How to Draw Deery Lou
of Japan.
This ecstatic and beautiful animal is brown in color and has large eyes.
Sometimes, he is portrayed in pink color also.
He can always be found in sun light forests, doing various activities, like playing with his friends, running after the butterflies, and so on.
To capture his gaiety and charm in your artistic representation, you need to follow some very simple steps.
This guide is designed to help you create your own Deery Lou: •Model image.
The internet is full of various pictures of this character in different backgrounds and actions.
The other points of reference can be Sanrio's pencil boxes, lunch packs, stationery, etc.
Pick your favorite photo to use it as your model.
This way you eliminate the risk of missing something important.
•Basic delineation.
The basic structure of Deery Lou is extremely simple.
All you need to do is to draw a circle, an oval, and some curvilinear lines in the right places.
Divide the drawing area in three horizontal sections for the head, body, and legs.
If scenery is required, make allowance for that as well.
Start with a circle as a base over which the facial features will be highlighted.
If you are not confident about your freehand sketching, use a stencil.
Create an oval in the area marked for abdomen.
Now draw two small lines for ears, one very tiny connecting line for neck and four lines for legs.
Keep the circle slightly bigger than the rest of the body.
Much will depend upon your reference picture, but if you want, you can tweak it up a little.
•Descriptive sketching.
Create eye primarily.
Draw the outermost circle first and proceed towards inside.
Overall, three concentric circles are drawn for the eyes.
The innermost two are quite near to each other.
Sketch the nose, followed by its leaf-shaped ears.
Now, add thickness to neck and legs.
Legs are represented as simple double lines, rather than any elaborate design.
Make a tail at the end of the oval.
Complete the skin pattern by marking five small circles.
•Colors.
Deery Lou should ideally be set in its characteristic colors.
In addition, the use of colors brings out the green surroundings.
You can choose watercolors, crayons, or others.
However, there is no hard and fast rule related to a color drawing.
If you are opting for a pencil sketch, do not add a lot of shading effects, as that would hide away the simplicity of the character.
