Here you will find a guide on how to draw Ken from Toy Story 3, the fashion-obsessed doll who lives in Sunnyside Daycare. Ken made his debut in the third film as Lotso’s right-hand toy, though he quickly falls for Barbie and switches sides. His confident pose and retro outfit make him a fun character to sketch.
Sketching Ken from Toy Story
This tutorial contains 11 step-by-step images that walk you through drawing Ken’s full body, from his smooth hair down to his loafers.
Ken’s Visual Features
- Smooth, molded blonde hair parted to one side
- Confident smile with visible teeth
- Short-sleeved collared shirt with high popped collar
- Hands placed on hips in a confident stance
- High-waisted shorts with a belt
- Slim legs and simple slip-on shoes
Ken’s proportions follow the classic fashion doll look with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. After completing this guide, try drawing his partner Barbie next, or take on Forky for something completely different. The Green Alien tutorial offers another option if you want to practice rounder shapes.
Understanding the Step System
The guide uses a color system to track your progress through each stage:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
