Let’s explore how to draw Hana-Maru. This Sanrio character has a very simple seal silhouette and the little details that define him, like the whisker lines and the flower he holds.
Meeting Hana-Maru, The Good-Natured Seal
- White seal standing upright with a smooth, continuous outline from head to tail.
- Large rounded head that is wider than the body.
- Tiny dot eyes placed far apart and slightly above the center of the head.
- Simple mouth that looks like a rounded “w” shape.
- Three short whisker lines on each cheek, angled slightly.
- Body shaped like a long vertical capsule that ends in a small split tail fin.
- Front flippers drawn as curved lines on the torso, forming a simple gesture of holding the stem.
- Single red flower with a round center and simple petals, positioned in front of the chest.
If you enjoy this character, the next logical choices to draw are Badtz-Maru himself, Deery-Lou, or other Sanrio friends like Hello Kitty, Corocorokuririn and Keroppi to build a small Sanrio drawing collection on one page.
