Today, we’re going to learn how to draw Bullet Bill, a cool character from the Mario games. Get your paper, pencils, and colors ready, and let’s have some fun drawing!
First, let’s draw the top of Bullet Bill. Make a straight line across the top of your paper. Then, draw another line below it, making sure it’s the same length as the first one.
Now, let’s make Bullet Bill’s body. Start at the top line and draw a big sideways “U” shape. This will be the bullet part. For the back, draw a smaller curve that doesn’t stick out as much.
To add some details, draw a short line going in and another short line going up at the back. Connect these lines with a curve. Then, draw a slanted line that matches the bullet’s height, sticking out at the top and bottom. Finish by adding longer lines at the top and bottom to complete the shape.
Bullet Bill needs an eye! Draw a slanted line at the front of the bullet. Then, make a “U” shape that curves down and back up. Inside the eye, draw a smaller “U” for the pupil and add a tiny circle for a shiny spot.
Let’s give Bullet Bill an arm. Start with a slanted line for the arm, then draw another slanted line going forward. For the fist, make a curve for the thumb and a line for the first finger.
Add three bumps for the knuckles, then draw the bottom of the hand leading up to the wrist.
To finish the arm, bend back to the elbow and then forward to make the shoulder. Connect these lines with a curve and draw a circle around the shoulder to complete the arm.
Great job! You’ve drawn Bullet Bill. Now, let’s color him in. You can color him black, but using gray can make him look shiny. Use darker gray for shadows and lighter gray for the body to make your drawing pop!
We hope you had fun drawing Bullet Bill! You can add more to your picture, like the cannon he comes from or even Mario. Keep drawing and have a great time!
