Do you love Mr. Peabody? Now you can learn how to draw Mr. Peabody with this easy to follow drawing infographic.
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to get a closer look at the making of Mr. Peabody & Sherman during a visit to LA provided by DreamWorks Animation and 20th Century Fox. While I was there I had the opportunity to meet with the some of the cast, producers and the director, Rob Minkoff.
One of the most fascinating aspects of an animated movie, to me anyway, is that everything is drawn. Coming from someone who can’t draw a normal-looking stick figure, I think these artists are so incredibly talented.
One of the activities I took part in while I was there was a short art direction class. During this class we were taught how to draw Mr. Peabody. I found this class to be really fun because it gave me step-by-step instructions. My finished piece somewhat resembled Mr. Peabody.
Keep in mind y’all…I have a hard time drawing stick figures.
Clearly, I wouldn’t make it as an animator, but I’m pretty proud of my Mr. Peabody. And I think I shaved a few pounds off of him. That’s always a good thing.
Even though you couldn’t be at the event with me, I wanted to share this fun tutorial on how to draw Mr. Peabody. This makes it easy, even for those like me who have the hardest time drawing anything. I know mine is far from perfect, but at least you can tell it’s supposed to be Mr. Peabody.
Mr. Peabody & Sherman will be in theaters on March 7th.
If you draw your own Mr. Peabody, I’d love to see it. Make sure to tweet it using the #MrPeabodyEvent hashtag and include @simplybeingmom. I can’t wait to see your creation.

I think you did a darn fine job of it! It’s amazing when you think it can all be broken down into steps like that.

I thought your Mr. Peabody was really good!! You do have the skills. My son would love to take an animator class. He loves to draw.
Amber Edwards says
Those “How to draw” shots are super fun and cute. But my renditions never turn out that amazing. lol.
Donna says
Okay, now I’m going to get some drawing paper and give it a try. I’m afraid though, that mine won’t even look like Mr. Peabody. But I bet my 11 year-old son can do a perfect Mr. Peabody.
Brandy says
What fun! My kids love drawing, I will have to show them this tutorial.
Jenn @comebackmomma says

So interesting that it starts with an 8. I am a hopeless sketcher, but might try this with the kids.
Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins says
You did an amazing job! I can’t draw even if I had a very detailed tutorial lol.
Tammy says
I always fail at those how to draw tutorials – my daughter doesn’t even need them she can just look at a character and draw it. I have no clue where she got her artistic gene from since neither my husband or I can draw.
Colleen says
Looks great, love the drawing, will have to try this myself.
Kathleen B says
That is so neat, and it doesn’t even seem that hard. I am going to show this to my oldest, he loves to draw.
HilLesha @To the Motherhood says

Lolo says
That looks super! So much fun.
TerriAnn @ Cookies & Clogs says
You did a great job! I had no idea the base of Mr. Peabody was simply a figure 8!
Raijean says
I can’t draw to save my life but I’m going to see if I can get my sister to try this.
Toni says
I am not a drawer either. I think you did a great job though!
