Cartoon Max Mayfield on Paper
This step-by-step drawing covers 15 images total, with the final one being the colored result. The simplified style uses dot eyes, rosy cheeks, and a compact body with soft proportions, similar to the Will Byers simplified version and cartoon Vecna tutorials in this series.
Max’s Cartoon Design
- Long wavy red-orange hair past shoulders
- Small blue oval eyes with rosy cheeks
- Yellow raincoat with front buttons
- Striped pink and white shirt underneath
- Blue jeans and matching yellow rain boots
For those who want a more detailed version, there’s also Max with her skateboard and headphones in a realistic style. Drawing Max Mayfield in simplified style works well as a warm-up before tackling those more complex illustrations.
Reading the Step Colors
Each image uses three colors to track what to sketch:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
