How to Draw Bluey: A Free Fan Art Drawing Page
Fan art: Bluey is not my character. Bluey belongs to the creators and owners of the TV show Bluey. This is my own unofficial fan art drawing, made for kids to practice with, and it isn’t affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by the show or its owners.
Lots of kids love Bluey, and lots of kids ask me how to draw her. So I drew my own version of the happy blue puppy, waving hello, and broke it into a free step-by-step drawing page you can print at home or in the classroom.
Like every page in my books, the drawing is split into six easy steps. A light gray outline of the finished drawing appears on every step to help kids plan the size and spacing, and the black lines show what to draw, adding a little more each step. It’s a great fit for kids ages 5 and up, and it takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

How to Draw Bluey, Step by Step
Here’s what happens in each of the six steps. Draw lightly at first, and don’t worry about wobbly lines.
- Step 1: Start with the face: the big round eye, the pointy nose, the two eyebrows and the corner of the mouth.
- Step 2: Draw the tall, boxy head, the snout and jaw, and the little line under the second eye.
- Step 3: Add the two pointy ears, the second eye and the cheek line. Then draw the body, one arm and the hand.
- Step 4: Draw the inside of the ears, the markings on the face and the open, smiling mouth. Then add the waving arm, the legs and the tail.
- Step 5: Draw the waving paw, the fluffy tip of the tail and the lines inside the legs.
- Step 6: Finish with the tummy patch, the spots, the toes and the stripes on the tail and legs.
Then try it again without looking at the steps. Kids are always surprised by how much they remember the second time around.
Tips for Coloring Your Drawing
Once the drawing is done, it’s time for color. Here are a few easy ideas:
- Shades of blue: use a mid blue for most of the body and a darker blue for the markings and spots.
- A lighter tummy and snout: color the tummy patch and the snout a pale blue or cream so they stand out.
- Make your own pup: try red, orange or spotty colors and turn the drawing into a brand-new puppy character of your own.
Turn Your Drawing into Something New
Copying a favorite character is great practice, and it’s even more fun when kids add their own ideas:
- Design your own dog: change the ears, the tail and the markings, and give your new puppy a name.
- Draw a game: what game is your puppy playing? Draw the backyard, the toys and a friend to play with.
- Write the story: draw your puppy, then write a few sentences about its best day ever.
Using This Page in the Classroom
Teachers are welcome to print copies of this page for the whole class, for classroom or home use. It makes an easy art center, an indoor recess activity or an early-finisher page.
- Draw it, then write about it: students draw the puppy and write about a game it plays. My free draw-and-write sheets have a box for the drawing and lines for the story: primary lines (K–2) or regular lines (grades 2–5).
- More fan art: my fan art drawing tutorials page gathers all of my fan art lessons in one place.
- More dogs: my cat and dog drawing ideas page has lots of my own cartoon dogs to draw.
- More ready-made lessons: my free teacher resources include printable book pages, sub plans and art center cards.
Fan art is for drawing and sharing for fun. Please don’t sell drawings of characters someone else owns. See the free use page for the full details on printing and sharing.

Common mistakes and quick fixes
- It doesn’t look like the character.
- Look at the colors and the one or two famous details (the hat, the ears, the mask) and get those right first.
- The proportions are off.
- Compare the head to the body on the example and match that size before adding details.
- It feels copied, not yours.
- After the lesson, draw the character doing something new: that’s the fun part of fan art.
- Pressing hard from the very first step.
- Use light, sketchy lines first. You can erase them easily and go over the lines you keep at the end.
