Drawing is a great way to let your imagination run wild and create something unique. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to draw a Smurf, the blue creatures with white hats from the famous comic book and TV series.
Materials
Before we start drawing, let’s gather all the necessary materials. You will need:
- Pencil
- Eraser
- White paper
- Coloring materials (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sketch the Basic Shapes
Begin by sketching the basic shapes of the Smurf. Draw a small circle for the head, a bigger circle for the body, and two ovals for the arms.
Step 2: Define the Body Shape
Using the circle as a guide, draw the outline of the Smurf’s body. Make sure you define the curves carefully, as the Smurf has a round shape.
Step 3: Add Details to the Face
Draw the facial features of the Smurf. Start by drawing the eyes and nose, then add the mouth. Smurfs have a big nose, so make sure you don’t forget that.
Step 4: Draw the Hat
Smurfs wear a white hat that has a red top. Draw the shape of the hat by making a small circle on top of the head, then drawing a curved line connecting it to the body. Add a small red circle on top of the hat.
Step 5: Add the Arms and Hands
Next, draw the arms and hands of the Smurf. Make sure you draw the arms at a slight angle to make it look like the Smurf is holding something.
Step 6: Sketch the Legs and Feet
Draw the legs and feet of the Smurf. Make the legs slightly shorter than the body and draw the feet as small ovals.
Step 7: Add Details to the Hat
Add fur details to the hat by making small curves around the bottom of the hat. Then, add folds to the hat to create dimension.
Step 8: Outline Your Drawing
Once you’re happy with your sketch, use a pen or marker to outline your drawing. This will make it easier to see all the details and make your drawing look crisp.
Step 9: Color Your Smurf
If you like, you can color your Smurf. Smurfs are blue with white hats and red pants, so use those colors to bring your Smurf to life.
Step 10: Add Shadows and Highlights
To add depth to your drawing, add shadows and highlights. Shade in the areas that are darker and use a white pencil or eraser to create highlights.
FAQs
1. I’m having trouble drawing the Smurf’s nose. Any tips?
Try sketching the nose lightly with your pencil first and then gradually darkening it. The Smurf’s nose should be big and round, so take your time to get it right.
2. What’s the best way to make the Smurf’s hat look fluffy?
Add small curved lines to the bottom of the hat, then use your pencil to create shading that makes the lines look like fur.
3. My Smurf’s legs are too long. Can I fix it?
Of course! Simply use your eraser to adjust the length of the legs.
4. Is it necessary to color the Smurf?
No, it’s not necessary. You can leave your Smurf as a sketch or outline if you like.
5. My Smurf’s arms look too skinny. What can I do?
Try making the arms more curved and add more shading to make them look thicker.
6. Should I draw shadows and highlights even if I’m not coloring my Smurf?
Yes! Shadows and highlights will add depth and dimension to your drawing, regardless of whether or not you choose to color your Smurf.
