Here’s a simple look at how to draw Hangyodon using clear shapes and a clean structure. This Sanrio character works well for a 12-step guide because his design is straightforward, and the large eyes make the sketch easy to plan.
A Quick Look at Hangyodon
- Large rounded head with a curved top fin.
- Two big circular eyes with small pupils.
- Pink oval mouth placed close to the bottom of the head.
- Side fins shaped like small blue half-circles.
- Body wider at the bottom with scalloped edges.
- Short arms.
- Small curved lines on the body suggesting texture.
Hangyodon debuted in 1985 and was created by Hisato Inoue. Born under Halley’s Comet and known for wanting to be a hero, he often ends up in funny situations instead. He enjoys collecting merchandise based on himself, has a shy romantic streak, and appears with Kingyochan in several stories. Before that, he even had a human love interest named Kumiko in a Strawberry News comic series.
If this drawing fits your collection, characters like Hana-Maru, Deery Lou, Badtz-Maru or Corocorokuririn work well next to Hangyodon.
