Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Face Shape

Start by sketching Beast Boy’s face. Use a wide “U” shaped line for the chin and cheeks. Then, outline the hair at the top using jagged, curved lines. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil strokes very light here so you can easily erase the guidelines later!

Step 2: Adding the Ears

Close up of the character's head with pointed ears added to the sides.

Draw Beast Boy’s ears by extending two curved lines from the sides of the head that meet at a point. Add a small curved line inside to show the ear fold. Teacher's Tip: Try to make both ears symmetrical to keep his head looking balanced.

Step 3: Completing the Hairline

The completed outline of Beast Boy's spiky hair connecting the ears.

Connect the ears to the hair tufts using a series of curved lines. This creates his signature messy, energetic hairstyle. Teacher's Tip: Use short, quick strokes to give the hair a more natural, spiky texture.

Step 4: Sketching the Arm and Glove

Drawing of Beast Boy's arm and hand wearing a glove.

Extend a curved line down from the head for the arm. Draw a four-sided shape for the wrist and add the fingers and thumb using overlapping curves. Teacher's Tip: Focus on the glove's boxy shape to capture his superhero style.

Step 5: Defining the Torso and Legs

Basic outline of the torso and leg placement for the character.

Enclose the torso with a curved line and draw three nearly straight lines to map out the legs. Teacher's Tip: Keep these lines loose; they are just placeholders for the body's structure.

Step 6: Adding the Belt and Shoes

Detailed drawing of the belt and shoes added to the character's body.

Draw a rectangle for the belt and add the shoes at the bottom. Use curved rectangles for the shoe tongues. Teacher's Tip: Adding the belt details helps ground the character and makes him look like a real hero.

Step 7: Drawing the Second Arm

Adding the second arm and glove to the character's torso.

Use 'V' shaped lines to draw the other arm, bent at the elbow. Enclose the wrist and glove to match the first one. Teacher's Tip: Check that the glove size matches the first one for consistency.

Step 8: Sketching the Eyebrows and Sockets

Adding the eyebrows and eye sockets to the face outline.

Sketch curved, triangular shapes for the eyebrows and oval-shaped eye sockets beneath them. Teacher's Tip: The eyebrows convey his personality—make them slightly angled to give him that confident Beast Boy look.

Step 9: Final Facial Details

Detailed facial features including eyes, nose, and mouth added to the character.

Add the pupils, nostrils, and his signature grin. Include a tongue and tooth inside the mouth. Teacher's Tip: Take your time on the eyes—they are the most important part of capturing his expression!

Step 10: Bringing Him to Life with Color
