Let’s go over how to draw Chip – a Sanrio character, the cheerful little seal who often appears alongside Hello Kitty in her adventures.

The Chip drawing is simple, relying on smooth outlines and color contrasts that bring out his gentle expression.
Key Features to Observe While Drawing Chip

Chip is a Sanrio seal character who has appeared in Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater and other animated Sanrio series. He’s portrayed as a friendly, playful character who enjoys being part of the group. His simple design makes him a great subject to practice basic shapes, proportion, and clean outlines.
If you like drawing Sanrio animals, you might also enjoy sketching Charmmy Kitty, Pochacco, or Chococat next.

One thing I always find interesting about a character like Chip is how differently people interpret the same Sanrio design, with some going softer and rounder while others lean into sharper linework.
