Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
One of the most important parts of an astronaut’s suit is their helmet, as it allows them to see what they’re doing when performing different missions.
This is the part where we will start in this first step of our how to draw an astronaut tutorial. To start, we will draw the window in front of the mask.
This part of the window can be drawn as a rounded square, and then we will draw the rest of the helmet around it.
Use some more curves and then add some small whiskers to the top corners of the helmet.
Then finish with a small flat shape on top of the helmet. Once all these parts are drawn, we can move on to the second step of the tutorial.
Step 2
Now let’s draw the chest of the astronaut suit and add the details
The helmet outline of this astronaut drawing is complete, and now you can add some details to it along with the chest part of the spacesuit.
For the helmet, we’ll add some thin, curved shapes to the window to make it look a bit more reflective.
Then we’ll start the chest part of the suit. You can start by drawing a thin brim at the base of the helmet.
Then draw some curved lines going down from this rim to form a rounded square for the chest.
Accomplish this by drawing another square inside the chest and then adding some thin shapes to where the arms will be later.
Step 3
Draw my arms outstretched
For the next part of our tutorial on how to draw an astronaut, we will draw an astronaut’s arm.
The arms of the spacesuit are made up of several parts, as this gives them more flexibility. Sections will be small and square with thin, round shapes between sections.
At the end, you can draw a small circular part that goes over the wrist and then draw the attached fingers separately, as shown in the reference image.
Even the fingers will be separated into smaller sections so they can be bent more.
Step 4
Next, draw the starting point of his legs
Now we can start drawing this astronaut’s legs in this step. Like the other sections, the leg will be divided into several different sections.
Like the arms, these will be thin and rectangular with smaller circles in between them. Now we will draw up to the astronaut’s knee.
In the next step of the tutorial, we’ll finalize the legs and every last detail so you’re ready for this tutorial!
Step 5
Add final details to your astronaut drawing
You’re almost ready to have fun coloring, but first, we have some final details to add to this step of the astronaut drawing tutorial.
The main aspect will be perfecting the astronaut’s legs. To do this, add some rectangular sections below the knees.
Then use some circles for the top of his boots. The underside of the boot will be oval in shape with horizontal lines.
You can also add some simple line detail throughout the suit, then draw the bottom of the backpack underneath his arms.
Once this is done, you can then end up with your own details and ideas!
One idea is to draw the background, and if you can do that, you can design an amazing space background for the astronaut.
Would you choose such a wallpaper or create a new one of your own?
Step 6
Complete your astronaut drawing with color
This is the final step of this astronaut drawing and in this step you can finish your work with some color. In our reference image, we used a more realistic and deeper color palette.
We keep the colors mostly gray, and then we also incorporate some blues. You can choose the same colors, or you can change things up completely by using some unique colors!
