How to Create a Folding Surprise Pokéball with Pikachu
Let’s have some fun making a folding surprise Pokéball that hides Pikachu inside! This is a great activity for Pokémon fans and a fun way to practice drawing. Are you ready to start?
Materials Needed
First, gather these materials:
- Markers
- Paper
- Coloring tools (like crayons or colored pencils)
- Scratch paper (to keep your table clean)
Step 1: Prepare Your Paper
- Fold the Paper: Take the top edge of your paper and fold it down to meet the bottom edge. Make sure it lines up nicely and press the fold well.
- Create the Top Flap: Unfold the top flap back up to the top edge, pressing it down again.
- Flip and Repeat: Turn the paper over and do the same folding with the top flap.
Step 2: Draw the Pokéball
- Position Your Scratch Paper: Put your scratch paper under your drawing paper to stop markers from going through.
- Draw the Circle: Draw a big circle for the Pokéball. The top half should be above the fold and the bottom half below it.
- Add Details: Draw a smaller circle in the center and a line to split the top and bottom halves.
Step 3: Color the Pokéball
- Coloring: Color the sections between the lines and circles. Take your time and have fun!
- Open the Drawing: Open your drawing to see the Pokéball.
Step 4: Draw Pikachu
- Position for Drawing: Make sure you draw everything below the top fold and above the bottom fold so it stays hidden when folded.
- Draw Pikachu’s Head: Start with an upside-down U-shape for Pikachu’s head.
- Add Ears: Draw two long, curved lines for Pikachu’s ears, connecting them to the head.
- Draw Eyes and Mouth: Add two circles for eyes, smaller circles inside for highlights, and a curved “W” for the mouth. Draw a big U-shape below the mouth for a smile.
- Add Cheeks and Arms: Draw half circles for Pikachu’s cheeks and upside-down U-shapes for his arms, keeping them above the bottom fold.
Step 5: Final Touches
- Color Pikachu: Now color Pikachu! You can take your time to make it look just right.
- Add Highlights: Add a white highlight to the Pokéball to make it shiny and some shading for a 3D effect.
Step 6: Reveal Your Creation
- Open the Pokéball: On the count of three, open your creation and say “Pikachu!”
- Add Extra Details: Feel free to add more Pokémon or details around Pikachu, keeping them within the folds.
Conclusion
Great job! You’ve made a folding surprise Pokéball with Pikachu inside. Remember, the most important part is to have fun and enjoy drawing. It’s okay if your drawings look different; being creative is all about expressing yourself. Keep drawing and have a fantastic time!
