How to Draw an Astronaut

Draw the outline of the head.
You can depict the astronaut’s head as two circles of different sizes.

Draw it with straight lines below the head. This part looks like a rectangle without one side.
Picture the astronaut’s legs.
Use straight and rounded lines to represent these elements.
Add the astronaut’s hands.
Depict the two arms on the right and left sides of the torso. They should look the same.
Add an astronaut backpack.
Depict it from behind the astronaut. You can use curved lines to do this.
Draw a few elements.
Outline a panel on the astronaut’s chest and also draw the lines of his sleeves.
Complete the drawing of the astronaut costume.
Add two lines on the helmet, details on the sleeves of the costume, and also outline the hose.
Erase the auxiliary lines.
Remove any unnecessary lines from the drawn astronaut with an eraser.
