How to draw Kowalski | Madagascar

There’s a certain charm in sketching our favorite animated characters. If you’ve been a fan of the Madagascar series, you’re likely familiar with Kowalski, the brainy penguin who can devise a plan for almost anything. If you’ve ever wanted to bring this character to life on your canvas, this is your guide on how to draw Kowalski.

Character Sketch: Understanding Kowalski

  • Position: Second-In-Command, Lieutenant, Shock Unit.
  • Intelligence: Outranks other penguins with his unparalleled intellect.
  • Roles: Team medic, head of R&D, and sometimes the ‘slightly mad scientist’.
  • Physical Traits: Notably taller than his penguin peers.
  • Personality: Loyal, narcissistic, and occasionally over-analytical.

It might be interesting to pair your drawing of Kowalski with other Madagascar icons like Skipper, Rico, or Private to showcase the full dynamic of the penguin team!

Understanding the Sketch Guide

Our guide will walk you through 8 detailed steps. Beginning with a foundational sketch, we focus on the basic structure and proportions using light pencil strokes. Here’s a breakdown of our color coding:

  • Red Color: Represents the current drawing step.
  • Black Color: Indicates the lines you’ve previously drawn.
  • Grey Color: Demonstrates the basic proportion sketch.

While the initial stages set the sketch’s foundation, by the final stages, you can opt to ink your drawing. Remember, after inking, wait for it to dry before erasing the pencil marks to prevent smudges.
