Welcome budding artists and Pokémon enthusiasts! Today, we will embark on a captivating artistic journey. Our tutorial will guide you step-by-step on how to draw the enigmatic ghost/fairy-type Pokémon – Mimikyu. Mimikyu, introduced in Generation VII, hides under a rag that mimics Pikachu to avoid the curse that befalls anyone who sees its true form. Let’s bring this elusive character to life on our canvas!
Getting to Know Mimikyu
Mimikyu’s unique appearance sets it apart, making it a fun and challenging subject to draw. Here are some key features:
- The costume designed to resemble Pikachu, though in a grayish-beige color rather than yellow.
- A wooden “tail” with a grayish-brown color.
- The “face” on the disguise is simple, featuring poorly drawn eyes, cheeks, and a zigzag mouth.
- Two holes in the body of the costume revealing Mimikyu’s actual eyes.
