  • Begin your drawing by making a rough circle followed by a smaller one on top of it (picture 1). The top circle will be the head of your Pikachu while the bottom one will be the body.
  • Then, draw two small circles as shown in picture 2 for the eyes, followed by a tiny nose and a half moon for the smiling mouth.
  • Draw two long triangular ears with curved sides on top of the head followed by one circle on the left cheek and a half circle (partially visible) on the right cheek. (Picture 3)

  • Next, draw two more “U”s (a little sideways facing) beneath the body for the legs.

  • Now, it is time to work on your Pikachu’s hands by drawing tiny fingers as shown in picture 8.
  • Erase the lower part of the body (the bottom circle) to draw the legs (Picture 8).

Fill the eyes and nose with black. Make sure to leave a small white circle in each eye for the pupils (picture 9). Make a tiny zig-zag line near the base of the tail to complete your Pikachu drawing.
