Hello Neighbor is a sneaky stealth game where you try to get into your mysterious neighbour’s house. The Neighbour himself is a great character to draw, with his big rounded nose, bushy moustache and that wide-eyed, slightly suspicious expression.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Black pen for outlines
  • Red and orange markers for his shirt
  • Skin tone and grey for hair

How to Draw the Hello Neighbor Character Step by Step

  1. Draw a rounded head — wide and slightly egg-shaped.
  2. Add the big nose — a large rounded nose right in the centre of the face.
  3. Draw the bushy moustache — a thick curved shape under the nose.
  4. Add the wide eyes — two big round eyes for his alarmed, watchful look.
  5. Add the eyebrows — raised brows that make him look surprised or suspicious.
  6. Draw the hair — short hair around the sides, often a bit balding on top.
  7. Sketch the body — a chunky torso in his bright shirt.
  8. Colour it in — red or orange shirt, grey hair and moustache.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Make the nose and moustache nice and big — they’re the Neighbour’s most recognisable features, so don’t draw them too small or neat.

🌟 Did You Know?

Hello Neighbor uses clever computer code so the Neighbour ‘learns’ from how you play — if you keep sneaking in the same way, he starts setting traps where you usually go.

Capturing the Neighbour’s Look

  • Big round nose — the centre of his face.
  • Bushy moustache — thick and curved.
  • Wide watchful eyes — always on the lookout.
  • Bright shirt — usually red or orange.

🎯 Try This: a sneaky scene

  1. Draw the Neighbour peering round a doorway.
  2. Add a window with you hiding behind it.
  3. Draw a little key or a locked door.
  4. Give him a suspicious raised eyebrow.

Get your pencil ready! Follow these easy steps and you'll have an amazing Hello Neighbour drawing in no time.

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black marker (optional, for outlines)
  • Coloured pencils or crayons

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Hello Neighbour

Step 1: Sketch the Basic Outline

Begin with a very light pencil sketch of the Hello Neighbour's overall shape. What is the biggest, simplest shape that describes it — a rectangle, oval, or triangle?

Step 2: Add the Main Structure

Build on the basic outline by adding the main structural elements of the Hello Neighbour. Break it down into simple geometric shapes.

Step 3: Draw the Key Features

Add the most important identifying features that make this recognisably a Hello Neighbour. These are the details that someone would notice first.

Step 4: Add Secondary Details

Now add the secondary details — textures, patterns, smaller parts. These build up the drawing gradually and give it character.

Step 5: Refine the Outline

Go back to the outline and refine any shapes that don't look right. Compare the proportions to a reference image if you have one.

Step 6: Add Depth with Lines

Add shading lines or cross-hatching on the darker side of the Hello Neighbour to create the impression of three dimensions.

Step 7: Trace with Marker

Once happy with your pencil drawing, carefully trace the final lines with a black marker or pen. Let it dry, then erase all pencil marks underneath.

Step 8: Colour Your Drawing

Apply colour to your Hello Neighbour, working from the largest areas first. Leave white areas uncoloured — the paper's white works as your lightest tone.

Colouring Your Hello Neighbour

Use real reference images as a guide for the Hello Neighbour's colours. Start with a base colour and add darker shading on one side to give a 3D feel.

Tips from Parikshet

  • Break the Hello Neighbour into simple shapes first — even complex subjects are just combinations of circles, rectangles, and triangles!
  • Don't try to make it perfect on the first try — Parikshet always does at least two practice sketches before the final drawing.
  • Practice makes perfect — try drawing it again tomorrow!
