If you know about such a computer game as Undertale, then you are probably familiar with one of its main characters. Papyrus is one of the skeletons that are the characters of this computer game.
Papyrus looks tall, and the structure of his skull is anatomically inaccurate, which makes him different from his brother, another hero in this game. Papyrus wears a makeshift suit, red scarf, and gloves, and his mouth constantly appears wide open.

How to draw Papyrus from Undertale step by step
- Sketch the basic skull shape.
Sketch an elongated skull shape with a smooth, rounded top and a narrower jaw area. Add a slight inward curve on the left side for the cheek contour. At the bottom, you can draw a short neck section of Papyrus from Undertale.
- Draw the scarf of Papyrus from Undertale.
Outline the layered collar that wraps around the neck of the character with curved bands stacked like fabric folds. Add a small torn edge at the bottom center of the scarf.
- Sketch the rounded chest shape.
Below the scarf, outline the wide upper part of the torso of the character. Draw a smooth curved line beneath the scarf of Papyrus.
- Draw the left arm of Papyrus.
On the left, outline a small shoulder ball, then sketch a short upper-arm tube connected to the lower arms and then to the rounded glove cuff. From the cuff, draw the uneven and simple mitten-like hand with a visible thumb curve and a palm oval.
- Sketch the second arm of the Undertale character.
Balance the body of the game character by building the second arm. On the right, draw a rounded shoulder pad, then a vertical arm made of two thin capsules separated by a small joint part. Finish with a curved, mitten-shaped hand pointing right.
- Outline the spine and hip section.
Below the chest, draw simple vertical lines running from the bottom edge to show the spine of Papyrus. Beneath them, sketch a short oval or rounded rectangle for the shorts area.
- Draw the straight legs and boots.
From beneath the hip plate, draw the uneven and simple legs as thin rods made of two segments each. Add wide, cartoony boots at the bottom: tall cuffs with a gentle flare and rounded toes. Keep soles flat. Recheck the symmetry and lengths of the boots.
- Sketch the facial features and cape.
Now draw the face of Papyrus from Undertale – square eye sockets, a triangular nose cavity, and a wide, toothy grin divided into simple teeth lines. After that, draw the cape, continuing the scarf tail to the right with wind-blown shapes. Reinforce final contours with smooth, single strokes.
- Paint the character in authentic tones.
Color separates materials in this Undertale drawing and helps to make the character look complete and authentic. Fill the scarf and cape tail with a saturated red. Paint the chest and shoulders white, the gloves and boots bright red, and the shorts a dark blue. Color the limbs and spine a dark red tone.
