Nobita from Doraemon is one of the most beloved anime characters in Asia — his round glasses, messy hair, and simple expression make him surprisingly easy to draw. Parikshet walks you through an outline sketch that captures his most distinctive features.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil HB and 2B
  • Eraser
  • White drawing paper
  • Black pen for the final outline

How to Draw Nobita Outline Step by Step

  1. Draw the head — a large round circle for Nobita's face. His head is almost perfectly circular.
  2. Add the hair — a simple fringe at the top: a few straight lines coming down onto the forehead. One iconic hair spike sticking up at the back.
  3. Draw the glasses — two large round circles for the lens frames, connected by a thin nose bridge. Nobita's glasses are thick and round — they are his most recognisable feature.
  4. Add the face — small dot eyes behind the glasses, a simple curved nose line, and a small mouth.
  5. Sketch the ear — one visible ear on the side, with inner ear detail.
  6. Draw the neck and collar — a simple short neck and the collar of his school uniform.
  7. Add the uniform — Nobita wears a yellow shirt and blue shorts in the anime. Sketch the collar and shoulder lines.
  8. Outline in pen — go over the pencil sketch with a black pen, then gently erase the pencil guidelines.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Nobita's round glasses are drawn BEFORE the eyes — draw the glasses circles first, then add the tiny dot eyes inside them. This keeps the proportions right.
