The staff with its stacked geometric shapes at the top is the trickiest part of this drawing, and it sets the tone for Craig Williams in his adventure outfit, which is a step away from his usual look in the Craig of the Creek cartoon. This guide on how to draw Craig Williams walks through that detail alongside the diagonal sash, the pose, and everything else that makes this version of the character worth tackling.
Craig in Adventure Mode: What the Tutorial Covers
This is a full-body line art tutorial with no color, so all 16 steps focus entirely on getting the shapes and linework right. Craig is posed with one hand on his hip and the other holding the staff upright, which introduces a slight asymmetry to work through. The sash across his chest and the layered crystal-and-cube topper on the staff are where most of the detail work lands.
Craig Williams’ Design in This Version
- Dark bowl-cut hair with small bun
- Large round eyes and wide grin
- Jacket with diagonal sash across chest
- One hand on hip, one gripping tall staff
- Staff topped with crystal and cube shapes
If you enjoy drawing from Craig of the Creek, the tutorials for Kelsey Pokoly and Mortimor Pokoly cover two more characters from the same crew, and there is also a step-by-step for J.P. Mercer if you want to build out the full friend group.
Reading the Step Colors in This Guide
Each step uses a three-color system to keep the progression clear:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
