How to Draw Pokémon
If you love Pokémon, this new guide on how to draw Pokemon will be very useful for you. I used the appearance of Pichu as an example, but this sequence of steps can be applied to drawing any small Pokémon.
How to Draw Pokémon: Basic Information
We are drawing one of the youngest Pokémon. If I’m not mistaken, this is the earliest form of Pikachu. Therefore, it is essential to use several techniques for drawing small children in a cartoon style.
First and foremost, this involves a large head and a small body. Another important feature is the large eyes and a friendly facial expression. Finally, since this is an Electric-type Pokémon, we will be sure to reflect the characteristics of this species in the drawing.
As we wrap up, you’ll see how the techniques you’ve learned allow you to draw Pokémon with a charm and energy that’s true to the character. This isn’t just a drawing lesson; it’s a way to connect with the Pokémon world through art. So let’s get those pencils moving and bring your very own Pokémon to life!

How to Draw Pokémon
- Draw the outline of the head.
Begin by drawing an oval shape for the head. This simple shape will serve as the foundation for Pichu’s head. The oval doesn’t need to be perfect; a slightly rounded shape works well, capturing the soft and friendly appearance typical of small Pokémon.
- Add elements of the face.
Draw two circles for the eyes, positioned symmetrically on either side of the face. Then, draw a small curved line for the mouth, situated below the eyes. The line of the mouth is located very high, almost at the same level with the lower edges of the eyes.
- Sketch out the ears.
Next, sketch the large ears. Pichu’s ears are triangular and very large compared to its head, contributing to its expressive appearance. Draw two triangles on either side of the head, with the base of each triangle connecting to the head. Ensure the triangles are angled slightly outward.
- Depict the torso.
Now, draw the body. Pichu’s body is small and simple, shaped like a rounded rectangle or bean. Attach this shape directly under the head, keeping it proportionally smaller than the head to maintain the character’s youthful look.
- Draw the arms and legs.
Add the arms and legs. Pichu’s limbs are short and stubby, contributing to its cute and approachable appearance. So, draw two small ovals on either side of the body for the arms, and two more at the bottom for the legs.
- Sketch out the fingers.
Probably few people will notice these details, but it is important for a coherent, recognizable image. Draw small indentations on the hands of our Pokemon – these will be the thumbs. On the lower limbs, add longitudinal lines to represent the toes.
- Depict the tail and detail the color.
Draw the tail. Pichu’s tail is small and shaped like a jagged lightning bolt. Draw this at the bottom right of the body, ensuring it is proportionate and fits with the overall design. Then, add the outline of a jagged line on the neck, which is also associated with electricity.
- Add the rest of the elements.
Add details to our Pokémon’s face and head. First, draw the outlines of the black areas on the ears. Use angular, jagged lines to evoke the sense of electricity. Next, add some highlights to the inside of each eye. Complete this step by drawing blush marks on Pichu’s cheeks.
- Color the Pokémon.
Finalize the drawing by adding color. Pichu is predominantly yellow, with black ear tips, red cheeks, and light brown accents. Use these colors to bring your drawing to life, ensuring the shades are vibrant and true to the character.
