Step-by-Step Instructions

Sketching the Torso Base

A simple curved line representing the top shoulder area of Baymax's torso.

Start by drawing a soft, curved line to outline the top of Baymax's torso. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil pressure light so you can easily adjust the shape if it looks a bit lopsided.

Closing the Torso Shape

The completed rounded torso outline of the robot character.

Continue the line downward and around to fully enclose the torso. Tip: Think of drawing a large, rounded bean shape; Baymax is all about soft, friendly curves!

Adding the Head

A small horizontal oval placed on top of the torso to represent Baymax's head.

Draw a small, horizontal oval overlapping the top of the torso. Tip: Keep the head small compared to the body to capture Baymax's gentle, oversized appearance.

Drawing the First Arm

One arm extended with rounded fingers drawn using U-shaped lines.

Use long, curved lines to extend the arm outward, finishing with small 'U' shapes for the fingers. Tip: Make the fingers rounded rather than pointy to keep him looking soft and huggable.

Cleaning Up the Lines

Carefully erase the overlapping lines where the head and arm meet the torso. Tip: Use a clean eraser and gentle strokes to avoid smudging your paper.

Drawing the Second Arm

Both arms now visible on the Baymax drawing.

Repeat the process for the other arm, using long curves and 'U' shapes for the fingers. Tip: Try to match the thickness of the first arm to keep him symmetrical.

Adding the First Leg

The first leg added to the bottom of the torso with a flat foot base.

Use curved lines to enclose the first leg, keeping the bottom edge slightly flat. Tip: The flat bottom helps Baymax look like he is standing firmly on the ground.

Adding the Second Leg

Both legs completed, showing the full body silhouette of Baymax.

Draw the second leg using similar curved lines. Tip: Ensure the legs are spaced apart to give him a stable, balanced stance.

Adding Facial and Body Details

Detailed view showing the eyes, chest chip, and joint markings on Baymax.

Draw two small circles for eyes connected by a straight line. Add circular details on the elbows, hips, and chest. Tip: Use a fine-liner or a sharp pencil for these smaller details to keep them neat.

Final Shading and Coloring

The finished Baymax drawing with soft shading to emphasize his rounded form.

Baymax is primarily white, but use light gray shading along the edges to give him a 3D, rounded look. Tip: Use a blending stump or your finger to soften the gray shading for a smooth, robotic finish.
