Drawing Cuphead: A Fun Guide

Let’s learn how to draw Cuphead, a fun character from “The Cuphead Show” on Netflix! Cuphead is a playful character who loves adventures with his brother, Mugman. Are you ready to draw? Let’s get started!

Materials Needed

Before we start, make sure you have these things:

  • Pencils
  • Markers
  • Paper
  • Coloring materials

Step 1: Sketching the Basic Shapes

Let’s begin by drawing some simple shapes:

  1. Draw the Head: Make a big circle for Cuphead’s head. Use your pencil lightly so you can erase if needed.
  2. Shape the Cup: Turn the circle into a cup by drawing two lines down from the sides and a curved line on top.
  3. Add the Body: Draw a smaller circle under the head for the body, leaving some space in between.
  4. Connect the Head and Body: Draw two lines to join the head and body together.

Step 2: Adding Arms and Legs

Now, let’s add arms and legs:

  1. Draw the Arms: Draw a curve from each shoulder for the arms, ending with a small circle for the fists.
  2. Sketch the Legs: Draw two lines from the bottom of the body for the legs, and connect them with an oval for the shorts.
  3. Add Shoes: Draw big ovals at the bottom of each leg for the shoes.

Step 3: Adding Details

Time to add some details to make Cuphead look awesome:

  1. Cup Handle: Draw a big “C” shape on the side of the head for the handle, with a smaller “C” inside it.
  2. Straw: Draw a short line coming out of the top of the head for the straw, then curve it to the left.
  3. Facial Features:
    • Draw a small oval for the nose.
    • Add two big ovals for the eyes, leaving space for the pupils.
    • Draw a curved line for the mouth and a heart shape for the tongue.
  4. Eyebrows and Wrinkles: Add eyebrows above the eyes and some wrinkles on the cheeks.

Step 4: Outlining with Marker

Once you’re happy with your pencil sketch, use a marker to outline your drawing. Start with the face, then outline the head, body, arms, and legs. Don’t forget the cup handle and straw!

Step 5: Finalizing the Drawing

Let’s finish up your drawing:

  1. Erase Guidelines: Use an eraser to remove any pencil lines you can still see.
  2. Add Color: Time to color! Use light yellow or gray for the cup and legs, red for the straw and pants, and yellow for the gloves.
