How to Draw a Knight: Step-by-Step for Kids

Medieval knights wore shining armour from head to toe and carried swords and shields. Here is how to draw a brave armoured knight ready for battle!

What You'll Need

  • Pencil
  • Eraser
  • Paper
  • Silver, grey, and red markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Helmet

Start with the knight's helmet — draw a dome shape for the top, then a wide rectangular visor section below. Add a narrow horizontal slit across the visor for the eye opening. Add small holes for ventilation along the lower face area.

Step 2: Draw the Gorget and Pauldrons

Below the helmet, draw a short neck collar (gorget) and then two large rounded shoulder plates (pauldrons) extending out to each side — these look like half-spheres on each shoulder.

Step 3: Draw the Breastplate

Draw a wide, slightly rounded rectangular breastplate covering the chest. Add a vertical centre line and a few horizontal rib lines to show the plate sections. Add the plackart (lower belly plate) below.

Step 4: Draw the Arms

Draw the armoured arms — each arm has a series of overlapping plate segments (rerebraces on the upper arm, vambraces on the lower arm) ending in gauntlet gloves with plated fingers.

Step 5: Draw the Sword Hand

On one side, draw the arm raised or extended, holding a sword. The sword has a long rectangular blade, a cross-shaped guard, and a cylindrical grip.

Step 6: Draw the Shield

On the other arm, draw a kite-shaped or heater-shaped shield. Add a heraldic symbol on the shield face — a cross, lion, or dragon are classic choices.

Step 7: Draw the Legs

Below the body, draw armoured legs — cuisses (thigh plates), then poleyns (knee caps), then greaves (shin plates), ending in pointed sabatons (armoured shoes).

Step 8: Add Metal Details

Add rivets (small dots) at the joints of each armour plate. Add a plume or feather on top of the helmet. Draw highlight lines on the rounded parts of the armour to show the polished metal surface.

Adding Colour

Silver and grey for the armour plates. Add bright red or blue for the shield heraldry. A coloured tabard (cloth over the armour) can add your knight's house colours. The visor eye slit is dark inside.

Tips from Parikshet

  • The key to armour is the overlapping plates — each plate slightly covers the one below it like scales.
  • Highlight lines on the dome shapes (helmet, pauldrons) make the metal look shiny and three-dimensional.
  • Design your own heraldic shield symbol — every knight had a unique one!
