That long ponytail and wide toothy grin make Jessi Glaser one of the most readable characters in the Big Mouth lineup, and this step-by-step guide breaks down how to draw Jessi Glaser from scratch. The 23 steps work through her full-body line art from head to shoes, no color needed.
What to Expect From This 23-Step Walkthrough
This is a full-body, upright pose with no background elements, so all 23 steps stay focused on the character herself. The proportions follow the show’s flat, slightly stylized look, which means clean linework matters more than shading. The ponytail and the button-up polo add the most structural detail, and those sections are where the pacing slows down.
Jessi Glaser’s Key Design Features
- Long ponytail with side-swept bangs
- Wide smile with visible teeth
- Short-sleeve polo shirt with button
- Slim pants and flat shoes
- Relaxed upright standing pose
If you are working through the Big Mouth cast, Emmy Fairfax and Pete Doheny follow a similar construction approach and are worth trying alongside this one. Andrew is another full-body build that practices the same flat linework style.
Reading the Color Coding in the Step Images
Each step image uses a three-color system to show progress clearly:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
