How To Draw Your Own Pokemon Trainer

Information technology's swell to encounter everyone again! Nosotros're bringing you the Pokemon Trainer Red drawing tutorial requested by Mr. Hot Stuff. Red was but 10 years old when he became really interested in Pokemons. One twenty-four hour period his biggest dream came true when professor Oak gave him and his rival Blue their first starter Pokemons forth with a Pokedex and send them on a mission to fill it with all kinds of Pokemons. As you lot know information technology was the kickoff of a great adventure! ^_^ We're going to be drawing Red's total body in today's tutorial. This can exist pretty catchy and information technology is recommended for intermediate to advanced mangakas, but we'll take information technology pace by pace as usual and so that even beginners can follow along and stock up their shape library. If you're interested in learning how to draw other Pokemon characters just click on the Pokemon tag in the tag cloud on the correct of the page. Get your materials out and nosotros'll learn how to draw Cerise.

Footstep 1

Pace 01: All of the bluish and green lines you run into in this tutorial are only constructin lines and volition be erased afterwards on in the tutorial then don't printing too difficult on your pencil. Our final lines yous'll see at the cease of the tutorial in black.

This footstep focuses on the head which we volition draw in the upper center of our paper. Each torso seqment will be equal to the head and at that place will be a total of five segments in all and so make sure to leave enough infinite on your paper for the rest of Red!

We'll begin with our caput circle. Once you lot've drawn that, nosotros'll add the center and eye lines. The heart line is straight, but titled at a slight angle so that it starts at the top of the head circle a lilliputian left of eye and extends down below the head circumvolve. The eye line is horizontal and is a petty below the one-half mode signal on the caput circle. When we've got our head, our center and eye lines, permit's describe the jaw outline.

As you might remember from our previous tutorials, when the head is turned slightly as it is in Red's example, the side that is turned towards u.s.a. volition be smoother and less angular than the other. In this example the right side will exist smoother than the left. Then starting on the left at almost where the eye line meets the head circle nosotros need to draw two lines, ane almost direct down, the second at an angle to reach the bottom of the center line. From here, the chin, we'll depict two lines back up to the head circle on the right side. Again, the angle of the jaw will exist smoother than on the left.

Step 2

Stride 02: So based on the size of the head, nosotros'll demand four more head-sized sections for each of the body segments. I've drawn them as green construction lines so you can see the sections easier.

Now, in this pace we're going to be calculation the principal trunk shape outlines to each of the sections. Department 2 is for the chest/body, section 3 is for the hips, 4 is for the legs and knees, and v for the lower legs and feet. Due to the mode Reddish is posed, turning slightly to the left and with his foot on the right a fiddling bit frontward, we'll be able to see more of the torso on the correct side of the picture. Let'south go cartoon!

In section two below the head we should draw a foursquare like shape leaving just a little space above and beneath the shape. The edges of our "square" volition be rounded and the top of the square should be slightly wider than the bottom. Connect the chest to the head with a short line only to the right of the chin.

Moving downwardly to department 3, we'll depict the hips, which are placed in virtually the middle of section three. We need to draw an underwear like shape for the hips (call back panties in 3D ^_-). We'll commencement by drawing the titled ellipse on the right and then adding a triangle shape for the residue of the pelvis. When you've got that, connect the pelvis to the breast with a line.

In section iv, we'll draw the two small circles for the knees at the bottom of department four. Nosotros'll then connect the knees to the pelvis with straight lines. The line on the right volition cease in near the middle of the ellipse we drew for the right hip.

In department 5, we'll brainstorm by drawing the shapes for Red's anxiety. A piddling note hither near the feet. The foot on the left isn't really bigger than the one on right, nor is the leg on the right any longer than the leg on the left. The key here is that in order to requite Red the 3D look we're going for, we accept Red's human foot on the left turned outward so nosotros see the whole foot while on the right we're looking at the foot directly on so nosotros see the front end and top of the foot simply not really much of the side. Also, Red's right foot should look like information technology'southward slightly ahead of the left pes, and to attain this nosotros make the right leg a little longer. so, at the lesser of section 5 below the knee circle on the left, we'll depict a rounded triangle shape for the left pes, which nosotros can connect to the knee with a straight line. The foot shape on the correct volition be even more rounded than the shape on the left. It is besides placed a little to the right of the knee joint and not straight below it. When drawing the human foot on the right it should overlap our section five line with about half the foot below the line. We'll and then connect the foot to the knee with a straight angled line. Before moving on we demand to draw the horizontal ellipse (longer than alpine) that overlaps the outer end of the left foot shape, which is for the toes of the human foot that nosotros can see.

Whew!! That was quite a step. Just now that we've got all the major shapes in place we tin move in to focus on individual sections and details.

