How to draw a clown
Greetings, Circus Doodle Enthusiasts! Today, we're honking our noses in honor of a classic entertainer – the clown!
Step 1
Start your clown with one circle.
Step 2
Add two big circles for eyes and two half circles for his ears.
Step 3
Add a big, floppy nose, two lines on either side for his facepaint, and a circle below his chin for his tie knot.
Step 4
Add it some fluffy hair, a mouth with horse teeth, some pupils, and add the bows to his tie.
Step 5
Now color in your Mr. Giggles with any bright, fun colors you want!
That doofy clown looks like he’s ready to tie some balloons!
Let's dive into some fun and silly facts about clowns.
Ancient Fools: The tradition of clowning goes back thousands of years. Ancient Greek and Roman theaters often had a clownish character to lighten the mood.
Variety of Clowns: Did you know there are many types of clowns? From classic whiteface clowns to comedy-only Auguste clowns, the clowning world is a rainbow of laughs!
Clown College: Aspiring clowns often attend specialized schools, known as Clown Colleges, to learn juggling, acrobatics, mime, and other clowning skills. Homework must be hilarious!
Clown Nose: The clown's red nose is the smallest mask in the world, symbolizing vulnerability and inviting people to laugh, making your doodled clown a beacon of joy!
Coulrophobia: While clowns are generally symbols of fun and humor, fear of clowns, known as Coulrophobia, is actually quite common. But remember, your doodled clown is all fun, and no fear!
At DoofyDoodles, we're about embracing the joy, silliness, and whimsy of doodling. So grab your brightest colors and let's bring a fun clown to life! Stay tuned for more drawing guides and fun facts or you can visit our Goodies page for some more drawing lessons!
