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. Add guidelines for the main proportions of the Pokemon’s figure, its head and body. Draw a centre line.

STEP 2. Outline the neck and general shape of the Pokemon’s snout. Add a smooth guideline for its tail.

STEP 3. Define where the Pokemon’s legs, wings, and mouth will be.

STEP 4. Draw the shapes of the ear, legs, top parts of the wings, and lower jaw of the Pokemon.

STEP 5. Sketch its tail, eye, and the general shape of its wings, toes, and nose.

STEP 6. Work on the whole figure, paying special attention to the details. Add claws, teeth and the general shape of a flame on the tail tip.

STEP 7. Draw the Pokemon’s head and wings, as well as the flame.

STEP 8. Contour, trying to vary the thickness and darkness of the line. Draw the details carefully. Add the ground. Erase all the guidelines.
