How to Draw an Astronaut

Draw a friendly astronaut one step at a time with this printable drawing guide. Kids can follow the sequence and finish with a spacesuit of their own design.

Your printable

A one-page black-and-white PDF with eight numbered drawing stages, showing how to build an astronaut from the helmet shape through the finished spacesuit.

How to use it

1. Print the guide and set out a separate sheet of drawing paper.
2. Start with step one and add the new lines shown in each numbered picture.
3. Go over the finished drawing and color the spacesuit. Add stars or a planet around the astronaut if you like.

Use a pencil first so children can adjust their shapes as they draw. They can work through the steps at their own pace, then try drawing another astronaut with different colors or details.

Printing tips

Print in portrait orientation and check the preview before printing. Use “Fit to printable area” if the border is clipped. Regular printer paper works well; cardstock is an option for a sturdier finished project.
