Step-by-Step Easy Alien Tutorial
Start by drawing a large, perfect circle in the upper middle area of your paper. This will be the alien’s head.
Draw two large, slanted ovals inside the head for those classic big alien eyes.
Draw two small curved eyebrows floating above the eyes, and a cute little curved smile.
On top of the head, draw two wiggly lines pointing outwards, and put a little circle at the end of each one.
Draw a rounded, bean-shaped body underneath the head. Then add two tiny feet at the bottom.
Draw two waving arms sticking out from the sides of the body, with three little alien fingers on each hand.
Draw a large oval ring going all the way around the alien’s body. Then draw a curved line underneath it to create the bottom of the flying saucer!
Draw some spots on the alien’s forehead, add highlights in the eyes, and stripe the antennae. Draw some dots on the UFO and a couple of floating stars.
Color your alien bright green. Color its shirt blue, and color the UFO dark gray with yellow glowing lights.
Big Eyes: The larger and more slanted the eyes, the more classic and recognizable your alien will look!
Glowing Lights: Add a few small yellow circles under the UFO to look like glowing landing lights — it makes the scene pop!
