How to Draw Pikachu

1. Begin the cartoon Pikachu outline by drawing Pikachu's face. Draw two circles. Then, draw an oval inside each circle and shade between them. These are Pikachu's eyes.

2. Shade a small rounded triangle to form the nose. Then, use curved lines to sketch his "W" shaped upper lip, open mouth, and tongue within it.

3. Use curved lines to outline the sides of his face and chin. Notice that the lines do not touch.

4. From each side of the head, extend a pair of curved lines. Allow each pair to meet at a point, forming the ears. Attach the ears with a curved line at the base.

5. Band each ear with a curved line to denote their black tips. Enclose an oval on each cheek.

6. Draw Pikachu's arms. For each arm, use two curved lines. Connect each pair with a zigzag line to denote the fingers of the hands or paws.

7. Extend a long curved line from the cheek to the opposite arm. This outlines and encloses Pikachu's body.

8. Use overlapping curved lines to sketch Pikachu's feet and toes.

9. Draw Pikachu's tail using a series of straight lines that meet at "L" shaped angles. Notice that the sides of the tail are much closer together near the body, expanding to form a large rectangle at the tip. Connect the lines with a straight line at the end.

Your cartoon Pikachu outline is now complete. Color your drawing. As an electric mouse Pokémon, Pikachu is bright yellow in color. The tips of his ears are black, his mouth is pink, and the circles on his cheeks are bright red.
