How to Draw Kamala Harris
Learn how to draw Kamala Harris, our current Vice President, an amazing woman who has broken a long list of glass ceilings.
Now students who are learning about our countries history have some help in learning how to draw Kamala Harris. She is an American politician and attorney serving as the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the United States’ first female vice president, the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president.
Kamala was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California. She is the daughter of immigrants—her father from Jamaica, and her mother from India. Harris and her sister were raised in the San Francisco Bay area of California, where they attended a Baptist church and a Hindu temple.
In 2019, Kamala released an illustrated children’s book titled, Superheroes Are Everywhere. In the book, she writes about how heroism has more to do with choice and character than capes. “Heroes stand up for what is right. Who stands up for what is right in your life?” the book poses.

- Drawing Paper. Don’t substitute it with copy paper or construction paper. The surface will get fuzzy, erasing might cause holes, and the colors will generally not look as bright. *affiliate link
- Stabilo Markers. The large pack provides lots of fun color choices, several shades of each color, including a few choices for skin. The tips are perfect for coloring, and there’s even a promise that they will work after being uncapped for 8 weeks! *affiliate link
- Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. *affiliate link
- Black Sharpie Marker. Great for making a crisp outline to your drawing. Use them when you want your outline show up, but not be so heavy that it detracts from other things. *affiliate link
