Step-by-Step Easy Clown Tutorial
Start by drawing a large circle for the clown’s big, round face.
Draw a small dome hat sitting right on top of the head.
Draw big, puffy curly hair poofing out on both sides of the head.
Draw two large, round circles on the cheeks for the classic clown rosy cheeks.
Draw a big, round ball nose right in the center of the face. This is the clown’s most famous feature!
Draw two large oval eyes with small dots for pupils above the nose.
Draw a very wide, curved smile stretching from cheek to cheek. Make it a big, happy grin!
Draw a bow tie directly below the chin, and add a small flower on the hat!
Color your clown with bright rainbow colors — a red nose, blue hair, yellow hat, and a colorful bow tie! What a fun drawing!
Big and Bold: Clown features are exaggerated on purpose — draw the nose, cheeks, and smile bigger than you think you should for that classic circus look.
Symmetry Check: Keep the cheeks, eyes, and hair puffs even on both sides of the face to keep the clown looking friendly and balanced.
