In one of the previous lessons we drew Bunny in Pokemon style , and in this one you will learn how to draw a Pokemon step by step. As a rule, these creatures consist of simple figures and are highly stylized, so the lesson is great for beginners.
In the course of the lesson, we will draw three Pokémon that differ in difficulty level: Butterfree, Pikachu and Charizard. We would also include tips for sketching a legendary and mega Pokemon easily.
Necessary materials
If you're drawing on a tablet, you only need two coats and a brush. In the case of a traditional drawing, we need paper, a pencil for sketching, and something to trace the final outline (marker, liner, etc.). When working with a pencil, do not press hard on the paper, the lines should be light. Also, if you want to make things a little easier, zoom out on the drawing to make it easier to maintain proportions.

We start with two squares arranged horizontally. If you have a well-developed eye, you can do without a ruler.

Then, inside the squares, draw two crossed lines in the shape of an X.
