How to Draw Godzilla

1. Begin by drawing a circle. This will help you to draw Godzilla’s head.

2. Erase a portion of the circle to make way for Godzilla’s snout. Use curved lines to draw the roughly “W” shaped nose. Use curved lines and a small shaded oval to indicate the nostrils. Then, use a series of curved lines to draw the lower jaw. Note the jagged edge near the cheek.

3. Detail the eyes and head, erasing as necessary. Connect short lines that meet at jagged points on top of the scaly head. Use curved lines to outline the brows. Then, enclose the irregular rounded shape of the eye. Use a “C” shaped line for the ear.

4. Draw several successively smaller circles within the eye. Shade between the two smallest, indicating the pupil. Draw a curved line from the side of the upper jaw to the front of the lower jaw, outlining the inside of the mouth. Then, draw rounded triangular teeth along the edges of the mouth on both the upper and lower jaw.

5. Draw a series of short, curved lines that meet at jagged points descending from the back of the head. This outlines the back of the neck. From there, draw a “U” shaped line, beginning the bent arm. Use curved lines that meet at points to draw the fingers or claws, and additional curved lines to outline the back of the hand. Draw a curved line across the tip of each finger to distinguish the sharp claw. Draw several “C” shaped lines on the arm to indicate scales.

6. Draw a long, curved line from the jaw to below the hand. Allow another curved line to overlap the first and extend further. Draw a third curved line descending from the arm. The latter lines form the leg. Connect the lines using a series of short lines that meet at points, forming the toes. Then, draw a curved line across each toe to distinguish the claw. Finally, draw “C” shaped lines in clusters all over the body, indicating scales.

7. Draw a series of overlapping curved lines to enclose the ribbed belly. Then, use curved lines to outline the arm, hand, leg, and toes. Don’t forget to band the pointed fingers and toes with a curved line, forming the claw. Draw “C” shaped scale clusters on the arm and leg.

8. Draw the long tail using curved lines that meet at a gentle point. Band the tail with curved lines that don’t go all the way across.

9. Draw spikes on Godzilla’s tail and back. Use a series of curved lines of various lengths that meet at jagged points.

Color Godzilla. He is typically green or grey in color. Then, check out our other cartoon character drawing guides.
