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.

How to Draw Nobita: Step-by-Step for Kids

Grab your pencil and let's draw together with Parikshet — it's Nobita from Doraemon, one of the most loved cartoon characters!

What You'll Need

  • Pencil (HB or 2B)
  • Eraser
  • White paper
  • Black marker
  • Coloured pencils or crayons (skin tone, white, blue, black)

Step-by-Step: Drawing Nobita

Step 1: Draw the Head

Start near the top-centre of your paper. Draw a large oval — slightly taller than it is wide. This is Nobita's big, round head. Make it about the size of a tennis ball on your paper.

Step 2: Add the Round Glasses

In the middle of the face, draw two large, perfectly round circles side by side — these are Nobita's iconic thick glasses. They should be big, taking up a lot of the face. Add a small bridge connecting them in the centre.

Step 3: Draw the Eyes and Features

Inside each glasses circle, draw a small dot for each eye. Just below the glasses, draw a small curved line for the nose. Add a wide, gentle smile below it. Nobita's expression is usually cheerful and a little silly.

Step 4: Draw the Ears and Hair

Add two small half-circle ears on the sides of the head. On top, draw Nobita's simple hair — just a few short spiky strokes across the top of the head, slightly parted to the right.

Step 5: Draw the Body

Below the head, draw a rectangular body — shorter than the head. Nobita wears a white shirt. Add a small collar at the neck and a horizontal line near the bottom for his shirt hem.

Step 6: Add Arms and Hands

Draw two arms hanging down from the sides of the body. Each arm ends in a rounded hand shape with four small fingers. Nobita's arms are thin and simple.

Step 7: Draw the Legs and Shoes

Below the body, draw two short legs in blue shorts. Add simple rounded shoes at the bottom — slightly large and round, like cartoon shoes.

Step 8: Outline and Clean Up

Trace over all your lines with a black marker. Make the glasses frames thick and bold. Erase all pencil guidelines for a clean final sketch.

Colouring Your Nobita

Leave the shirt white. Colour the shorts blue. Use a light skin tone for the face, ears, and hands. The glasses frames are black and thick. Add black dot eyes inside the glasses.

Parikshet's Tips

  • The glasses are what make Nobita look like Nobita — make them big and round, not small.
  • Keep the body simple and shorter than the head for that classic Doraemon cartoon style.
  • Practice makes perfect!
