Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Face and Snout

Close-up of Bluey's eye and nose sketch on white paper.

Start by drawing a light circle for the head. Inside, add a small oval for the eye and a rounded triangle for the nose. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil lines very faint so you can easily erase any mistakes later!

Step 2: Adding the Second Eye and Mouth

Drawing the second eye and a wide, smiling mouth for Bluey.

Draw the second eye and a curved line for the open, happy mouth. Add a small tongue inside. Teacher's Tip: Use a 'U' shape for the mouth to give Bluey that signature cheerful expression.

Step 3: Shaping the Head and Body

Outlining the main body and head shape of the Bluey character.

Outline the rounded, rectangular shape of the head and body. Add two curved eyebrows above the eyes. Teacher's Tip: Don't worry about perfect corners; Bluey is meant to look soft and rounded.

Step 4: Drawing the Arms

Adding arms and hands to the Bluey sketch.

Use 'U' shaped lines to create the fingers and add curved lines for the arms. Teacher's Tip: Keep the fingers small and close together to match the cartoon style.

Step 5: Sketching the Legs

Drawing the first leg and foot of Bluey.

Finish the body outline and extend two lines downward to form the first leg. Connect them with a curved foot. Teacher's Tip: Make sure the leg is long enough to keep the character balanced.

Step 6: Adding the Second Leg

Adding the second leg and toe details to the drawing.

Draw the second leg slightly behind the first. Add small curved lines at the tips of the feet for toes. Teacher's Tip: Adding those tiny toe lines makes the feet look much more realistic.

Step 7: Drawing the Ears

Adding triangular ears to the top of Bluey's head.

Add two triangles to the top of the head, with smaller triangles inside for the inner ears. Teacher's Tip: Keep the ears slightly rounded at the tips to match Bluey's soft look.

Step 8: Adding the Tail

Sketching a fluffy tail on the back of the character.

Draw a fluffy tail using overlapping 'U' shapes. Teacher's Tip: Start with a simple curve, then add the 'fluff' on top to give it texture.

Step 9: Adding Character Markings

Adding final spot markings to the Bluey character outline.

Draw the spots around the eyes, nose, and belly to complete the outline. Teacher's Tip: These markings are what make Bluey look like Bluey, so take your time with these curves.

Step 10: Bringing Bluey to Life with Color

Color your drawing using three shades of blue for the fur, and tan for the snout and inner ears. Teacher's Tip: Use light blue for the belly and hands, and a darker blue for the spots to get that perfect look!
