Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Expressive Eyes

Pencil sketch showing two large oval eyes with star-shaped highlights for a Labubu character.

Start by drawing two curved lines for the brows, then add large ovals beneath them for the eyes. Inside each eye, sketch a smaller oval and two four-pointed stars to create that signature sparkle. Tip: Keep your pencil pressure light so you can easily adjust the symmetry.

Step 2: Adding the Iconic Grin

Detailed view of the nose and wide, toothy grin being added to the Labubu face sketch.

Draw a small oval between the eyes for the nose, then sketch a wide 'C' shape for the mouth. Add sharp, 'V' shaped teeth along the bottom. Tip: Make the teeth slightly uneven to give Labubu that cheeky, mischievous personality.

Step 3: Shaping the Head

Outline of the rounded, slightly flattened head shape surrounding the facial features.

Use a long, smooth curved line to enclose the head, keeping the top slightly flattened. Tip: Think of this as drawing a soft, rounded square rather than a perfect circle.

Step 4: Creating Furry Texture

The head outline is transformed into a furry texture using short, overlapping pencil strokes.

Go over your head outline using short, jagged strokes to create a furry appearance. Tip: Vary the length of your lines to make the fur look natural and wild.

Step 5: Drawing the Rabbit Ears

Two long, wavy rabbit-like ears added to the top of the furry Labubu head.

Sketch two long, wavy 'U' shapes for the outer ears. Add a smaller inner contour inside each to give them depth. Tip: Don't worry if they aren't perfectly identical; Labubu's ears are meant to look floppy and fun!

Step 6: Sketching the Arms

Fuzzy arms being drawn with wavy lines and small finger details.

Use wavy lines to draw the fuzzy arms extending from the body. Add short, quick strokes at the ends to suggest fingers. Tip: Keep the arms loose and relaxed to match the character's pose.

Step 7: Adding the First Leg

The first leg and a three-toed foot being added to the Labubu body outline.

Draw a wavy line down from the torso to form the side of the leg. At the bottom, enclose a foot with three distinct toes. Tip: Ensure the foot is large enough to balance the character's head.

Step 8: Completing the Lower Body

The second leg and foot are added to complete the lower body structure.

Repeat the process on the opposite side to draw the second leg and foot. Tip: Try to mirror the curve of the first leg to keep the character balanced.

Step 9: Finalizing the Outline

Connect the feet with a final wavy line to close the figure. Add a few extra short, wavy lines across the body to emphasize the fur. Tip: Go over your final lines with a darker pencil or pen to make the drawing pop!
