How to Draw a Farmer

Last Updated: December 8, 2021

By combining the easy-to-follow steps and copying the illustrations, you can perfect your farmer drawing skills. For the moment, it's a man farmer. (Perhaps you can lend wikiHow a hand and add some female farmer illustrations at a later stage.)

Steps

1
Draw a head for the farmer. Draw a semi-circle in the same style as a smile. Add eyes, nose and mouth. Add a hat at the top of the semi-circle and don't forget to add the ears. In the example, we've added a mustache to make the farmer look older - you can have a young farmer if you'd prefer. Or, you might like to add pigtails and a Cupid's bow mouth to create a female farmer at this point.
2
Draw the farmer's body. Remember, clothing details like the bib overall and the knee patch are essential for making him (or her) look like a farmer and not just an ordinary person on the street.

3
Draw some kind of farmer's tool. A pitchfork is very symbolic and immediately communicates that this is a farmer (either that, or he's the devil). Again, the details are everything, so don't forget the patch and perhaps a straw being chewed in the mouth.
4
Color it. If you feel like it, color your drawing.

Draw a girl with pigtails or double braids first, and then draw suspenders and boots on her. A plaid shirt with a collar is good. Then, make a straw hat that has lines sticking out of the ends.
