Peter Griffin is the star of the adult animated sitcom, Family Guy. He has a wife named Lois, a dog named Brian, and three children - Meg, Chris, and Stewie.
Peter is a blue-collar worker in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island. He frequents a local tavern called the Drunken Clam. He has a low I.Q., a short attention span, and is often shown to be naive in nature. He is also impulsive, and his behavior leads to awkward situations.
Did you know? Series creator Seth MacFarlane voices both Peter and his youngest son, Stewie. Peter has made appearances on other shows, including The Simpsons, South Park, American Dad!, and The Cleveland Show.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing Peter Griffin from Family Guy
1. Begin by drawing a curved line to indicate the back and top of Peter's head, his overhanging hair, and his cheek.
2. Draw a small "C" shaped line within the outline of the head to form the ear. Detail it with a short line inside it. Then, use a curved line to form the hairline. Next, draw a curved "V" shaped line at the bottom of the head to form the neck. Enclose a triangular shape under each side of the "V" to form the collar of the shirt.
3. Begin to detail the face. Draw two large circles to form the rims of the glasses. Connect them to each other and to the ear using short, straight lines. Shade a small circle within each rim to indicate the pupil of the eye, and draw straight lines across the tops of the rims to form the eyelids. Use a "C" shaped line to form the nose.
4. Use a series of curved lines to sketch the arm. At the elbow, enclose a curved shape to indicate the rolled sleeve. Extend the arm further using curved lines, and enclose the hand using overlapping "U" shaped lines.

5. Use a series of long and short overlapping lines to draw the torso. Draw a long, curved line downward from the collar of the shirt, and connect it to the arm using shorter curved lines. Draw a similarly long line at the side of the body, and connect it to the central line using short, overlapping lines.
6. Outline the remaining sleeve using a curved line, and enclose a curved shape at the bottom of it to indicate its rolled end. Outline the lower arm and hand using curved lines.
7. Continue to detail the face. Use a series of curved lines to outline the open mouth, tongue, lower lip, and chin.
8. Draw small circles along the central line of the shirt, indicating buttons. Draw several small lines across the central line, distinguishing the top of the potbelly. Draw an oval at the bottom of the shirt, and enclose several rectangles on each side of it, forming the belt.
OTHER EASY DRAWING GUIDES:
9. Use curved lines to outline the legs and feet. Distinguish the shoes from the pants by drawing a curved line.
Color Peter. He typically wears a white shirt and green pants.
