How to draw an Inkling Girl

The wide action stance and the bulk of the Splattershot Jr. weapon are the two things that make this how to draw an Inkling Girl tutorial more work than it might look at first glance, and both of those elements show up early in the Splatoon character lineup. Getting the legs, weapon, and upper body to feel proportionally connected in a single pose is the main thing this guide asks of you.

What This 38-Step Walkthrough Actually Covers

The tutorial runs 38 steps and ends as clean line art rather than a colored result, so every step is focused on building confident, accurate linework. The full body is drawn from head to toe, which means working through the weapon bulk on one side while keeping the figure balanced on the other. That asymmetry is where most of the pacing slows down, roughly in the middle third of the steps.

Inkling Girl’s Key Design Features

• Long straight hair with squid tentacle end
• Black mask-like marking across eyes
• Graphic tee and shorts outfit
• Large Splattershot Jr. ink blaster
• Wide-legged action stance

If you want more Splatoon characters to sketch after this one, the guide for Agent 4 is a solid next step, and the Inkling Boy shares enough structural overlap with this tutorial that drawing both back to back is a good way to practice the base proportions from different angles.

How the Step Colors Work in This Tutorial

Each step image uses a simple three-color system to show exactly what to draw and when:

• Red Color: lines added in the current step.
• Black Color: lines completed earlier.
• Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
