Before the time skip, Chopper had a slightly different look that many One Piece fans still consider the definitive version. This tutorial covers how to draw Chopper’s happy face in his pre-timeskip design, complete with Hiriluk’s hat and that joyful expression he is known for.
Capturing Chopper’s Classic Pre-Timeskip Look
The guide runs through 14 steps total, ending with the colored result. Since this is a face-focused drawing that includes just the top of his body, the steps stay manageable and move at a good pace from start to finish.
Visual Breakdown of This Version
- Pink top hat with white X mark
- Brown antlers sticking out both sides
- Wide open mouth, happy expression
- Blue nose and big round black eyes
- Light brown fur with tan face patch
There is already a tutorial for Chopper’s post-timeskip face on the site, so now both versions are covered. If you want to draw the full body instead, check out Chopper in full growth, or try something different with Chopper in his Dressrosa camo.

Here is how to read each step in the tutorial:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
