You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1:
Draw a large oval as the path for Piplup’s head. First create four points to define the height and width of the oval. Make sure that the marks for the width of the oval are further apart than the marks for the length of the oval. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Make a light sketch at first to make it easier to erase if you make a mistake.
Step 2:
Inside the oval, draw two intersecting lines. These are building instructions that will help you place Piplup’s facial features later on. Curve the lines so that they outline in an oval shape. The vertical line should be to the left of the center and the horizontal line should be close to the bottom edge of the oval.
Step 3:
Under the head, draw a circle for Piplup’s body. Notice how small this shape is relative to the head. The top part of this shape will be hidden behind the head.
Step 4:
On either side of the body, draw two long and thin shapes as guides for Piplup’s arms. The base of the arms should be broad and the tips of the leaves as thin and pointed as leaves. The right arm is on the side of the head. Under the torso, draw a few curved lines for the feet. The right foot is very small compared to the rest of the body.
Step 5:
On top of the horizontal construction guide, draw two ovals for Piplup’s eyes. Use the vertical line as a guide to help you determine the distance between your eyes. The left eye should be smaller because the head is slightly turned. Inside the eye, near the top, draw small circles to highlight. In the center of the eyes, draw smaller ovals and fill them for the pupils. Don’t overlap the highlight circles when you shade the pupil.
Step 6:
Draw an arc shape where the construction lines intersect for Piplup’s mine. Close the arc at the bottom and add an extra line underneath for the bottom of the mine. The right beak is close to the left eye.
Step 7:
Draw two long curved lines over the eyes to make a pattern on Piplup’s head. The line on the left must start at the beak and end at the left edge of the head. The line on the right almost encircles the eye. Between the lines, above the beak, draw a W-shaped line for more pattern.
Step 8:
Darken the first oval to create the Piplup head. Make the bottom edges of the shape slightly wider than the original oval. The bottom edge of the head should also be flatter than the oval.
Step 9:
Under the head, draw two curved lines for the collar-like part of Piplup’s body. The center curve should be wider than the leftmost curve. On the right, draw a thin shape over the arm shape.
Step 10:
Darken the bottom circle for Piplup’s body. Make the bottom edge flatter than the original guide. Inside the body, draw two small circles for the button-like part. Make the left circle smaller. Above the right arm, draw two short arcs for the tail-like part.
Step 11:
Darken the paths on the sides of the body to create Piplup’s arms. Do not overlap certain parts of the body when you darken these lines. At the bottom, darken the curved shapes for the feet. Draw short lines on the inside of the foot to separate the toes.
Step 12:
Go through the final sketch lines with a pen, marker, or any other permanent ink. Take your time and be careful when you pour ink to avoid any accidents. After the ink dries, remove any pencil marks with an eraser to draw Piplup more clearly.
Step 13:
Finally Color your drawing with crayons, markers, crayons or anything else! Use dark blue for the head, upper body, and eyes. Use light blue for the rest of the body and the upper part of the beak. Paint the beak and legs yellow. That’s it! You know how to complete a Piplup drawing from Pokemon.
