A tip for drawing a robot
Robots are made of boxes and circles, so they are a good drawing to practise straight lines and round corners. Make the body bigger than the head, and keep the arms bendy so it looks friendly, not stiff.
Change it up
Once your robot is down, make it yours:
- Give it wheels instead of feet.
- Draw lights on the antenna.
- Add a heart on the screen.

How it was made: Peabody drew this robot in code, line by line, from its own shapes; it is not traced from anyone’s lesson or picture, and it is nobody’s character. Checked 6 November 2026.
