Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Head Base

Pencil sketch showing a bean-shaped head outline and two overlapping eye ovals for Oggy.

Draw a large bean shape for the head with an oval on the right side. Add two more ovals behind the bean to form the eyes. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil lines very faint so you can easily clean up the overlapping shapes later.

Step 2: Defining the Eyes and Head

Detailed sketch of Oggy's eyes with pupils and the pointed top of his head.

Add smaller ovals inside the eyes for pupils and fill them in. Draw a heart-shaped frame around the eyes, then use curved lines to define the back of the head. Teacher's Tip: Use a steady hand to create the two points at the top of his head to give him that classic cartoon look.

Step 3: Drawing the Nose and Whiskers

Sketch of Oggy's snout area with whiskers and cheek details.

Draw a wide curve under the nose area, connecting it to the head to form a hot dog shape. Add half-circles on the left for the cheek and straight lines for whiskers. Teacher's Tip: Keep the whisker lines quick and sharp to make them look energetic.

Step 4: Creating the Mouth

Sketch showing Oggy's open mouth with teeth and tongue visible.

Draw two triangles for teeth and a sweeping curve for the open mouth. Add a small 'hillside' shape inside for the tongue. Teacher's Tip: Don't worry if the mouth isn't perfect; Oggy is a very expressive character, so a little asymmetry adds personality!

Step 5: Shaping the Body

Sketch showing the outline of Oggy's rounded body shape.

Add a small curved line under the mouth for depth. Then, draw a long, mushroom-like shape for the body. Teacher's Tip: Think of the body as a soft, rounded shape—avoid sharp corners to keep him looking cuddly.

Step 6: Drawing the First Arm

Sketch of Oggy's arm and hand with detailed finger placement.

Sketch L-shaped lines for the arm and C-shapes for the wrist. Add fingers using overlapping loops. Teacher's Tip: Overlapping your lines is the secret to making the fingers look like they are actually holding something.

Step 7: Adding the Second Arm

Sketch showing the second arm and hand added to Oggy's body.

Repeat the process for the second arm on the right side using short lines and C-shapes for the wrist. Use overlapping loops for the fingers. Teacher's Tip: Keep the arms relatively short to maintain Oggy's proportions.

Step 8: Adding Stomach Details

Sketch showing the belly swirl detail on Oggy's torso.

Draw a swirl in the center of the stomach, framed by two broad curved lines. Teacher's Tip: This swirl helps define his belly area and adds a nice focal point for coloring later.

Step 9: Legs and Tail

Final sketch showing Oggy's legs, feet, and tail added to the body.

Draw two wide loops for legs and bean shapes for feet. Add a long, tapering tail using curved lines. Teacher's Tip: Make the tail look flexible by curving it slightly toward the body.

Step 10: Final Outline and Coloring

Finished, colored drawing of Oggy with blue fur and vibrant features.

Erase your guide lines and outline with a black pen. Color the body blue, the mouth purple, the eyes neon green, and the nose bright red. Teacher's Tip: Use light, even strokes when coloring to keep the drawing looking professional.
