How to Draw Charmander

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to draw Charmander from Pokemon. We will use a step-by-step approach that makes the drawing process fun.

This lesson emphasizes outlining first. You will start with the basic shapes of Charmander. You’ll see how simpler elements like eyes and nostrils come together beautifully with a little guidance.

By following these structured steps, expect a really good looking final drawing. Erasing overlapping lines makes all the difference. In fact, if you have a black marker you can use it to enhance all of Charmander’s outlines once they are full drawn in pencil.  Try to get all of your outlines completed before adding any color.

We have a bright palette: black, blue green, pink, and more. You will explore using each one based on my sample drawing which is fully colored.
