How to Draw Pikachu
In this lesson - how to draw Pikachu, we're tackling easily the most popular of all the Pokemon characters. Kind of resembling a bunny rabbit (again - kind of!) - this character is super simple to draw.
And with that - let's get to it!
First Step - A Couple Circles Will Do the Trick Just Fine
Viewed at a 3/4 angle - this character is still very simple to draw. As I mentioned up top - looking somewhat like a rabbit, you can sketch out the ears and limbs ahead of time to help you bring the structure into view...
The only tricky part - I'd say - is with the tail. It's sort of like a lightning bolt, but sort of squared off at the end --- take a look at a few 'official' likenesses of the character to see what I mean.
OK - onward!
Second Step - Draw Your Pokemon Character!
A good place to start - OF COURSE! - is with the eyes and face. Once you get these parts in place, branch out to the ears, bring the head into view --- and then work your way on down the drawing from there.
Step by step, here's how it all unfolds...
Lol - what a cute little character! Of course - we'd expect nothing less. In the future - I foresee more drawing lessons like this one! :-)
Nice work.
