When you’re finished, the top sections should be smaller than the bottom sections. If you need help drawing a circle, trying using a compass or tracing something circular.
When you’re done drawing the cheek markings, they should look like ovals on Pikachu’s cheeks.
Don’t worry if the eyes you draw aren’t perfect circles—they don’t need to be exact!
If you want to color in your drawing, use red for the cheek markings, black for the ear markings, and yellow for Pikachu’s skin.
Pikachu can move its ears independently of one another, so feel free to draw the ears at different angles. If you want to draw one of the ears sticking out to the side while the other is straight up, just make the curved lines extending off Pikachu’s head horizontal instead of vertical.
After you draw the arms, you can draw 5 small triangles at the ends for Pikachu’s claws. To give Pikachu toes, draw a short line inside each foot that’s parallel to the upper edge.
When you’re finished, shade in Pikachu’s tiny nose and both eyes, except for the pupils.
Pikachu’s ear markings should look like short, triangular tips that are slanted at the bottoms.
Don’t worry about making these rectangles perfect—they’re just guidelines that will make it easier to draw Pikachu’s tail.
Make sure each line in Pikachu’s tail is angled somewhat so the tail has its iconic zigzag shape.
To color in your drawing, use yellow for Pikachu’s skin, red for the cheek markings, black for the ear markings, and brown for the base of the tail.
