Hello, and welcome to another ten-step tutorial. Today, we are going to draw a robot together!

In the past, robots seemed futuristic, but they actually exist now! Robots are normally thought of as machines that resemble human beings. Additionally, they can perform some functions that a human can do. Surely you’ve seen some movies with robots! One famous robot movie is Wall-E from Pixar.

There are lots of different kinds of robots. Have you ever gotten to see one in person? They are a fascinating invention. One day, robots may be able to do a lot of different functions! It is a huge area of study in science.

Let’s get started. Keep reading for Step 1!

How to Draw a Robot — Let’s get started!

Step 1 – Draw the head of the robot.

How to Draw a Robot - Step 1 – Draw the head of the robot.

Our robot will kind of have a more mechanical appearance of a human being. Let’s start with the head. Draw a rectangle near the middle of the page. Draw a smaller rectangle inside it.

We’re off to a good start!

Step 2 – Draw the torso of the robot.

Let’s move on to the robot’s torso. Draw two short lines for the neck, and then below that, draw a rectangle identical to the first one in Step 1. This is the torso of the robot.

Step 3 – Draw the legs and feet.

Let’s keep going. Draw two short rectangles for legs, followed by two more rectangles for feet. Now our robot can walk!

Step 4 – Add a face!

Like we said, many robots we see in movies and TV resemble humans, but are really machines. To make our robot look more human-like, we need to draw a face!

Draw two dots for eyes and a small curve for a smile. The robot looks friendly now!

Step 5 –  Add more detail to the head.

Instead of hair, our robot will have antennae! Draw a small skinny rectangle on top of the the head. Next, draw two slanted lines for the antenna. Next, draw circles at the top of them.

We also need to add ears! Draw two large curves on the side of the rectangular head. These are the ears.

Step 6 – Add its arms.

Next, let’s complete the overall shape of the robot. It still needs arms! Draw tiny little rectangles for sleeves. Next, draw small curved shapes for the arms. They should be extending upwards.

Lastly, draw little claws for hands!

Step 7 – Draw more detail on the body.

We want to add to the mechanical look of the robot. We need to add a little control panel! Robots need to be turned off and on to work.

Draw a smaller rectangle inside the torso. Draw two squares inside that. Additionally, draw little triangles in the corner of the torso. Refer to the photo.

Great job!

Step 8 – Add more detail to the robot.

Once again, we’re just going to add little details to make our robot look more complete. Draw little rectangles inside each ear. Additionally, add little curves below the feet.

We’re almost done!

Step 9 – Add the finishing touches.

We just need to add several markings around the robot to give it the finishing touches.

Draw small lines through the arms, legs, and neck of the robot. This makes it look even more mechanical. Check out the photo!

Step 10 – Color!

Robots can be any color. We may think of them as grey because they are machines, but the possibilities are limitless!
