How to draw Lucario (SSBU)

Welcome to our step-by-step guide on how to draw Lucario from SSBU! By following this tutorial, you’ll unlock your artistic potential and bring Lucario, one of the most formidable fighters from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, to life on your sketchpad.

Deciphering Lucario’s Design

Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, is known for its unique blend of power and elegance. When drawing Lucario, pay attention to the following key characteristics:

• Its spike-studded body gives it a distinct silhouette and reinforces its martial theme.
• The pair of appendages extending backward from its head resemble dreadlocks or a samurai’s helmet, providing an exotic flair.
• Its wide, rounded eyes and snout exhibit an intriguing blend of canine and humanoid features.
• Lucario’s aura sensors, located on the back of its hands, are unique to its design and integral to its character lore.

Aside from Lucario, consider adding more similar characters for an action-packed scene. Characters like Pikachu, Charizard, or Greninja can make your drawing more dynamic and interesting.

Decoding the Guide

Our guide consists of 35 steps and follows a particular color-coding:

• Red Color: Indicates the current drawing step.
• Grey Color: Displays the basic proportions sketch.
• Black Color: Highlights the previously drawn lines.

The first three steps focus on creating a basic structure of the sketch using light pencil strokes for proportional accuracy. In the final step, you can choose to ink your sketch. Remember, use a smooth hand and try to create continuous lines. Once the ink dries, you can gently erase the pencil sketch to give your drawing a cleaner look.
