Previously, we learned how to sketch Phineas, continuing this topic I will show you how to draw Ferb from the same cartoon.

In this lesson, I want to show you how to draw Ferb. This is the half-brother of Phineas and the second main character of the animated series Phineas and Ferb. This is the continuation of my previous tutorial on how to draw Phineas.

If you watched this cartoon, then you remember that interesting stories constantly happen to the restless brothers. Ferb Fletcher is presented as a silent genius, this character is well versed in design and brings to life all the incredible ideas of his best friend.

Ferb looks very unusual. The body of this character has a rectangular shape, green hair on the head. It looks funny, but it is thanks to these features that the character has his own personality and is liked by the audience. You will easily draw Ferb thanks to this step-by-step guide.

Each step will have a small hint that you can use to get a great result. Following this instruction, then you will definitely be able to draw Ferb in stages, and you will get a very bright and colorful drawing.

How to draw Ferb step by step

Outline the elongated head form.
Draw a long vertical capsule for Ferb’s head: two straight-ish sides that taper slightly toward the neck, joined by a rounded top. Keep the bottom open for the neck. Ferb from Phineas and Ferb has a very elongated head, so make it much taller than in a regular head.
Illustrate Ferb’s eyes, nose, and mouth.
Now, draw two cartoon eyes sitting high and toward the front edge. Overlap the front eye slightly with a rounded nose that projects forward; add a small bump beneath it for the upper lip. Draw a tiny dot pupil near the inner edge of each eye to suggest Ferb’s look. The eyes should be oversized, which is a key element of this cartoon character design.
Add the spiky hair and ear.
From the top front corner, draw the angular, swept hairstyle: three to four sharp spikes leaning backward and a final small spike at the back. On the side of the head, sketch a small circular ear with a tiny inner shape to convey the details inside.
Draw the shirt collar and torso of Ferb.
At the base of the neck, illustrate a triangular shirt collar: a flat horizontal band with two small pointed flaps, plus a dot for the button in the middle. Below the collar, outline a long vertical tube for the torso that rounds at the bottom; this will become the upper part of Ferb’s high-waisted pants.
Sketch the short sleeves and thin arms.
Now, mark the short sleeves at the sides of the upper torso. On the viewer’s left, draw the bent arm: a thin tube rising from the sleeve area with a small hand and one raised index finger. On the right side, outline a straight hanging arm ending in a simple hand with indicated fingers. Maintain consistent line thickness so both limbs match the show’s style.
Sketch the belt and thin legs.
Develop clothing features. Across the middle torso, draw Ferb’s belt as a narrow band with four small square blocks. Under the torso, sketch two short, slightly curved legs that end in simple cuff shapes. The legs should look cartoony and noticeably shorter than in a real person.
Draw the feet of Ferb.
Now, move slightly lower mark the shin areas as short tubes below the cuffs. Then, draw the simple feet of the character as two equal oval shapes. On the shoes, add a strap line and a small sole contour to indicate Ferb’s sandals.
Finalize the basic outline of the character.
Clean the drawing to prepare for color. Erase the construction shapes inside the forms, and overlaps where the parts meet each other. Remove extra sketch marks around the collar, belt, and hands. Darken final contours with smooth, unbroken strokes. Darken the eye outlines and pupils.
Fill in the Ferb drawing with correct tones.
Fill the hair of the cartoon character with bright green. Color the skin a light peach or beige. Paint the shirt a pale yellow. Make the high-waisted pants a medium to dark purple and the belt a slightly darker tone with lighter block squares. Color the sandals gray with a darker sole.

Easy Ferb Drawing Tutorial

To sketch this version of Ferb, illustrate the hair using a series of angular, pointed shapes that extend to the sides. Connect the hair to a narrow head outline and draw two large round eyes placed close together.

Add a simple ear and a small curve for the nose, then illustrate the neck with a short rectangle. Draw a wide collar and the outline of the shirt, followed by long, straight lines forming his slim torso and legs.

Add short sleeves, then draw the shoes as small, curved forms with flat soles. Finally, outline the raised hand with the index finger extended and illustrate the second arm on the opposite side. Color the hair bright green, the shirt light yellow, and the pants purple to complete Ferb’s recognizable appearance.
