Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Visor Oval
Start with a sideways oval near the upper part of your page for the visor. Keep the shape smooth and closed, like a rounded window.
Pro Tip: Sketch the oval lightly first, then darken it to keep it round.
Step 2: Add the Head Curve
Draw a large curved arch above and behind the visor, letting it overlap the oval a little. Let the left end dip slightly so the helmet looks soft and round.
Pro Tip: Make the head curve wider than the visor so it feels like a helmet.
Step 3: Draw the Left Body Outline
From the left side of the helmet, pull a long curved line downward for the body’s left edge. Round the bottom and leave space where the legs will split.
Pro Tip: Use one smooth stroke for the side so the outline stays clean.
Step 4: Add the Right Body Outline
From the right side of the visor area, draw the body’s right edge down with a gentle outward curve. Stop near the bottom so the body width matches the left side.
Pro Tip: When both sides are similar in width, the character looks balanced.
Step 5: Create the Two Legs
At the bottom, draw a small inward notch to separate the two legs. Round the ends so each leg looks like a soft, curved tube.
Pro Tip: Keep the notch shallow so the legs look cute and simple.
Step 6: Add the Backpack and Refine Lines
On the left-back side of the body, draw a rounded vertical rectangle for the backpack. Clean up any overlaps and slightly thicken the outer outline for a crisp finish.
Pro Tip: Leave a small gap from the edge so the backpack feels more 3D.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
Fun Facts
- The Among Us character is often called a “crewmate.”

Pin it now, Draw later!
You just learned how to draw an Among Us character by building the visor first, then shaping the helmet, body, legs, and backpack. For coloring, try a bright suit color like red, blue, green, or pink, and shade the visor with light gray or pale blue. Add gentle shadow on one side of the body and under the backpack to make it look rounded. One common beginner mistake is making the visor too tiny, so keep it large and easy to see. Draw it again with a different color and pose, and keep practicing this easy step by step drawing to grow your confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make the visor look shiny?
Leave a small white spot inside the visor for a highlight. Shade the rest lightly so the highlight stands out.
What if my body looks uneven?
Lightly sketch both sides first, then adjust the width before tracing. A simple check is to compare left and right curves.
How can I add details without making it complicated?
Add a small shadow line under the visor and behind the backpack. Keep details minimal so the character stays clean and clear.
