Drawing Boss Baby
Draw Boss Baby using simple shapes, sketch facial features and expressions, then color and add a background to practice proportion and shading.
Step-by-step guide to draw Boss Baby
Step 1
Gather your materials and find a comfy drawing spot.
Step 2
Draw a large circle near the top of the paper for Boss Baby's head.
Step 3
Draw a small rectangle or oval directly under the head for the body.
Step 4
Lightly draw a vertical centerline and a horizontal eye line across the head to guide placement.
Step 5
Sketch the facial features by drawing two eyes on the eye line a small nose below and a confident smile under the nose.
Step 6
Add eyebrows above the eyes and small ears at the sides to show expression.
Step 7
Draw a simple hair swoop on top of the head to give Boss Baby his look.
Step 8
Draw the suit by sketching V-shaped lapels and a small rectangle for the tie on the body.
Step 9
Lightly erase the guiding lines so only your important sketch remains.
Step 10
Trace your final lines with a black marker or pen to make the drawing bold.
Step 11
Add light pencil shading on the face and suit where shadows would fall to create depth.
Step 12
Colour your Boss Baby and the page using your colouring materials using darker shades near edges for extra shading.
Step 13
Add a simple background like an office or a crib behind Boss Baby to complete the scene.
Step 14
Share your finished creation on DIY.org

Help!?
What can I use if I don't have a black marker or pen to trace the final lines?
Use a fine-tip crayon, colored pencil, gel pen, or dark watercolor brush to trace your final lines instead of the black marker or pen in the "Trace your final lines" step.
My eyes look uneven after I erase the guide lines—how can I fix them?
Refer back to the "Lightly draw a vertical centerline and a horizontal eye line" step, redraw the eyes aligned on the eye line, and lightly erase and correct before tracing to keep them symmetrical.
How can I change this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, give them a pre-drawn large circle head and small rectangle body to colour and skip the light guiding lines and shading, while older kids can add detailed V-shaped lapels, precise hair swoop, and the light pencil shading and background complexity from the instructions.
Any ideas to make the finished Boss Baby more unique or impressive?
Add personalized details like a tiny briefcase, a name banner, textured suit patterns, darker edge shading when colouring, or a themed background (office or crib) as suggested, then share the result on DIY.org.

👶 Cartoon babies are drawn with proportionally larger heads and eyes to look cuter, which is why Boss Baby’s head looks big compared to his suit.
