📐 How to Draw — Step by Step
Step 1 of 9
To start drawing Pikachu, draw a large circle that will be the head. Then add two smaller circles inside the big one, which will represent the eyes. Make sure to leave a small distance between your eyes and the edge of the larger circle. This basic sketch will serve as the basis for the details we will add in the next steps.
Step 2 of 9
Now, let's add Pikachu's ears! Start by drawing two triangular shapes on the sides of the head circle, with the points facing up. The ears should be a little rounded at the base to give a softer appearance. Then, draw a small circle inside each eye to represent the glow, and fill in the rest of the eyes with a darker color. This will bring Pikachu's look to life!
Step 3 of 9
For this step, we're going to work on Pikachu's face. Start by drawing a small curved line below the center circle to form the nose. Then add a curved line for the mouth, creating a friendly smile. Don't forget to draw two circles on her cheeks, one on each side, to represent her adorable features. These circles should be a little larger than your eyes. This will help give Pikachu a more expressive touch!
Step 4 of 9
Now let's work on Pikachu's body shape. Start by drawing a curved line that extends downward from the face, creating an oval shape that will be the body. Make sure the lower body is a little wider to give it a solid feel. Don't worry about leaving perfect lines; the important thing is to capture the essence of Pikachu. Then add a smooth line at the bottom to form the feet.
Step 5 of 9
Now, let's add the details of Pikachu's paws. Start by drawing two smooth curved lines coming out of the lower part of the body, forming the front legs. Give them a rounded shape, as if they were slightly bent. Then add small circles at the ends to represent hands. Don't worry about perfection; the important thing is to capture Pikachu's cuteness!
Step 6 of 9
Now, let's add the details to Pikachu's face! Start by drawing two large oval eyes, leaving a small white space inside each one for a sparkly effect. Next, draw a small triangle-shaped nose just below the eyes. For the mouth, draw a soft curved line that stretches from cheek to cheek, creating an adorable smile. Don't forget to add rosy cheeks by drawing two circles on the sides of your face!
Step 7 of 9
Now that Pikachu's face is almost complete, let's work on the body! Start by drawing an oval shape for the body, just below the head. Make sure the bottom is a little wider. Next, draw the front legs as two small, rounded shapes coming out of the lower part of the body. For the tail, add a zig-zagging line coming out of the back, creating Pikachu's signature shape.
Step 8 of 9
Now that we have Pikachu's body and paws, let's add details! Start by filling the body with a rounded shape, leaving the lower part fuller. Next, draw the hind legs, which should be small and rounded, positioned at the back of the body. Don't forget to add the details of the ears, leaving them slightly pointed. Finally, draw the lightning-shaped tail with a more defined outline.
Step 9 of 9
Now that we've finished drawing Pikachu, it's time to add a final touch! Use yellow colored pencil to fill in the entire body, leaving the face and cheek areas more vibrant. Add some shadow to the paws and tail using a darker shade of yellow or orange. For the ear details, use black on the tips. Finally, revise the contours with a darker pencil to give your drawing more definition. That's it, your Pikachu is complete!
