Before sketching the outline on your actual paper, practice a few times on scratch paper until you’re happy with the results. Since the guidelines provide the basic shape of the tail, go back in and define the outer edges of the rectangles.

Misty’s beloved egg creature became every gen 2 player’s annoyance hogging a whole slot for most of the early game. To create the last 2 sections, sketch a second horizontal line through the halfway point between the top of the rectangle and the first horizontal line you just drew. Then, draw a horizontal zigzag line across the middle of the lowest rectangle to represent the brown base. To make the cheek markings, place your pencil on the outer edge of the cheek, where the cheek juts out the most from the head, and draw a semi-circle that ends near the bottom of the cheek—and repeat this on the other side. If you try drawing this little guy over and over again don’t get too frustrated with the geometric pattern.If you enjoyed reading this article with Pokemon drawing tutorials, you should read this one on drawing Sonic. End the line at the central horizontal line, leaving a little bit of space from the side of the rectangle, and repeat on the other side. Add the iconic ear and cheek markings, and then draw the eyes on the horizontal line running through the circle.

Add a second rectangle that's above and to the left of the first one, and then another on top of that.

For the arms, sketch a medium-sized U-shape underneath the central horizontal guideline, with the top part of the “U” facing away from the vertical guideline, then repeat on the other side. Then, slightly above the halfway point of that line, draw a horizontal line from one side of the circle to the other to form 4 equal sections. For Pikachu’s body, start with your pencil at the bottom of one of the cheeks (in the top half of the rectangle).
