Drawing a non-human monster form with animal legs, horns, and flowing hair takes a different approach than sketching a standard cartoon character, and this guide works through exactly that with Connie LaCienega from the Big Mouth series. This step-by-step tutorial on how to draw Connie LaCienega breaks the demon-like creature form into manageable stages so the proportions stay consistent all the way through.
What Makes This a Tricky Sketch
The tutorial runs 27 steps and ends on clean line art rather than a colored result, so all the focus goes into the structure and linework itself. The combination of a furry body, animal legs with clawed feet, and long hair creates a silhouette that has multiple competing vertical elements, which means getting the proportions right early matters a lot. The confident hands-on-hips stance also introduces slight asymmetry in the arm placement that is worth locking in before moving to detail work.
Connie’s Design at a Glance
- Two horns growing from the top of the head
- Long hair flowing down the back
- Smirking, confident facial expression
- Furry body with clawed animal feet
- Hands-on-hips standing pose
If you want to practice more characters from the show, Nick Birch and Maury are solid next steps, and Emmy Fairfax covers a very different body type that rounds out the range well.
Reading the Step Colors
Each step image uses a three-color system to show what is new and what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
