Dear boys and girls! In this lesson we will tell you, how to draw a boy with a pencil step by step. Not every child will be able to learn how to draw a person the first time, and therefore we have divided the entire process into 8 stages. In any case, you should like our lesson, because with it you can learn how to draw a boy using a pencil.
STEP #1
We start by drawing a circle for the head, and then draw the outlines of the torso, arms and legs until a human figure appears, similar to the one you see here.
STEP #2
Now you should draw the entire shape of the face. It is necessary to sketch out the ear, eyebrows, hair and outlines of the eyes.
STEP #3
In this step we finish drawing the eyes of our boy, and then draw a simple nose and mouth.
STEP #4
At this stage we finish with the hairstyle as shown in the picture.
STEP #5
The next step is to draw the boy’s neck, as well as his torso, which will be hidden in a T-shirt with sleeves and a collar.
STEP #6
Now we draw the hands as shown in the picture.
STEP #7
Our boy is almost ready, and there is very little left. To do this, we finish drawing his legs, which will be hidden under his trousers. This is the easiest body part you'll need to draw, so you shouldn't have any difficulties.
STEP #8
At the last stage you need to draw shoes or feet. Don't forget to add soles for shoes. Now you can erase the lines and shapes you drew in the first step.
STEP #9
This is what your boy will look like when you're done. Now you can have even more fun when you start coloring it and end up with a finished beautiful picture. We hope you enjoyed our step-by-step lesson on how to draw a boy in pencil.
