How to Draw Mbappé Step by Step

  1. Sketch the action pose — Mbappé in full sprint: one leg driving forward, the other pushing off behind, arms pumping.
  2. Build the body — athletic build, slim but powerful. Add oval shapes over the stick figure.
  3. Draw the head and face — Mbappé has a distinctive round face, with short hair close to the head and a strong jaw.
  4. Add the kit — France blue shirt with the FFF crest and number 7 on the back, or PSG's red and blue. White shorts.
  5. Draw the football boots — low-cut speed boots with distinctive stud pattern on the sole.
  6. Add the ball — at his feet or mid-kick, with the classic pentagon/hexagon panel pattern.
  7. Draw the celebration pose alternative — arms crossed over the chest (his signature goal celebration) is a simpler pose than the running figure.
  8. Add kit details — captain's armband, sponsor logos (simplified), sock tape.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Mbappé's celebration — arms crossed over the chest with hands touching opposite shoulders — is his most recognisable pose and easier to draw than a running figure. Start there if the action pose feels too complex.
