5 BEST KIDS ART TUTORIALS ON YOUTUBE

Art Hub for Kids

Art Hub for kids is an absolute creative wonderland for kiddos, created and hosted by a family of six (!!) who draw right along with you and give you a step by step guide to each illustration.

My kids have LIVED for this content for literal years at this point and have become significantly better artists using some of the techniques they've learned! You'll find all kinds of art lessons for little people of all ages, including how to draw for kids, even painting and origami for kids, and the best part is that they get their kids to draw and create right next to them and focus on it being FUN not PERFECT!

There are several places to watch Art Hub for Kids art lessons. They're available for free on both YouTube and YouTube Kids, as well as online at their website:

Draw with Rob

When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in 2020, children's author and illustrator Rob Biddulph realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So he decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures.

They proved SO popular that in May this year Rob broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 participants drew a whale with him!

All the videos are available to watch on his website so your kiddos can draw along with Rob's art lessons – and these illustrations are just.so.cute! There are so many awesome little art projects; draw a sausage dog, or a peacock or a superhero bear! Your kids will find hours of drawing fun here (and it's pretty cool for the adults too!)

Art Land

Another great option for online, step by step drawing tutorials for kids is Art Land. This YouTube channel is dedicated to helping everyone learn how to draw anything and everything, in simple easy steps!

Two videos are uploaded every day – one easy and one advanced, some of the more complex dragons and dinosaurs are great for kids that are slightly older. There's also a huge catalogue of videos to draw on (pun intended…bahaha).

The videos are super easy to follow, done slowly and with clear instructions!

Face Drawer

Another option for the older primary aged kids, Face Drawer has awesome YouTube tutorials on how to draw Pokémon, Minecraft, Lego characters, Minions, 3D trick art and drawings which use the shape of your hand as the outline.

Videos tend to move along quite quickly, which could become frustrating for littlies and those that are just learning to draw, so be aware they'll have to pause frequently to keep up!
