Alien Cyborg Drawing Book

Learn to Draw Alien Cyborgs Step by Step

How to Draw: Alien Cyborgs features a collection of original alien cyborg characters, each designed to be fun to draw and completely unique.

Every character is broken down into six simple steps, starting with basic shapes and gradually adding details until the alien cyborg is complete. The step-by-step format makes drawing approachable for beginners while still giving kids plenty of room to develop their own artistic style.

Get The Book

After following the drawing lesson, young artists can use the dedicated drawing page to recreate the character themselves.

No complicated techniques. No art experience required. Just grab a pencil and start drawing!

Weird Aliens + Cool Robots = Alien Cyborgs!

What happens when strange creatures from another world meet futuristic robotic technology?

You get Alien Cyborgs!

This book is filled with imaginative characters featuring mechanical parts, robotic arms, strange eyes, futuristic gadgets, alien features, and plenty of goofy personality.

Sci-fi Activity Book for Kids

Like all of our drawing books, every character was originally designed and hand-drawn by cartoonist Kevin Coulston. The artwork isn’t AI-generated or pulled from stock art or clipart. These are original cartoon characters created specifically to make learning how to draw fun for kids.

A Fun, Screen-Free Activity for Kids

Drawing is a great way for kids to unplug, use their imaginations, and create something of their own.

The simple lessons in this Alien Cyborg Drawing Book help young artists practice:

  • Drawing with basic shapes
  • Following step-by-step instructions
  • Hand-eye coordination
  • Pencil control
  • Creative thinking
  • Adding their own details and ideas
  • Building confidence in their artwork

And, most importantly, it’s supposed to be fun!

View The Book

Once kids learn how the characters are put together, they can start experimenting with their own designs. Mix and match alien heads, robot bodies, mechanical arms, antennas, gadgets, and other strange features to invent an entirely new alien cyborg.

Designed for Young Artists Ages 5+

How to Draw: Alien Cyborgs is designed for kids ages 5 and up, but older kids and grown-ups who like drawing goofy characters can have fun with it too.

The straightforward six-step lessons make it easy for beginning artists to follow along without making the drawings feel boring or overly simple.

Learn to Draw

Whether they’re drawing at home, traveling, hanging out after school, or looking for a screen-free weekend activity, kids can open the book to just about any page and start creating.

Part of the How to Draw Series

How to Draw: Alien Cyborgs joins the growing How to Draw series from First Art Books, featuring hundreds of original cartoon characters across books about dinosaurs, robots, animals, monsters, aliens, food monsters, goofy faces, and much more.

Each book uses the same kid-friendly approach: simple steps, original characters, and plenty of room to draw.

If you’ve enjoyed other books in the series, this one takes things in a fun new sci-fi direction.

Meet The Author & Artist

Kevin Coulston is a children’s book author, illustrator, cartoonist, and member of the National Cartoonists Society. Over the course of his career, he has published more than 100 books, including instructional drawing books, activity books, comics, graphic novels, and children’s picture books.

His popular How to Draw, Trace Then Color, and Draw by Grid series have helped thousands of aspiring young artists learn to draw through simple, approachable lessons featuring hundreds of Kevin’s original cartoon characters.

Kevin is also the creator of the comic series Dylan McVillain and The Adventures of a 4th Grade Space Captain, as well as the children’s picture book series Alexis and the T-Rexes. In addition to his publishing work, Kevin created, wrote, illustrated, and animated the web series Bad Jokes with Ugly Folks, starring legendary voice actors Rob Paulsen and Tara Strong.

Kevin believes anyone can learn to draw—and that learning is a lot more fun when the characters you’re drawing are weird, silly, and just a little ridiculous.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

– Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

– Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

– Bestmomever [Amazon Review]

“This is a very good book for kids that want to learn to draw, my sons love it and Kevin does a great job of making drawing fun and not intimidating. Highly recommended for the long summer hours!”

– David D. [Amazon Review]
