Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Mecha
How to Draw a Great Looking Mecha for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing the robot's head. Use a curved line to draw an inverted teardrop shape. Then, extend horizontal curved lines from its top and bottom.
Connect these with a curved line. Next, draw a curved line and a "V" shaped line across the front of the face, outlining the "eyes."

2. Continue to detail the head. Draw an irregular rounded shape overlapping the side of the head. Extend a pair of curved lines upward from the shape, and allow them to meet at a sharp point.
Draw a similar triangular horn emerging from the opposite side of the head. Then, use a series of straight lines to enclose a quadrilateral shape at the front of the face.

Learn More About The Mecha Drawing
In Japanese, the term mecha refers to a giant robot or machine that is controlled by humans. You can learn how to draw a mecha, design it, and color it to make it all your own.
"Mecha" is an abbreviation for the word "mechanical." Mechas are usually humanoid in shape but sometimes resemble animals instead.
Did you know? The term isn't limited to science fiction. It can also be used to describe real inventions by modern-day scientists.

Stories about mechas date back to the literature of the 1800s.
Some of the most famous mechas in fiction are the Gundam. Gundam are mobile suits that allow their occupants to enter outer space, fight one another, and use powerful weapons.
Similar fighting suits include the Knightmare Frames of the anime Code Geass, the Amplified Mobility Platforms (AMPS) used by the humans in the film Avatar, or the robots that face down the Kaiju in Pacific Rim.
Will your mecha represent the forces of good or evil? Will he succeed?
