Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Head
Start by drawing Charizard’s head structure facing slightly upward. Outline its snout with small nostrils, a fierce open mouth showing sharp fangs, narrow determined eyes, and the two long horns extending backwards from the top of its head.
Step 2: Draw the Neck and First Wing
Extend two smooth lines downward from the head to form Charizard’s long, strong neck. Next, attach its large dragon-like right wing, outlining the main bony wing structure and the bat-like webbed wing outline.
Step 3: Draw the Other Wing
Draw the matching left wing on the opposite side, ensuring the wing structure mirrors the right one to balance Charizard’s iconic span.
Step 4: Draw the Arms and Outline the Chest
Draw Charizard’s short, muscular arms extending from the sides of its chest, complete with three sharp claws on each hand. Outline the upper chest area between the arms.
Step 5: Draw the Legs, Feet, and Complete the Belly
Draw Charizard’s thick, powerful hind legs and broad feet with three sharp claws on each foot. Complete the body outline by drawing a large oval section across its belly area.
Step 6: Draw the Tail and Flame
Extend a thick, curving tail from behind its body that tapers toward the end. Finish by drawing a lively, blazing flame at the tip of Charizard’s tail using jagged, wavy fire lines.
Step 7: Color the Drawing
Bring Charizard to life with vibrant colors! Use bold orange for its body, cream/light yellow for its belly and under-tail, bright blue or teal for the inner wing membranes, and fiery yellow and red for the flame at the tip of its tail.
