Step-by-Step Instructions

Sketching the Faceplate

Pencil sketch of an Among Us character head shape with a central oval faceplate.

Start by drawing a large, vertical oval for the faceplate. Add curved lines above and below to form the iconic Among Us head shape. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil lines light so they are easy to adjust if you need to refine the shape later.

Defining the Open Mouth

Drawing the open mouth of the shark character using a curved V-shape.

Use a wide, curved 'V' shape to sketch the gaping mouth. Add a short, overlapping line on the back of the head to give it depth. Teacher's Tip: Make the mouth wide to leave plenty of room for those sharp shark teeth later!

Adding the Legs

Adding the two short legs to the bottom of the Among Us character body.

Draw two 'U' shaped lines at the bottom for the legs and connect them with a curved line. Teacher's Tip: Ensure the legs are symmetrical to keep your character looking balanced.

Sketching the Backpack

Adding the rectangular backpack shape to the back of the character.

Draw the character's backpack using two overlapping curved lines on the back. Teacher's Tip: Keep the backpack shape rounded to match the cartoon style of the game.

Drawing the Top Teeth

Adding sharp triangular teeth to the upper jaw of the shark.

Add sharp, curved triangles along the top of the mouth for teeth. Teacher's Tip: Vary the sizes slightly to make the shark look more natural and menacing.

Drawing the Bottom Teeth

Adding sharp triangular teeth to the lower jaw of the shark.

Repeat the process for the bottom row of teeth using curved triangles. Teacher's Tip: Make sure the bottom teeth point upward to meet the top ones.

Adding the Dorsal Fin

Drawing a dorsal fin on top of the character's head.

Draw a blunt, curved triangle on top of the head for the fin. Include a small 'V' indentation on the back edge. Teacher's Tip: A shark fin is the key detail that transforms a regular crewmate into a shark!

Sketching the Tail Base

Outlining the base of the shark tail extending from the body.

Extend curved lines from the backpack and leg to outline the tail. Add a curved line at the end for the tail fin. Teacher's Tip: Keep the lines flowing smoothly to suggest movement.

Finalizing the Tail and Gills

Adding the final tail shape and gill slits to the side of the character.

Complete the crescent-shaped tail and add three small curved lines on the side for gills. Teacher's Tip: The gills are the final touch that really sells the 'shark' look.

Coloring Your Shark
