Waylon Smithers, the devoted assistant to Mr. Burns, is one of the most memorable characters in The Simpsons. Known for his loyalty and polished look, Smithers has a distinctive appearance that makes him fun to draw. In this guide, I’ll show you how to draw Smithers in easy steps.
Important Features to Capture Smithers’ Look
When drawing Smithers, there are a few key details that make him instantly recognizable:
- Flat-Top Haircut: Smithers’ hair is a neat, flat-top style, colored a unique brown with a slight fade on the sides.
- Round Glasses: His round glasses are a signature accessory, framing his eyes and adding to his intellectual look.
- Purple Bowtie: Smithers is always seen in a purple bowtie, adding a splash of color to his outfit.
- Green Jacket and Teal Pants: His outfit is polished and professional, with a green jacket over a white shirt and teal pants.
- Polite Stance: Smithers often stands with his hands neatly folded or behind his back, emphasizing his respectful and composed personality.
To add more Simpsons characters to your drawing, consider pairing Smithers with Homer or other employees of the power plant, like Lenny and Carl. Each character has a unique style that adds to the fun of a group drawing.
