How to Draw Moon Knight
Are you a fan of heroes and drawing? Perfect! I’ll teach you how to draw Moon Knight in a playful chibi style that’s super simple and kid-approved. So, you’ll discover simple techniques to create a charming version of this mysterious hero that’s perfect for kids’ imaginations and artistic skills.
How to Draw Moon Knight: Basic Information
The difficulty of drawing any superhero or video game character always correlates with the amount of detail in their appearance. Therefore, Moon Knight is a relatively easy choice. However, there are several crucial details that determine the accuracy of your drawing and its resemblance to the canonical Moon Knight.
First and foremost, these are the distinctive attributes of a superhero. For Batman, it’s his mask with pointed ears and the Bat logo, while for Moon Knight, it’s his white hood, the crescent moon emblem on his chest, and narrow white eyes. Notably, the face and almost the entire surface of his body lack details.
Indeed, I often draw in Chibi Style, which involves unique proportions. For example:
- A large, rounded head that is the largest part of the body;
- Legs that are slightly shorter than the body;
- A lack of basic anatomical features of superheroes, such as powerful muscles and an inverted V-shaped torso.
Additionally, you can observe the features of the pose. It is a very calm, static position that makes drawing as easy as possible. By the way, if you want to see Moon Knight in dynamic poses, check out my Moon Knight coloring pages for that.

How to Draw Moon Knight
- Draw the head and torso.
Depict an even oval and add the small torso below. Don’t try to create perfectly even shapes, the main thing is to focus on the proportions and sizes of these shapes.
- Sketch out the legs.
Draw straight lines below the torso and add legs that are located together. The most convenient way would be to draw the general outline of the legs, then divide this with a vertical line and finish drawing the feet.
- Depict the hands.
From the head, draw down smooth lines and draw the arms that fit snugly against the torso. Also add a couple of lines to indicate the thumbs on both hands.
- Add the hood.
With the help of smooth curved lines, depict the hood of the same shape as in the example. As you can see, under the head are the thinnest lines of fabric, which widen towards the top.
- Draw the eyes and emblem.
Depict two eyes and draw the emblem in the form of the crescent moon on the chest. Use the tip of the hood as a guide to position the eyes.
- Add the rest of the cape.
Using a few smooth lines, draw the bottom outline of the cape. The upper corner is very close to the chin, but does not connect to it. Another important detail is the wavy edge of the cape.
- Draw the rest of the elements.
Depict the outline of the sleeve and shoes. Draw the belt with the buckle in straight lines. The contours of the gloves should be located slightly higher than the lines of the belt.
- Correct inaccuracies.
Correct the mistakes if necessary and remove the extra lines in the drawing. Fix any inaccuracies before you color your drawing. After working with colors it will be a little more difficult.
- Color the drawing.
Moon Knight’s costume should be slightly darker compared to the inside of the cape. At the same time, these are just different shades of gray. The white part of the suit can be light blue or light grey.
