How to Draw Charmander

In this activity, we learn to draw Charmander, a species of Pokemon that has a nice behavior and is mild in manner. It has a flame that constantly burns at the tip of its tail. The bigger the size of the flame the more the power of the anime. The small, dinosaur-like bi-pedal character can be drawn easily thanks to the following step-by-step.

Step 1: Draw 2 overlapping ovals, the lower one bigger than the upper. The latter guide signifies the head while the former stands for the body.

It can be colored typically in orange with yellow for its underbelly. The flame on the tail looks good in a combination of orange and yellow. However, children are free to hone their creative skills for any color(s) that looks good on it. Little ones are great fans of the Pokemon franchise and this activity is sure to keep their attention for a long time.
