Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing an Easy Cartoon Pirate
How to Draw a Great Looking Easy Cartoon Pirate for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the easy cartoon pirate outline by drawing the face. Draw two curved lines for the eyelids, and enclose half-circle-shaped eyes below them. Shade one semicircle, as it will become the eyepatch. Shade a small circle to indicate the pupil in the other.
Contour the eye with a short curved line below it, and draw a "C" shaped line for the nose.
Drawing Step 2
2. Draw a straight line above the face; this is the bottom of the pirate's hat. Above it, use a long wavy line to enclose the irregular shape of the hat. Want to make your pirate hat more detailed? Check out this pirate hat drawing guide.
Next, use a series of curved lines to sketch the outline of the face and ears. Use short lines from the hair above the ears and the frowning mouth.
