arms. The feet are smaller rectangles sitting on top of larger ones.

Final details

Colour and add any additional details. Remember that you invented this robot so that it can look the way that you want it to. It can also do what you want it to.

Final word

Hopefully, this article has shown that sketching cartoon robots can be easy and fun.
