Are you a big fan of this cute little character? Do you want to draw this character? Hello Kitty is a popular character created by Sanrio. This is a quick and easy tutorial on how to draw Hello Kitty.
Steps
Draw a large oval for the head. Make sure you add in guidelines in the center of the oval for the eyes and nose: they are very helpful to draw the facial features. They should cross as seen, so you can use them in the next step when you add those features.- Sketch in two ovals for the eyes. Between and below them, draw another small oval for her nose.Advertisement
- Add two triangles for the ears, and three lines in each cheek for the whiskers. They can vary in length and flair; the usual style is shown here.
- At the left ear, start drawing her ribbon. Draw a large circle and two small circles on each side overlapping the large one. Draw two triangles in each side of the circle with curved sides.
- Draw a large, round-edged triangle. Draw two ovals for the feet.
- For the arms, draw ovals for each. Don't forget two circles for her thumb! Hello Kitty doesn't really have fingers, like a human, or paws, like a cat; her look is unique to her, so try hard to get it right.
- Add in her clothes. She usually wears a jumper and a shirt. (You can dress her in any kind of clothing you’d like, though!)
- Outline the image. Erase the guidelines and any other unnecessary marks.now your hello kitty's basic sketch is ready!!
- Color in your drawing. Use primarily shades of pink, with a dot of yellow for her nose and darker eyes/whiskers. You're done!
- Draw an oblong which matches the big head of Hello Kitty.
- Draw a purse-shape below the oblong. Draw a vertical line at the middle of the two shapes.
- Draw the hands or arms using curve lines. Draw small circles in each arm.
- Draw lines in the body for the clothes.
- Draw details for Hello Kitty’s ears, eyes, nose, and whiskers.
- Draw a flower at the right upper part of the head.
- Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines.
- Color to your liking!
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhy is the grey added during the coloring step?
Community AnswerShading helps give a picture a feeling of realism, making the shadows darker and the highlights lighter. Hello Kitty's fur is white, so the shadows on her fur would be a darker version of that - grey!
