Today, let’s learn how to draw Pikachu from Pokémon. Pikachu is cute and shoots lightning, what isn’t there to love about this cute yellow Pokémon?
Pikachu is one of the most recognizable and well-loved characters by kids and many adults who grew up with Pokémon. It’s not just because Pikachu is a cute yellow mouse with red cheeks. Pikachu is so popular because of his adorable personality. Who wouldn’t want to have a Pikachu as a pet?
Pikachu’s eyes are small, very simple, rounded and black. A lot of our drawings use this exact same style of eye, so we don’t need to change anything on Pikachu to make him look kawaii or fit with our art style.
If you want to start with a Pokemon that is a little bit easier, you can check out our other tutorial to learn how to draw Jigglypuff.
