Let’s dive into the world of drawing and learn how to draw a cartoon-style teacher together. Drawing people can be a challenging task, but let’s try to make it easy. Take a look at the collages, and you will see that the level of difficulty of this drawing is quite simple even for beginner artists.
In this guide, you first need to start drawing the shape of the head, then move on to the details of the head, and continue the process by drawing the body and legs. Also, our teacher in the drawing is in a pose where they are standing at the chalkboard with a school pointer in hand. In the other hand of our teacher is a book or notebook with information that they are teaching to their students.
We have known the profession of teachers since ancient times. In ancient states, such as Greece and Rome, teaching was highly valued in society, and teachers were considered as some of the most respected people in the society. These professionals were respected by society, because teachers performed one of the main functions—they taught future generations the initial skills and knowledge.
Over time, education has become increasingly accessible to various social classes and teachers have played an increasingly important role in people’s lives. Today, a teacher not only needs to know the school curriculum they teach, but also be able to inspire students and help them understand how to achieve success in the future, as well as be tolerant and respectful of others.
Let’s draw a cartoon teacher today—a symbol of knowledge, wisdom, and kindness. Let your cartoons be funny, intelligent, and positive, just like your favorite teachers themselves. Create with pleasure!

How to Draw a Teacher
- Prepare the head base.
Outline the shape of the teacher’s head, face, and ear.
- Add the details.
Detail your cartoon teacher’s face by drawing round glasses, eyes inside the glasses, and two curved eyebrow lines.
- Add parts of the face.
Draw the pointed nose, then add the beard and smile of a cartoon teacher
- Draw the hair.
First, draw the top part of the teacher’s hair using a wavy line, then extend a curved line to the neck and finish drawing the hair. Also, you need to draw the neck following the example from the step.
- Draw the torso.
Start by drawing the shape of the teacher’s torso, then detail the torso by adding the jacket’s collar.
- Draw the sleeves.
Extend lines from the shoulders to form the arms arched at the elbows.
- Depict the hands.
Now it’s time to draw the teacher’s hands. Please note that one hand should be holding a notebook, and the second in the form of holding a pointer.
- Draw the objects in hands.
Draw the rectangular tablet in the left hand, then draw the wooden pointer in the teacher’s other hand.
- Draw the pants.
Form the pants using straight lines as in the example.
- Draw the shoes.
Using simple curved lines, draw the shoes at the bottom of your teacher’s legs.
- Color the drawing.
If you drew with a pencil, we recommend using a black marker to trace the outlines. Then you can start the process of coloring the drawing with the help of coloring tools: crayons, colored pencils or water-based paints.
