How To Draw Powerpuff Girls

We have always wondered what it takes to become a great artist or cartoonist for that matter but we forget that the simple basics such as illustrated in this video is all that is required to be good at art.

I'm going to show you how to draw the Powerpuff girls. I'm going to draw all three today so what I'm going to do is I'm going to draw an oval shape here. Sort of across between the circle and an oval so I'm going to go outward just so to get a rough shape. I'm going to draw the middle one first and then I'll draw the others afterwards. And once you got your rough shape then I'm going to draw the hair. So we're going to come across with the hair like this at the top of the circle like that. Now, the powerpuff girls have very large eyes so if you want to draw coming from the edge of sort of the oval circle that you draw, you want to come out quite wide so you just do a couple of thin lines just to make sure you're getting roughly where you want it to go and you come up to where the hair is so you're going to draw those like that. Once you got them where you want them you can sort of thicken them up slightly and you've got to shape them a bit like a forehead, just put a little smile out there in the middle to make it easier and more like a face. Right, from here we're going to do the actual eye like the people's so we're going to draw the eye in there like that and go to the other side. She's looking in this direction so we're going to do the other eye like a real life come up under the hair so we can set them where you wanted and then you put your clear, they have got larger more people and now we're going to just work on the hair touch. So the hair here you follow it out with the level with the shape you've actually drawn so you put the hair there and you're going to come in from the sides and where the hair splits you're just going to come up, and then you back out and you come back in and you cut along the top of the eye then you kind of go up and down, back in. This is the same shape on the other side as what you have just done here as you go up and out like so. Now we're going to go now to the bow that she's got on her hair so you come up to draw this sort of shape towards the top and a little bit just in the middle and same on the other side the point looks slightly in the other direction or like that. Now when you come to the eyes here, a worry jam sort of people so you're going to shade that in and this her hair, all that she comes really obsessed a little bit more so you want to come back up a little bit of hair but that's why when you join an open group because if you ever make mistakes you kind result to very interesting light on the hair because I've pasted the light of a different colour when you have finished. So anyway I've got the shape of the first power puff girl. Now so now I'm going to work on the bodies. So for the body for this time you're going to come down because they've got very small bodies in comparison to your straight line down, a little bit around here at the bottom and a little bit around there and straight back up like so. If you put two little marks on each beside like this represents her arms and if you come down like that and nearly to the bottom you can cut back in the same on the other side you are looking at her hand and this comes too a little bit like that. Now for the clothes, if you do a lined sort of three quarters to the right to the bottom, this will represent her dress and a line near the bottom and that's going o be her shoes, these are just straight lines and then a line in the middle that is going to shade that in and that is the strand on her dress. So we have partially got half part of our powderpuff girl done. Now we're going to draw the other two. So off to the side to this one, we can always do another one over here but always I want to do them where they're slightly standing behind the main one at the front. So off of her hair you do another shape like your original shape. Just there's a light line to start with to get it right and then do the one on the other side and do both of them at the same time. Circle roughly where you want them and then we're going to come out like so. Again the hair although the hair is slightly different it's pretty much the same lighter drawing. You come along there and it goes to the one on the right, first and we're going to put a little tip up in the middle because this is where we're going to have black hair and we're going to thicken up by the nape and we pretty much got our hair where we want it. Now the eyes again, just thicken up her face. You can see now we're going come to the eyes again now the eyes the same as the old thing but what we're going to do her looking slightly in a different direction , the other one she's looking more because her head is tilted to the sides and we're going to do the eyes like so. We're going to come out a little bit wider than this one actually. It doesn't matter because we're going to colour this bit anyway and it will come out a little wider there. So and we're going to around and this hair is kind around and so as we're drawing with the pencil and if we get any line straight down one the more you look in your hair or sort of point in the right place, doesn't really matter. So a little smile with the pencil, though this hair inside we can see better. So this one here with the colours of the eyes you're going to come round like this. You cut a little bit to the left and a little bit there. So you've got to shade the left. On this side of the face here she's got a little piece of hair we're going to do coming up from there so a little so close to the camera from the corner of the eye and we've got her face there. The body, we're going to just do it to the right, she should lean peering out from behind the other so we're going to come down same shape as before but obviously these lines not straight but slight enough and we've got the body there, same as before with the dress and the shoes and the stripe, shade it in. More to the arms, she has a runny hair behind her and that is the second part of power puff girl. Now for the third one is exactly the same again but this one has got slightly different hair so near the top of the face we're going to bring the hair out and then we're going to come down and just thicken up her circle slightly and there you've got it roughly where we want. Move the lines over the in the middle of the neck right now again the eyes are very big so we should come right her hair with her left side and right her hair with this one. Bring her face in just a touch here and we've got the face where we want it. We're going to come up round for the peoples so this side is going to be slightly obscured from behind that on there. So we shade it again, now put a little smile down there and again this body is going to be leaning towards the middle character, the same body again, line for the shoes, line for the dress, stripe in the dress again as before and we should shade it in and then we should put the arms on behind the back. Always left to do now, add a couple of lines up there and add in her hair coming off from the side here. And there you have the powerpuff girls.
