Before the magic powers and Anodite heritage, there was just a smart 10-year-old on summer vacation. This tutorial explains how to draw young Gwen Tennyson from the original Ben 10 series, Ben’s cousin who spent that fateful summer in the Rust Bucket discovering aliens and eventually her own abilities. Her blue cat shirt and sassy attitude made her instantly memorable alongside her grandfather and annoying cousin.

Good night, I’d like you to teach how to do gwendolyn Tennyson from Ben 10, who is Gwen’s future version. I hope you can give an answer
Sure, I will make the drawing of her in a few days
Ok thanks, although I would appreciate it if it was the original series version not the omniverse version, also thanks for answering
I added 5 drawings of Gwen 🙂
I’m not sure which one is from the original series. I would be grateful if you tell me about it in the comments to the corresponding drawing.
