Understanding the Drawing Guide
Our tutorial is designed to guide you through every detail of Meelo’s character. Here’s how to navigate the guide:
- Red Color: Indicates the current step to concentrate on.
- Black Color: Represents the lines from previous steps.
- Grey Color: Demonstrates the foundational sketch for proportions.
The guide consists of 11 steps, starting with the basic sketch. Once the sketch is refined, artists can choose to ink it. It’s crucial to let the ink settle to avoid smudging. After the ink dries, gently erase the pencil lines. The final image showcases a colored drawing of Meelo, serving as a perfect color reference.
If your Meelo doesn’t look exactly like the reference, that’s completely fine, and honestly expected, especially in the early rounds of practice. Learning how to draw Meelo is really about building familiarity with the shapes and proportions over time, not nailing it perfectly on the first try.
