A large bushy mustache, round glasses, and crossed arms make Gramma one of the more visually distinct characters in the Big City Greens lineup, and this guide walks through how to draw Gramma step by step from that compact silhouette up. The ruffled collar and slippers round out a look that is all personality.
What to Expect From These 27 Steps
The tutorial runs 27 steps and ends on clean line art rather than a colored version, so the focus stays on getting the shapes and proportions right. Gramma is drawn in a full-body standing pose with arms folded, which means the upper body carries most of the detail work while the lower dress shape keeps things relatively simple. The mustache and glasses sit close together on a small face, so that cluster of features is where careful line work pays off most.
Gramma’s Key Visual Features
- Curly white hair, wide round glasses
- Large bushy mustache on face
- Long dress with ruffled collar
- Arms crossed over chest
- Slippers on feet
If you are working through the Green family, Nancy Green and Tilly Green are good companions to this one, and Saxon adds a bit of variety to the mix as well.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what is already in place:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
