Perhaps you are looking to design your own piece of steampunk art, illustrating a steampunk character or designing a costume for steampunk cosplay. Here you will find a simple step-by-step guide on how to draw steampunk goggles.
Steampunk is a hugely popular retro-futuristic genre that started out as a literary movement and moved into theater, films, music, and art. It is fascinating to look at how steampunk artists combine the 1920’s Victorian era with techno elements inspired by the 19th century in their artwork and designs.
In this drawing tutorial, I have included two quite different examples of steampunk goggles. The first one is a more technical breakdown of the elements of steampunk goggles, drawn on procreate. I have also added a free printable outline of my drawing if you would like to skip the drawing part and use the template as it.

The second example is a simple drawing of a girl wearing steampunk goggles. I wanted to demonstrate how you could simplify the steampunk goggles for an anime, manga, or cartoon-like illustration.
So let’s begin….

Draw the two smaller, inner circles of the goggles, and then draw a slightly bigger circle around each smaller one.
Step 2: Draw Coverings
Draw in the semi circular shapes of the steampunk goggle coverings.
Step 3 : Draw Attachments

Step 3: Add the buckles to the sides of the steampunk goggle lenses. As you can see, I am drawing the goggles using simple shapes and forms and excluding a lot of the detail seen in real steampunk goggles.
Step 3: Here I added a fringe to the steampunk girl and started working on the depth within the goggles lenses.
Step 4: Draw in the general shape of the hair, work into eyebrows and eyelashes.
Step 5: I added a line to the hair to give the impression of shading and I added a neck line to the figure.
Step 6: Final line work, shading & then some color!
