How to Draw a Farmer

1. Begin by drawing the farmer's straw hat. Use a curved line to outline the wide brim, and another line within it to form the opening.

Use curved lines to enclose a rectangular shape on top of the hat, forming the part called the crown. Draw a line across the crown to indicate the hatband.

2. Next, draw the man's face. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the hair on the forehead, the nose and nostril, and the ear.

Connect these shapes with curved lines, thus outlining the face. Then, use curved lines to enclose the shape of the hair at the back of the head.

3. Enclose an oval for each eye. Draw a vertical curved line across it to indicate the pupil.

Then, draw a thick curved line above each eye to form the eyebrows. Use additional curved lines to trace the smiling mouth.

4. Begin sketching the collared shirt and overalls. Use curved lines to draw the neck, connected by a curved "V" shaped line. On each side of the "V," enclose the curved rectangular shapes of the collar.

Use curved lines to enclose a square shape below the collar, and draw a line down the center to indicate the placket or opening of the shirt.

On each side of the square, double a long line back upon itself and connect the ends. These are the shoulder straps of the overalls. Draw an oval at the bottom of each to indicate the button.

5. Draw the sleeve and arm. Use curved lines to outline the rectangular sleeve, the side of the shirt, and the slanted side of the overalls.

Then, use pairs of lines to draw the upper and lower arm. Enclose the round shape of the fist using overlapping curved lines.

6. Draw the remaining arm. Use curved lines to enclose the sleeve, the side of the overalls, the arm, and the thumb. Draw overlapping ovals to indicate the fingers.

7. Draw two narrow, diagonal rectangles on the front of the overalls, and connect them with a curved line. This forms the pocket. Then, use curved lines to draw the pant leg and the boot.

8. Use overlapping curved lines to create the remaining leg and boot. Note the lines that indicate folds in the fabric.

9. Draw a pitchfork in the hand of the farmer. Use straight, parallel lines for the pitchfork handle. Connect them at the bottom. From the top, extend three pairs of curved lines that meet at sharp points.
