How to Draw A Clown Step by Step

Step by Step Guide

Have you ever tried to draw a clown, but gave up half way because you were confused as to how you should draw it? I have had this experience a few times, especially when I was just starting to get myself into drawing. But eventually, I worked out a simple step by step approach for drawing clowns, something, which I believe, you will really appreciate and learn a thing or two from.

We start drawing our clown from the head, and make our way down to its body. The funky looking hair and the red nose are crucial elements for making it look realistic. And just for some extra details, we make our clown juggle a few balls.

Start with the head

The head is circular in shape, with the left and right sides draw a bit flat.

Add the ears and neck

Use a light pencil to draw the ears and neck. They are drawn a bit small.

Draw the hair and collar

The hair is curly and the collar is shaped like an umbrella.

Time to add the hands

Use a light pencil to draw the hands and the upper part of the clown’s body.

Draw the arms

Join the hands with the body by drawing the arms.

Give the clown legs

The legs are long and the trouser ends are folded upwards.

Go for the glasses and the nose

The glasses are drawn a bit bigger, and the nose is circular.

Add some details

Let us make the clown wear a hat, and give his dress some buttons.

He is juggling

We draw some balls to show that the clown is juggling them.

Final touches

Use a dark pencil to give the drawing some sharpness.

Time to color

Use some bright and festive colors for your funny little clown.
