In this tutorial, I’m going to show how to draw Petunia Pig from The Day the Earth Blew Up. This version has 21 steps and works well if you’re familiar with basic cartoon proportions. Petunia’s current look from the film is a bit more detailed than her classic one.
Key Features of Petunia’s Movie Appearance
- Short black bob haircut with a large purple bow on the side
- Wide expressive eyes and lashes
- Pig-like snout and small ears
- Lab coat with pockets and collar
- Purple dress underneath the coat
- Flat feet and cartoon-style black-outlined shapes
You could try drawing Porky Pig or Daffy Duck from the same movie next. Their designs match well in style and theme.
Understanding the Visual Steps
- Red Color: current line to draw
- Black Color: already completed lines
- Grey Color: rough construction sketch for proportion reference

When you’re done sketching Petunia, feel free to share the result in the comments on the pinned post on Pinterest. Most artists attach their drawings there for others to check out.
And by the way, if you like watching how characters come together on paper, I post new videos every other day. So follow the SketchOk YouTube channel and stay updated.
