How to Draw a Smurf
- Sketch the basic shape of the face.
A Smurf’s appearance is instantly recognizable because of the oversized, rounded nose, so that’s the best place to begin. Start by sketching an oval shape for the nose. Then add a smooth curved line that runs backward from the nose to form the cheek and the ear on back of the head.
- Sketch the curved hat shape.
Every Smurf wears a signature white hat, so this step introduces a defining feature of the character. Draw a large, curved shape over the head, with a rounded top that droops to one side. To add some basic details, draw a couple of folds on the hat.
- Draw the Smurf’s arm and hand.
Now add the first arm hanging downward. Begin at the side of the head and sketch two long lines that extend into a large rounded hand. The hand should be drawn with three fingers and a thumb, all simplified into smooth curves.
- Add the Smurf’s short body.
Once the first arm is in place, draw a curved line dropping down from the head to form the rounded belly. The torso should be very short, as Smurfs are designed to have childlike proportions. Then, draw the top edge of the pants with a smooth horizontal line.
- Add the second arm and hand.
To finalize the top of the body, draw a couple of curved line bending at the elbow and finish with another large, rounded hand, again with three fingers and a thumb. This hand should appear open, as if the Smurf is waving or gesturing. You can vary the pose by angling the arm in a different position.
- Draw the leg and oversized shoe.
Let’s details the lower body and draw the legs. Sketch the leg with a couple of short lines, finishing it with an oval-like shoe shape. Smurfs are always drawn with feet that look oversized, almost comically big compared to the rest of their body.
- Sketch the second leg and large shoe.
Finalize the figure by sketching a second foot on the opposite side. It should be similar in size and shape to the first foot, but you can angle it differently.
- Draw the Smurf’s eyes and smile.
Add two large oval eyes just above the nose. Fill each eye with a black dot for the pupil. Below the nose, sketch a wide smiling mouth. Smurfs are usually drawn cheerful, so a smile is almost always included. After that, draw the inner ear details.
- Color the Smurf blue and white.
The final step is to add color, which instantly makes the drawing recognizable. Fill the body, face, and arms with a bright blue tone – the classic Smurf color. The hat and pants should remain white. Leave the eyes white with black pupils. You can use lighter pastel blues for the Smurf.
