Drawing of Cupid
A Cupid lesson for Elementary Students
No Valentine drawing collection would be complete without a lesson for how to draw Cupid, right? The only question is, which kind of Cupid should it be? If you do a quick Google search, you’ll find there are many that are cute, but have little or no clothing (no thanks!) or those in complicated poses. Most early elementary students are just figuring out how to draw bodies, and are not ready for a 3/4 view of a person with bent arms holding a bow and arrow.
The option I created here is a Cupid figure with a side view, so the arms are leg are easy to see. The face and is very simple, and has a cartoon element added for some extra fun.
The one new skill students can learn, is how to add some extra curves on those arms and legs, to give Cupid his famous chubby “baby” look. One lesson per drawing project is more than enough to take on, when you are just starting out learning how to draw.