Step 3

Step 03: Ok, mangakas, in this step we'll do an outline of Scarlet'southward chapeau and work on the arms. Let'south start up in section 1 with the head. We'll being by drawing another horizontal center line beneath our first one. It should exist quite depression, near the bottom of the head circle and pass through the jaw as well. When you've got that nosotros'll work on the outline for Crimson's hat. It might be a skilful idea to beginning at the top of the caput and draw the short horizontal line that's above the head and only to the right of the middle line for the summit of the hat. Then we tin can draw the 2 lines on either side connecting the sides to the tiptop of the lid. As you can see from the image above the chapeau sits very close to the caput on the left, simply is farther away on the right. Adjacent, let's draw the two brusque lines for the neck connecting the chest to the jaw. The left line for the neck should exist only to the left of the chin point.

At present, we'll motion down to do the outline of the artillery and easily. We'll begin with the arm on the left. Get-go past cartoon the pocket-sized circumvolve for his elbow that rests on the line between section two and 3. Then downwards in section three, just below the hip on the left, we'll depict the irregular half moon, or UFO shape for the mitt (actually, it'southward the pocket of his pants, inside of which is his paw -_^). Then we can connect the paw to the elbow circle, and the elbow to the chest shape with direct lines. The arm should touch the chest well-nigh a third of the way down the breast shape. For the arm on the right, we'll outset by drawing the elbow circle a little below the section 2 line and farther out away from the body than the elbow on the left. So, we'll draw the irregular hand shape on the section two line. The paw is a very irregularly shaped v-sided polygon, and so I recommend simply using the image above as a guide to re-create. Above the mitt we'll draw a medium sized circle for his Pokeball which he is casually tossing in the air. To finish up this footstep, just connect the mitt to the elbow and the elbow to the chest at almost the same spot on the body shape as on the left. Notice, the forearm line overlaps the elbow circumvolve and stops in almost the middle of the elbow every bit the forearm is pointing toward u.s., while the upper arm line starts on the outside of the elbow circle.

Step iv

Step 04: Great work so far anybody! Permit'south stick with the caput and neck for a couple of steps. We'll begin by drawing the bill of his chapeau. It might be easiest to draw the upper and lower "^" shapes, the bottom "^" starting outside the head circle and stopping at most where nosotros want the center to be, and the top "^" starting on the head circle and stopping above the superlative eye line and to the right of the right centre. Then connect the ends with angled lines, and finally draw the line in the heart dividing the bill into two halves. Got information technology? Great.

Nosotros tin can go on from the betoken of the bill of the hat on the right and draw the forked hair piece. So, we'll motility on to the eyes. We'll start with the eye on the left, beginning with the athwart line for the upper hat that starts simply on the bottom of the hat. And so add the "U" shape for the heart, the bottom of which should residuum on the lower eye line. The eye on the right also sits on the lower centre line and is more of a full ellipse with just the peak corner of the eye subconscious behind the right corner of the nib of his hat. Let's movement down and add the nuance on the head circle to the left of the center line for his nose. And below that, in the jaw expanse nosotros'll add the mouth which curves down slightly at the ends and a shorter straight line below that. Finally, we'll describe the neckband to Reddish'southward jacket. Information technology's probably easiest to draw the large "V" shape commencement, the tops of which are but below our upper section two line. The left leg of the "V" is outside of the torso, while the correct stops in about the middle of the cervix. Then, on the left, just connect the acme of the "V" to the jaw line. On the correct nosotros'll describe a similar line on the top of the "5" but we'll then need to draw a second line connecting it to the jaw line on the right and a third line connecting that corner to the body.

Step 5

Step 05: Let'due south stick with the head in this step and we'll add some details here and some hair ^_^. Start with the ears. On the left nosotros'll draw a very thin "c" shape on the jaw line using the lower eye line as our mid point. On the correct, we'll depict a larger "C" shape starting from the tip of the hair fork we drew in the previous pace and stopping on the jaw on the correct. Inside the ear, we'll add a 2nd smaller "c" shape for the inner ear. Side by side, we'll add the squiggly "z" shape for the pilus spike on the left that between the bridge of the hat and the middle of the ear. When you've got that, go ahead and depict the two concentric "c" shapes for the mark on his hat just above where the nib of Red's hat comes to a point. Next, we'll work on the optics. In the eye on the left we'll draw a "C" shape inside the inner correct of the center (closest to the eye line). Then we'll draw a modest almost full circle for the reflection spot in his eye and a 2d smaller "c" shape connecting the spot to the eye. For the center on the right nosotros should do about the same thing, drawing a "C" shape inside the inner eye closest to the centre line, then add a circle for a reflection spot and a 2nd "c" shape. When you've got the eyes washed, we'll draw the sharp line over the eye on the right for his eye brow. Then, on the right, we accept to add three more hair spikes. We'll depict a "V" on the underside of the forked hair fasten and one on the top of the forked pilus fasten. So from about the centre of the ear on the right nosotros'll draw a forked pilus spike that so connects to the jaw. When you've got all that, permit's move down to the neck expanse and we'll describe his shirt. Start with the upside down checkmark shape that starts at the neck line on the left and stops at the bottom of the "V" shape. Then add the slightly curving line for the acme of his t-shirt.

