Step-by-Step: Drawing Terry Fox Running

Step 1: Draw the Head

Draw a small oval for Terry's head. He had curly hair — draw a fluffy, uneven cloud shape around the top and sides of the oval for his distinctive curls.

Step 2: Sketch the Torso

Draw a slim rectangle for the torso, leaning slightly forward. Terry ran in a grey T-shirt with "Marathon of Hope" on it. Draw a simple rounded collar at the top.

Step 3: Draw the Running Stride

Draw one leg bent at the knee coming forward, and one leg extended back behind him. The back leg — the prosthetic — draw it straighter and stiffer than the natural leg.

Step 4: Draw the Prosthetic Leg Detail

The prosthetic lower leg is a straight cylinder ending in a foot shape. Draw it slightly different from the natural leg — straighter, with a subtle horizontal line at the knee joint to show the mechanical connection.

Step 5: Draw the Arms

Terry's arms pump as he runs. Draw one arm swinging forward, bent at the elbow, and the other sweeping back. Add a simple fist at the end of each forearm.

Step 6: Add the Face

Draw determined eyes looking ahead, a strong nose, and a slightly open mouth — he's running hard. Terry's face shows strength and hope even in pain.

Step 7: Add the Road and Background

Draw a simple road beneath his feet with two parallel lines. Add a few small pebbles. In the background, sketch distant trees or a horizon line to show the long journey ahead.

Step 8: Outline and Colour

Outline in black marker. Colour his shirt grey, shorts dark grey, skin tone for the face and natural leg, and slightly cooler grey for the prosthetic leg.

Colouring Tips

Keep colours simple and dignified. The prosthetic leg can be a cooler metallic grey than the natural skin to distinguish them clearly.

Parikshet's Tips

  • The two different legs are the key detail that shows this is Terry Fox — take your time drawing them differently.
  • Add "Marathon of Hope" text on the shirt if you can — it makes the drawing instantly recognisable.
  • Practice every day and you'll get better!
