Today, we’re going to learn how to draw Mew, a super cute Pokémon! Get your paper, pencils, and colors ready, and let’s have some fun drawing together!
Let’s start with Mew’s eyes. Draw two upside-down “U” shapes in the middle of your paper. Make sure there’s a little space between them. Then, extend the bottom of each “U” a bit and connect them to make a gumdrop shape.
Now, add Mew’s pupils by drawing a small curve inside each eye. Draw an oval at the top of each pupil and an upside-down “U” at the bottom. Color the inside of each eye, but leave the oval and gumdrop shapes white.
Next, let’s draw Mew’s head. Start with the nose by drawing a smiley face shape under the eyes. For the cheeks, draw curves from the nose, going out past the eyes, and curving back up just above the eyes.
To finish the head, leave a small gap between the lines and draw a curve connecting the two sides.
Now, let’s add Mew’s ears. Start at the top of the head and draw a diagonal line that curves down on both sides to make the ears.
Under the nose, draw a curve that goes down, out for the belly, and then back in. Draw the arms by making curves that go out from the body.
For the arms, taper the lines down to the wrists. Mew has three fingers, so draw a sideways “V” shape for each finger, adding a little zigzag for detail.
Start under the arms and draw a curve for the left leg that goes out and back in. For the right leg, draw a short line down, then curve out to match the left leg’s shape.
Mew’s feet are long. For the left foot, draw a curve that goes out and back up, adding two curves for the toes. For the right foot, start with a diagonal line for the heel, then draw a tall “U” shape for the foot, curving down for the toes.
Start Mew’s tail on the right side of the hip, curving out past the hand and connecting to the cheek. Draw the other side of the tail, matching the same curve and connecting it to the body.
To finish the tail, draw a big curve that goes behind Mew’s head, leaving space for the tail’s end. Match the curve of the tail and add a thicker end that curves back in without a sharp point.
Now that your drawing is done, it’s time to color! You can use markers, crayons, or oil pastels. We used a light pink color for Mew’s body, a purple shade for shading, and blue for the eyes. Don’t forget to add highlights with a white colored pencil.
Great job! You’ve drawn Mew all by yourself. We hope you had fun following this guide and enjoyed bringing this Pokémon to life on your paper. Keep practicing and happy drawing!
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your home or school and look for objects that have shapes similar to the ones you used to draw Mew. Can you find anything that looks like an upside-down “U” or a gumdrop shape? Draw or describe what you find and share it with your class.
Shape Hunt Game: With a friend or family member, play a game where you take turns finding and pointing out different shapes in your environment. For example, find something that looks like a circle, a triangle, or a curve. See who can find the most shapes in 10 minutes!
Create Your Own Pokémon: Use the drawing steps you learned to create your own Pokémon character. Think about what shapes you can use for its eyes, head, body, and tail. Give your Pokémon a name and share your drawing with the class. What colors will you use to make it unique?