Step six

Step 06: Now for steps 6-nine we're going to exist working on Red's artillery, pants and feet. There are lots of irregular shapes and lines in these steps that aren't actually possible to describe in detail. And then, I'll signal out how I remember it's best to draw them only you should utilise the images above each step as a more concrete guide for your ain drawing. Let'south get started. Here, we're going to draw Ruddy's right arm, fingers and the marks on the Pokemon Ball. Hither's the lodge I would follow. Start past drawing the long "5" or icicle shape for the shoulder strap of his backpack, starting at the bottom correct corner of the neckband. Then describe the thin ellipse shape for the opening of the sleeve of his t-shirt. Next, do the shoulder, connecting to the right side of the ellipse we but drew, the left side of the ellipse will bear on the "V" shape. Moving on, you might want to depict the fingers first on the hands, add together the pollex. And and so, from the end of the pinky finger draw the smaller and and then larger "C" shapes effectually the wrist for Reddish's wrist band. Only then will nosotros describe the arm proper. Start with curving "s" shape for the acme side of the forearm connecting it to the pinnacle of the wrist ring. And then draw the bicep line connecting the "s" to the ellipse of the sleeve. Finally, draw the lower part of the arm. To terminate off this step, draw the curving line in the Pokemon Ball and add the circumvolve.

Footstep 7

Step 07: Now for Ruby-red'southward arm on the left and the pants. Again, nosotros'll start with the "v" like shape for the should strap to his haversack, though notice that it's a lot shorter than on the right. No need for an ellipse for the sleeve, so we can but draw the shoulder and two lines just above the elbow circumvolve to finish the sleeve. Next, we'll finish off the remainder of Red's jacket connecting the bottom of the "V" shapes on either side with a line that runs across the top of the pelvis for his pants line. If you lot've washed it right then the jacket line on the left will besides serve as an arm line. But connect the corner of the jacket with the pocket with a "C" shape for the wrist band, and so connect the sleeve with the wrist ring using a slightly curving line. When you lot've done all that, nosotros'll draw the pants. Just two things to annotation here. Firstly, the top of the pants and the inner seam are adequately direct, even coming to a signal in the crotch area, while the lesser of the pants are squiggly suggesting appendage and wrinkling/overlap. The second thing to annotation when drawing the pants is that the bottom of the pant leg on the left is airtight as it is subconscious backside the shoe, overlapping 3d principle here, while on the right we exit it open.

Pace 8

Stride 08: We'll continue here to practice some detailing to the wearing apparel and add Red's back pack. Allow's begin with the three lines on his jacket. You can starting time with the eye line from the lesser of the "5" cervix, add ane to the left and add one to the correct. On the right we demand to connect our line with the lesser of the neckband on the right. Then nosotros tin draw the shield on the right side overlapping the shoulder strap for his backpack. Draw a larger shield shape and then a smaller one inside of it. Inside the small shield add the vertical ellipse (taller than wide), then the dash on either side of the ellipse connecting it to the inner, smaller shield, and finally, the upper ii dashes connecting the inner shield to the outer 1. Moving down to the pants, nosotros'll draw the straight line across the pelvis but below the bottom of the shirt, then the shape for his zipper. When you've got that you can employ the image above to guide yous in cartoon the haversack using the elbow on the right as a guide.

Pace 9

Step 09: Here, we'll depict the contraction marks in Red's pants and then the marks on his shoes. The lines in the pants are irregular squiggle marks, 2 of them are around the knees and then ii more longer ones lower, towards the shoe. Practice your best to imitate the irregular shapes on the shoe.

Step ten

Step x: That's information technology for our construction lines, mangakas. Take out your eraser and lighten all of the lines we've made so far and and so become out your pen and trace your final lines. Then, using your pen, we'll fill in the following areas: Cherry-red's hair, the pupils of his eyes leaving the round reflection spot empty, the sleeves of his T-shirt, and the shirt area inside the "v" neck shape, the wrist bands, the ring on his haversack, the bottom of his backpack, and the shapes on his shoes.

Step 11

Stride 11: Once your ink dries, but take out your eraser and completely erase whatever remaining construction lines that you lot tin run across. Take a wait, you've done an amazing job of cartoon Red Pokemon Trainer! If your goal is to become a great mangaka make certain to draw Crimson once again from memory. And so compare the final drawing with the original and right any mistakes you might have made. Try once once more from retention. This is the all-time mode to build a huge library of shapes that you lot can use in the time to come for your own manga characters.

Draw with passion! -_^
