How to Draw an American Football Helmet: Step-by-Step for Kids
The football helmet is one of the coolest-looking pieces of sports equipment. Here is how to draw one with a face guard, chinstrap, and team colours!
What You'll Need
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Paper
- Coloured markers and metallic gold or silver
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Draw the Helmet Shell
Draw a large dome shape — like a half-circle sitting on a flat bottom edge. This is the hard outer shell of the helmet. Make it nice and round at the top.
Step 2: Add the Ear Hole and Chin Area
On the side of the helmet, draw a circular ear hole cut-out. At the bottom of the shell, draw the lower edge that wraps around the jaw, ending just below where the chin would be.
Step 3: Draw the Face Mask
From the front lower edge of the helmet, draw the face guard — a series of rounded rectangular bars. Draw two vertical bars and two horizontal bars forming a cage in front of the face opening.
Step 4: Add the Chinstrap
Draw a curved strap coming down from each side of the helmet and meeting under the chin. Add a small rectangular buckle clasp at the bottom centre.
Step 5: Draw the Visor (Optional)
Just above the face mask opening, draw a curved tinted visor — a thin curved rectangle following the brow line of the helmet. Many players use dark or mirrored visors.
Step 6: Add the Team Logo
On the side of the helmet, draw your team logo or a star. NFL helmets always have a team emblem on both sides. Design your own logo if you like!
Step 7: Draw the Helmet Stripes
Draw one or two stripes running from front to back along the top of the dome. Many classic football helmets have a single stripe down the centre from front to back.
Step 8: Add Shine and Dimension
On the upper-left area of the dome, draw a curved highlight shape to show the shiny plastic shell reflecting light. Add dark shading along the right and bottom edges.
Adding Colour
Choose your favourite team colours or invent your own! The face mask and hardware are typically grey or silver. Add a metallic sheen to the helmet shell by shading one side darker.
Tips from Parikshet
- The face mask cage is the most complex part — draw it last after the rest of the helmet is done.
- The shine highlight on the dome is what makes the helmet look 3D and plastic — don't skip it.
- Draw a number on the side of the helmet to make it look like a real game helmet!
