How to Draw Eevee
This tutorial demonstrates how to draw Eevee from Pokemon using three different methods, each with varying styles and difficulty levels.
How to Draw Eevee: Basic Information
When drawing Eevee, it’s important to note the proportions of the head and body – Eevee’s large, rounded head is a defining characteristic, so make sure to keep the head-to-body ratio accurate. Additionally, Eevee’s large eyes are a focal point. Keep the eyes large and round, to convey the character’s cute look.
Pay particular attention to Eevee’s ears and mane, as they contribute to the recognizable silhouette. The ears are long and pointy. The mane, meanwhile, can be drawn with wavy, irregular lines to give the impression of soft fur.
When drawing Eevee, it’s important to remember that you are drawing a Pokémon, which means you should aim to stay true to the recognizable style seen in the series. Focus on simplicity in both lines and details, and use basic colors with minimal shading and highlights.
As you continue refining your Eevee drawing, there are also two additional tutorials available to help deepen your skills and solidify what you’ve learned. Each tutorial is created in a different style and made to different skill levels.

How to Draw Eevee
- Draw the base shapes of Eevee.
Begin by drawing the basic shapes that will serve as the foundation for Eevee’s body. Start with a large circle for the head. Next, draw a smaller oval shape beneath the head for the body. Position the oval so it overlaps slightly with the bottom of the head.
- Add the face details.
Now, it’s time to give Eevee some facial features. Start by drawing two large oval shapes for the eyes. Place them slightly lower on the face to give Eevee a more youthful appearance. Add a small triangle-like shape for the nose just below the eyes, with a curved line beneath it to form the mouth.
- Sketch the ears of the Pokémon.
Eevee’s ears are one of its most recognizable features, so take your time drawing them. Each ear should be long and triangular, with the base of the ears slightly wider than the tips. Pay attention to the overall shape and position, as this step helps create the recognizable silhouette of Eevee.
- Detail the head of the Pokémon.
Now that the basic shapes of the head are in place, refine them by adding more details. Draw a smaller triangular shape within each ear to create the inner structure. Additionally, add a few tufts of fur between the ears at the top of Eevee’s head.
- Add the mane.
Begin by drawing the mane in a wavy, zigzag pattern around the neck area, making sure it extends outward to give the impression of soft, thick fur. The lines should be irregular to create a natural look. The mane should wrap around the bottom of the head and cover part of the upper body.
- Draw the front legs.
Draw two short, slightly curved legs coming down from the body. The paws at the bottom should be rounded and small. To make the legs look more natural, add toes with the help of simple and short lines. The legs, as the rest of the body, should look really simple and cute.
- Add the hind leg of Eevee.
Next, draw the visible part of Eevee’s hind leg on the side. This leg will have a slightly different shape than the front legs. It should be drawn with a gentle curve. The hind leg is more muscular and rounded compared to the front legs.
- Sketch the tail of the Pokémon.
The tail is an important recognizable part of Eevee’s appearance, and it should be drawn with plenty of volume. As you move towards the middle part, widen the tail to create that fluffy effect. Near the end of the tail, add a zigzag pattern to represent the lighter-colored fur that decorates Eevee’s tail tip.
- Add colors to your Eevee drawing.
Use a light brown shade for the main part of Eevee’s body, covering the head, ears, body, and legs. For the mane and the tip of the tail, use a soft cream color to highlight Eevee’s fur. Don’t forget to color in the eyes – use dark brown or black for the eyes, but leave small highlights to give them a shiny effect.

How to Draw Eevee: Alternative Techniques
In addition to the main tutorial, there are several alternative techniques for drawing Eevee, each created to offer a different style. By working with these different techniques, you will learn new ways to draw Eevee and develop new skills that can be applied to other drawing subjects.
Simple Eevee Drawing Tutorial
To begin drawing Eevee in more simple style, start by sketching a large circle for the head. Then, draw two large, pointed ears extending from each side of the head. Inside each ear, add a smaller shape to detail the ears. Next, draw Eevee’s fluffy mane around the bottom of the head using wavy lines to mimic the soft fur.
Once the mane is complete, sketch the two front legs by drawing curved shapes beneath the mane. Afterward, draw the large, bushy tail extending from behind the body, using a smooth curve for its shape. Add Eevee’s facial features by drawing two small, curved lines for closed eyes and a wide, smiling mouth below.
Next, refine the Eevee drawing by adding more fur details on the body and tail with short lines. Finally, finish the drawing by coloring Eevee with shades of brown and cream for the body, mane, and tail, and pink for the inside of the mouth.
Detailed Eevee Drawing Tutorial
To draw Eevee with this more detailed method, begin by sketching a circle for the head and adding guidelines for the facial features. Draw two large ovals for the eyes and add a small curve below for the mouth for the chin. Add details like the pupils and nose to complete the face.
Next, draw Eevee’s large ears, making them pointed and wide. Add inner details for the ears and some tufts of fur on top of the head. Now, sketch the fluffy mane around the neck, keeping the lines wavy to represent the fur. Draw the front legs, ensuring they’re short and curved.
Add the hind legs to balance the pose. Finally, sketch the large, bushy tail with a distinctive zigzag at the tip. Finish the Eevee drawing by adding simple colors: light brown for the body, cream for the mane and tail tip, and dark brown for the eyes.
