How to draw Edith Gru | Despicable Me

If you’ve ever found yourself captivated by the intriguing world of Despicable Me, you might be familiar with the lively character, Edith Gru. As the spunky middle child amongst her siblings Margo and Agnes, Edith stands out with her unique style and personality. In this guide, we’re going to delve into how to draw Edith Gru with precision and flair.

Understanding Edith: Key Features

  • Facial Features: Edith’s dark bluish-grey eyes are framed by light blonde shaggy cut hair.
  • Clothing: She sports a striped pink chullo even in bed, which is one of her distinguishing traits. Pair this with her matching sweater, red skirt, and dark purple leggings. Lastly, she steps out in white boots with matching dark purple socks.
  • Personality: Her attire reflects her mischievous nature. Remember, when drawing characters, it’s not just about the appearance but also about capturing their essence.

Navigating the Guide: Color Codes & Steps

To facilitate a seamless drawing experience, we’ve introduced a color-coded system:

  • Red Color: Represents the current step to be focused on.
  • Black Color: Illustrates the lines drawn in previous steps.
  • Grey Color: Showcases the foundational sketch that assists in getting the proportions right.

The guide is divided into 10 steps, ensuring you cover each detail of Edith’s character. The initial step revolves around crafting a foundational sketch with light pencil strokes. By the end, you have the option to ink the sketch. Remember to wait until the ink dries before gently erasing the pencil lines to achieve a clean, polished look.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I accurately sketch Edith’s unique clothing?

Focus on the patterns and color differentiation. For her striped chullo, ensure even spacing between the stripes. When working on her leggings, the deep purple color should contrast with her red skirt, so maintain clear boundaries.

Any tips for capturing her playful personality?

Emotions often emanate from the eyes. Give her eyes a playful glint and maybe a cheeky grin or smirk. The posture also speaks volumes; a slightly tilted head or a springy step can reflect her mischievous nature.
