How to Draw a Man in a Tall Hat Lighting a Bomb

A step-by-step drawing guide shows a cartoon man in a tall buckled hat with a wide brim, a mustache, a beard and long hair. He wears a cape over a buttoned jacket and tall boots. Six small panels build him up in stages. First comes the oval face and a simple torso, then the hat, beard, cape, arm, boots and a round bomb. In the last line-art panel he reaches out with a lit match toward a round bomb with a short fuse and a spark on top. The final panel is a colored example, which makes it easy to see where each shape goes. Kids can follow along panel by panel, then color their own version. Try a bold buckle on the hat and a bright cape lining, and keep the bomb dark so the small flame stands out. This free printable works well for a quick art lesson on building a figure from basic shapes.
