Drawing a Clown – Model 1
The first drawing we’ll present will showcase the exaggerated features of a clown’s face. He’ll have a funny hat, big eyebrows, a voluminous mouth and curly hair. This design is perfect for children, as our clown will be smiling and full of color. 🎨
We recommend you bring a pencil, a black marker, a blank sheet of paper (or a drawing book) and colored pencils. You’ll need about an hour to make this pretty clown.
<1) The Nose
Let’s start at the center of the design by simply drawing the clown’s nose. A circle in the middle will be perfect.
2) The Eyes
The eyes are placed on either side of the nose. Let’s draw two large oval semicircles and two small circles in the center. 👀
3) The Head
Now let’s draw the head around the eyes and nose. The shape is free, but we recommend an oval shape as shown in the diagram below.
4) The Mouth
A banana-shaped mouth will give the clown an authentic appearance. 👄
5) The bust
Now that the face is formed, let’s draw our beloved clown’s bust. Let’s start with two strokes to form the neck, then add a prominent big bow tie as an accessory. Let’s finish with the shoulders.
6) Hair
Let’s add ears and beautiful curly hair. The more volume, the better!
7) The Hat
Now let’s draw the hat that simply sits on our prankster’s head. Let’s not forget to add a little flower for a cheerful touch to our dear clown. 💐
8) Finishes
Now let’s erase the little lines and strokes we used to draw clean contours. Let’s add our personal touch to the clown with accessories and symbols, such as polka dots on the bow tie!
9) The Color Scheme
Now all you have to do is color your clown! Choose the colors that suit you best. Here’s our finished drawing below. Don’t hesitate to give us your opinion in comments! 😃
Drawing Clown – Model 2
Our second clown is also fairly simple to draw, although it features more detail than the first. It’s suitable for children who are used to drawing. Once again, we’ll be making it step by step, with explanations at each stage.
1) The Head
Let’s start by creating a simple oval shape. This shape will be used to draw the head. You’ll notice that the top of the head is slightly more pointed and narrower than the base.
2) The Body
Next, let’s draw the body using a small rectangle. The arms and legs are also represented by small rectangles. The hands are formed by small circular shapes. ⚇
3) Hair and Feet
Now it’s time to add some hair to the head of our animated clown. You can use curved lines to create this shape. You can also draw the feet using a curved line and a straight line.🦶
4) The Face
Now let’s work on the face. Let’s start by adding the eyes and pupils with large circular shapes. The nose can also be drawn with a smaller circle. The area around the mouth is drawn with a curved rectangle, giving the appearance of a banana-shaped smile. 😬
5) Details
We can complete the work on this character by adding some oval shapes inside our drawing. The mouth is made up of a long curved line, and you can also add large buttons to your clown’s shirt.
6) Let’s admire the Result!
Congratulations! Here’s the final version of the character in black and white. If you’d like to color it to give it more life, then here we go!

Grab an eraser, a pencil, a blank sheet of paper (or a drawing notebook) and let’s start creating a magnificent circus clown drawing!

Find the middle of the body and divide it using two lines to create a belt. Then draw the eyebrows as curved arcs above the eyes. Don’t forget to draw the ears on either side of the head. 👂

Add pleats to the coat and shape the cuffs. Place a long curve in each oval button. Connect the inverted J shapes to an oval for the flower. Place a curve in each drop-shaped petal. 💐
