If you’ve ever watched the animated series “Josie & the Pussycats,” you’d know the vivacious, quirky, and endearing lead singer Josie McCoy. This tutorial aims to guide you on a journey to create a beautiful sketch of this lovable character.
Spotlight on Josie McCoy
Josie McCoy, with her iconic red hair and guitar, is a character full of life and ambition. Notably, she’s much more than just a talented musician; she’s also a symbol of determination, successfully achieving her dream of being a world-famous rock star before graduating high school.
When sketching Josie, you should focus on several key features:
- Her quirky and sometimes goofy expressions

As you sketch, consider adding her bandmates, Valerie and Melody, or even their manager, Alexander Cabot. Including these characters could provide depth to your artwork, and create a more dynamic scene from Riverdale.
