One of the most repeated gags in One Piece is Chopper’s reaction to compliments, where he pretends to be annoyed while doing a little dance and yelling “That doesn’t make me happy at all, you jerk!” This tutorial shows how to draw Chopper’s happy dance in his pre-timeskip design, capturing that full-body moment fans have seen hundreds of times throughout the series.
Drawing Chopper’s Most Iconic Reaction
This one goes through 18 steps, with the last step being the finished colored piece. Since it is a full-body drawing, the tutorial covers everything from Hiriluk’s hat down to the hooves, plus all the motion and expression that make this scene so recognizable.
What Makes This Chopper Drawing Stand Out
- Pink hat with white X mark from Dr. Hiriluk
- Eyes squeezed shut with huge open mouth
- Brown antlers poking through the hat brim
- Maroon shorts and round furry body
- Blue nose
- Small hooves with dark gray tips
This reaction is so tied to Chopper’s character that it shows up in nearly every arc. The site already has a tutorial for Chopper’s post-timeskip face and a full-body version of Chopper standing normally. There is also Chopper in his Dressrosa camo if you want to try a different outfit.
What the Line Colors Mean
Each step uses a simple color system to keep the drawing process clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
