Big City Greens built its whole premise around Cricket Green, the chaotic small-town kid who drags his family into one disaster after another, and this Big City Greens tutorial gives you a step-by-step walkthrough for how to draw Cricket Green in his signature cheering pose. The guide covers all 23 steps as line art, so the focus stays entirely on nailing the construction before any color work.
Breaking Down Cricket’s Exaggerated Cartoon Build
This is a full-body construction from head to toe across 23 steps, ending as clean line art with no color fill. The pose has both arms raised high, which introduces some asymmetry into the torso and sleeve shapes. Most of the detail work lands in the face, where the wide grin and oversized round head need careful proportion work to read correctly. The overalls add a few extra structural lines through the middle of the figure.
Cricket Green’s Key Visual Traits
- Oversized round head with large eyes
- Wide toothy grin dominates face
- Short spiky hair on top of head
- Wearing overalls with bib and buttons
- Both arms raised in cheering pose
If you want to keep building out the Green family after finishing Cricket, Gramma and Bill Green are both covered on the site, and Gloria Sato rounds out the main cast if you want to go further.
How the Step Colors Work in This Tutorial
Each step in this guide uses a three-color system to show exactly what to draw and when:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
