Distinguishing Features of Mike Wazowski
Before we dive into our drawing guide, let’s understand the physical attributes of Mike Wazowski that make him unique. Here are the key points to keep in mind:
- Mike is a spherical green monster with a single giant eye in the center of his body.
- He has two small horns on top of his head.
- Mike has slender arms and legs, each ending in four fingers and toes, respectively.
- In our drawing, he has a worried/surprised expression with open mouth, revealing his bottom row of teeth.
Understanding the Drawing Guide
Our guide offers 12 steps, starting with a basic sketch to capture the overall structure and proportions of Mike Wazowski. Here is how to interpret our guide:
- Red Color: This indicates the lines you should be drawing in the current step.
- Black Color: These lines represent the elements you’ve drawn in the previous steps.
- Grey Color: This denotes the basic sketch you’ve made during the initial stages.
As you reach the end of the guide, you have the option to ink your sketch. Use a fine-tipped marker to trace over your pencil lines, and wait until the ink dries to erase any pencil marks gently.
