Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Outline the Spiky Hair

Draw a wide hair outline with long spikes pointing outward. Add several curved, pointed bangs across the open lower center.

Pro Tip: Make the highest spike tall enough to stand above the others.

Step 2: Draw the Friendly Face

Curve the cheeks and chin beneath the bangs, adding ears with inner curves. Add arched eyes with oval centers, eyebrows, a tiny nose, and a smile.

Pro Tip: Place the ears near the lower ends of the hair.

Step 3: Stretch Out the Arms

Draw two pairs of slanted lines extending outward below the head. Finish each arm with a rounded hand and a raised thumb.

Pro Tip: Aim both hands slightly upward for an open, welcoming pose.

Step 4: Add the Outfit and Belt

Outline the sleeveless top with overlapping neckline bands and a circular chest emblem. Add the lower hem, wide belt, central knot, and two hanging ends.

Pro Tip: Keep the emblem small enough to fit beside the diagonal neckline.

Step 5: Draw the Loose Trousers

Extend two baggy trouser legs beneath the top, leaving a central gap. Add curved fold marks and uneven lower hems on both legs.

Pro Tip: Make the trousers wider near the knees than near the waist.

Step 6: Finish the Boots
