This guide explains how to draw Ai, a Sanrio character, in 12 steps. Ai is part of the Lightning Girls alongside her sisters Shi and Teru, and she’s known as the girlfriend of Goro from Goropikadon. The difficulty level is easy since her proportions are simple, but her curly hair and outfit details require some work.
Main Features of Ai
- Hair: Large round orange curly hair with a simple yellow accessory on top.
- Face: Small eyes, freckles, and a rounded face.
- Outfit: Tiger-striped outfit, typical of the Goropikadon theme.
- Body: Short and rounded chibi-like body style with small arms and legs.
- Pose: Standing with hands close to her chest, simple but expressive.
