How to Draw: Kangaskhan

How to draw this Pokemon!!

Firstly, you want to sketch out all the basic shapes, the most universal one when drawing is: the circle.

Now you kinda just want to start making definite shapes and begin drawing on top of the circle with more detail.

Keep drawing in the details, one part at a time, keep in mind you will be erasing and redrawing constantly.

Pretty soon, you'll end up with pretty much the entire basic shape of the body.

In this step, I added the pouch and began putting some focus in the face.

Now, I added detail to the hands and feet, giving it more shape and adding the claws.

Here, I added the shoulder pads and the spikes on the back. Make continuous references to the real image so that proportions for the most part stay proportional.

Now, I added Roo! Didn't take very much time or detail, he's too small to really mess up.

This next step, I added the pocket like shapes on its legs.

In this step, I erased all the initial sketch lines that I had made in order to make this pokemon proportional. Now its a clean version of it! If you want to stop here then you successfully drew a pokemon! Or you can put in a little extra effort and shade it a little. So you can keep going!

All the lines and circular shapes are just the areas that are either highlighted or shadowed. It makes it easier for me to decide which parts need to be erased and darkened.

Here, we start to shade! yes it looks kinda bad but that's why you take ten more minutes to finish and clean it up!

Now I'm getting closer to finishing up the basic shades!

Now everything is very basicly shaded and erased. 

Here I went through and darkened the dark and lightened the light and so forth. It looks a little scratchy so go to the last step!

Just take a tissue and blend the picture! The areas that are the same shade you can use the same part of the tissue. The lighter areas, use a clean part of the tissue because if you use the same side you blended the dark side with, it'll darken the lighter part! So after blending with a tissue, take an eraser and quickly go through and re-highlight the really light areas that may have been re-shaded because of blending with the tissue. You may also want to take your pencil and re outline the image so it looks crisp and dark! Yayy we're done!
