If you’re looking for a simple and fun cartoon character to draw, let me walk you through how to draw Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls. Based on the image, this version of Dipper is in a basic standing pose with crossed arms and a confident smile. The design is clean and not too detailed, so it’s beginner-friendly and great for practicing cartoon proportions.
What to focus on when drawing him
- Large round eyes with small pupils
- Simple curved eyebrows
- Classic blue-and-white cap with a blue pine tree emblem
- Brown hair peeking out from under the cap
- Red-orange shirt and dark blue open vest
- Greenish-blue shorts
- White socks with a black stripe and black shoes
- Hands crossed over the chest
- Neutral stance with legs slightly apart
After you’re done with this Dipper Pines drawing, you could try Mabel Pines, Grunkle Stan, or Bill Cipher next. All of them have unique silhouettes and styles that go well with Dipper.
