Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing R2-D2 from Star Wars
How to Draw a Great Looking R2-D2 from Star Wars for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by drawing a long, curved line that doubles back upon itself. This traces the cylindrical shape of R2-D2's body.

2. Outline R2's leg. Use a curved line to enclose an irregular rounded shape. The shape should resemble a key or a popsicle on a stick. Trace another line parallel to one side of this shape, connected at the top and bottom. This gives the shape a three-dimensional appearance. Then, draw horizontal lines from the shape to this new line at the points where the shape bends.

R2-D2, sometimes spelled Artoo-Detoo or R2 for short, is a Second Generation Robotic Droid Series-2. He is classed as an astromech droid, a "versatile utility robot...generally used for the maintenance and repair of starships."
R2's many tools and abilities are often used as a plot device to move the story forward. He repaired Padme Amidala's royal starship; assisted young Anakin Skywalker in piloting a Naboo starfighter; rescued Padme from the Geonosian droid assembly line.
He also delivered an important message and plans for the Death Star from Princess Leia to Luke Skywalker; and helped Luke and Han Solo escape from the clutches of the Empire by hacking their computers on more than one occasion.
