Glue them onto paper to make your own custom alien collection or use Velcro/tape for reusable fun.

- Draw a postcard-sized scene with your alien visiting a strange new planet or galaxy.
- On the back, write a pretend message from the alien like “Dear Earth, I just landed on Planet Pizza—it’s delicious!”

The horizontal and vertical dashed lines running through the center of the page on Cute Things to Draw are helpful to beginner artists. By drawing their own center lines on blank paper before starting, learning artists have a guide to follow as they draw.
Getting the right size and placement of lines on the page provides visual reference points that help improve accuracy. To create these guides on their own page, students can simply fold their paper in half both vertically and horizontally, slightly creasing it, then unfold. Once the drawing is finished and colored, the creases will not be noticeable.
Let’s start drawing cute aliens!
How to Draw Cute Aliens 👽✨
- Start with a fun shape for the head
Begin by drawing a large circle, oval, or even a jellybean shape—cute aliens don’t have to be perfectly round! The bigger the head, the cuter it tends to look. - Add big, expressive eyes
Draw one or two oversized eyes (or go wild with three!). Make them sparkly and wide to give your alien a friendly, adorable expression. - Give it a happy or silly mouth
A tiny smile, a goofy grin, or a surprised “O” shape works great. You can even add a little tongue or tiny teeth for extra personality. - Choose a unique body style
Keep the body small compared to the head for maximum cuteness. Try a simple blob, tiny legs, or even no legs at all—maybe it floats! - Add fun alien features
Draw wiggly antennas, extra arms, robot legs, or space boots. You can also add spots, stripes, or stars to its body for detail. - Color it in with bright, playful colors
Use greens, purples, blues, or even rainbow shades. Don’t forget to color the eyes shiny and add sparkles or glowy effects if you want your alien to really pop!
