Draw a Farmer
By combining the easy-to-follow steps and copying the illustrations, you can perfect your farmer drawing skills. For the moment, it's a man farmer. (Perhaps you can lend wikiHow a hand and add some female farmer illustrations at a later stage.)
Steps
- Draw a head for the farmer. Draw a semi-circle in the same style as a smile. Add eyes, nose and mouth. Add a hat at the top of the semi-circle and don't forget to add the ears. In the example, we've added a mustache to make the farmer look older - you can have a young farmer if you'd prefer. Or, you might like to add pigtails and a Cupid's bow mouth to create a female farmer at this point.
- Draw the farmer's body. Remember, clothing details like the bib overall and the knee patch are essential for making him (or her) look like a farmer and not just an ordinary person on the street.
- Draw some kind of farmer's tool. A pitchfork is very symbolic and immediately communicates that this is a farmer (either that, or he's the devil). Again, the details are everything, so don't forget the patch and perhaps a straw being chewed in the mouth.
- Color it. If you feel like it, color your drawing.
Tips
- Also adding a pocket with a little cuff on the top with a few hay tufts coming out of it helps to add effect.
- Experiment with different eyes and facial expressions to personalize the farmer.
- Take your time, don't be impatient. Drawing is supposed to be fun. It may take a few times copying the illustrations before you find your own style.
