GRID STEP. You can print out the base construction lines and start drawing on tracing paper, or you can draw the grid layout yourself using the following steps.1) Draw a rectangle that will define the conditional proportions and boundaries of the chosen drawing. 2) From the middle of the rectangle, draw one vertical and one horizontal line equally dividing the shape. 3) Draw another horizontal line equally dividing the upper half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a horizontal line equally dividing the bottom half of the rectangle. 4) Draw a vertical line equally dividing the left half of the rectangle. Similarly, draw a vertical line equally dividing the right half of the rectangle.

STEP 1. Mark off the width and height of the picture. Draw guidelines for the Bulbasaur’s body. Add the head. Draw a line, which will act as the center of the head.

STEP 2. Draw the shape of the Bulbasaur’s body. Add a guideline for the tail.

STEP 3. Define with light guidelines the places for the legs, mouth and eyes.

STEP 4. Sketch the forelegs and mouth.

STEP 5. Add the Bulbasaur’s legs, eyes and ears.

STEP 6. Add claws. Detail the eyes. Draw a green plant bulb on the back.

STEP 7. Work on the whole figure, paying special attention to detail.

STEP 8. Contour the Bulbasaur, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Add more detail and add the ground. Erase all guidelines.
