How to Draw a Robot
- Draw the outline of the robot’s torso.
Begin with a simple upright rectangle, slightly rounded at the top for the robot’s head. Ensure the sides are smooth and the corners softly curved, creating a gentle dome-like shape.
- Picture the elements in the upper part of the torso.
Add a horizontal line across the lower part of the rectangle, stopping before the edges. Sketch two zigzag lines on each side of the head for ears, resembling the letter ‘M’.
- Draw the antenna.
Place a small circle on top of the head for an antenna. As a result, you can see a funny robot head and torso with old-school antennas.
- Depict the facial features.
Inside the head, draw two small rectangles for the eyes and a curved line below them for the mouth. Position these features in the upper half of the head, maintaining symmetry.
- Add the robot’s hands.
So, to draw the robot’s arms, create two identical rounded outlines on either side of the torso. Then add symmetrical horizontal lines like in my example.
- Draw the legs and buttons.
Our robot has a very simplified design. You can only see a couple of round elements as details on the body. In the same step, draw the outlines of the legs in the form of a pair of straight, elongated shapes.
- Picture the feet.
We are almost approaching the final steps. Draw a couple of rounded shapes at the bottom of the straight, contoured legs. As before, these are very simple, but symmetrical and even figures.
- Add lines on the legs.
It is these two lines that are ideal here, because in this case the leg segments look mobile and minimalistic.
- Color the drawing.
Color the robot with a base shade, then add different colors to the buttons and antenna. Highlight the eyes and mouth, giving the robot a vibrant, playful appearance to complete the drawing.
