Drawing the Simpson Family
Have you ever watched The Simpsons and wished you could draw your favorite characters? Well, you can! Drawing the Simpson family is easy if you break the process down into its basic shapes. You don’t need to be an artist to do this, it will only take some of your time and patience. Here’s how you can draw these beloved characters in no time.
Drawing Homer
Homer is the most important character in the Simpson family. He is the head of the family and has a unique look. Start your drawing with a circle as the head. Then draw a large oval for the belly, two tear drop shapes for the eyes, a curved line at the top for the brows and an upside down triangle for the mouth. Add a few more lines for the hair and a couple for the eyebrows and you have Homer, the father of them all.
Drawing Marge
Marge is the sweet and caring mother of the family. To draw Marge, start with an oval for the head and add two tear drop shapes for the eyes, a curved line for the brows and an upside down U-curve for the mouth. Her hair will be drawn using zig zag lines and then draw a long circular shape with two tears drop shapes on top and one tear drop shape at the bottom to make the hair look bouncy and curly.
Drawing Bart
Bart is the elfish and mischievous brother of the Simpson family. To draw Bart start with a circle for the head, two circles for the eyes, an oval for the snout, a couple of curved lines for the brows and an upside down U-curve for the mouth. For the hair, just draw a couple of zig zag lines at the top of the head, and two straight lines on either side of the head for his ears.
Drawing Lisa
Lisa is the intelligent and quirky sister of the family. Drawing Lisa is just like drawing Bart, only her head will be a bit smaller and with a rounder chin. Use two curved lines for the eyebrows and an upside down U-curve for the mouth. For Lisa’s hair, draw two swirls on top, one on each side of the head. Then draw a couple of curved lines towards the back of the head.
Drawing Maggie
Maggie is the lovable, but slightly eerie baby of the family. To draw Maggie, you will need to start with a circle for the head, two circles for the eyes, a curved line for the mouth and two curved lines for the eyebrows. For her hair, just draw a couple of curved lines on top of the head and a couple of curved lines towards the back of the head.
Drawing Grampa Simpson
Grampa Simpson is the elder of the Simpson family. He is grumpy and curmudgeonly, yet lovable. To draw Grampa, use an oval for the head and two tear drop shapes for the eyes, an upside down U-shape for the mouth and two curved lines for the eyebrows. Then draw a few wiggly lines on the top of the head to make the hair look like it’s in disarray.
Drawing Grandma Simpson
Grandma Simpson is the matriarch of the Simpson family and the foil to Grampa’s grouchy attitude. To draw Grandma, start with an oval for the head and two tear drop shaped eyes. Then draw a curved line for the brows, an upside down U-curve for the mouth and a couple of curved lines for the wrinkles. For her hair, draw a few wavy lines at the top and a couple of curved lines at the back of the head for some volume.
Tools you need
Now that you know how to draw the Simpson family, all that’s left to do is gather the materials you will need. You’ll need some paper, either regular paper or a thicker heavy duty paper. You’ll also need some pencils or markers, erasers, and maybe some colored pencils if you want to color your characters. Just make sure you have the right tools and you will be well on your way to creating the perfect Simpson family portrait.
