How to Draw Bluey (Step by Step)
Draw the Head
Start with an oval shape, a broad one, and confirm that it is ball-shaped to recreate Bluey’s head. Right at the top, give it some pointy ears on either side. The ears should be kept high and erect, as Bluey is full of life. It does not matter that the oval is a bit wonky; this is merely the foundation point.
Add the Body
Below the head, draw a type of curved rectangle that is slightly smaller than the oval. This is to be Bluey, so make it soft and slightly curved on the edges. To ensure her casual appearance, keep it short and bulky. It is like such an adorable pillow form attached to her head.
Draw the Face
Inside the circle, draw two big circles for Bluey’s eyes. Add a small, round black dot for her puppy eyes in the middle of each circle so she appears cute and inquisitive. Sketch in the small oval-shaped nose in the middle, right below the eyes, and then a gigantic smile below it. That is what provides Bluey with her happy face.
Add Arms and Legs
On each side of the body, draw two straight arms that stretch out a little. Make them short and simple, since Bluey’s arms aren’t too long. At the bottom, add two small legs shaped like little rectangles. Keep them stubby to match her cartoon style.
Tail and Details
On one side of the body, draw a fluffy tail external to the body. Create it so that it appears as though it is wagging joyfully. Add her special finials, dark ear tip, cream belly, and that darker tail tip. You can also add small freckles on her body.
Color Bluey
Now the fun part, coloring! Fill her body with light blue to bring her to life. Use dark blue for her ears, tail, and patches, and cream for her face and belly. Make sure to blend the colors neatly so Bluey looks just like she does in the show.
How to Draw Bingo (Step by Step)
Draw the Head
Starting with a medium-sized oval to represent the head of Bingo, which is smaller in size than Bluey, as she is a smaller sister. Add two pointy ears on top to depict her playful nature. Also, keep a similar shape, soft and rounded, to appear childlike. This will be used as a foundation for Bingo’s cute face.
Add the Body
Now, draw a short, rounded rectangle right below the head. Because Bingo is smaller, her body should be compact and slightly narrower. Don’t worry about making it perfect; her chubby, simple shape adds to her cuteness. This step sets up the foundation for her tiny frame.
Add the Face
In the oval, work two joyful circles of her eyes with dots of black in the middle. Then draw in a little, ovalish nose in the middle part of the face. Add a curved smile below to convey happiness. This minutia creates the character, Bingo.
Arms, Legs, and Tail
On each side of the body, draw short arms that stick out slightly, almost like she’s ready for a hug. Add two little legs at the bottom, make them stubby to match her playful style. Finally, draw a small wagging tail on the side to complete her look. This gives Bingo her signature puppy energy.
Color Bingo
Take orange as the primary color in the body, but ensure that she is kept as a light cream tone on the belly and face. Add a very slightly darker orange to the spots on her body to make her markings stand out. Just spend time on the coloration, that is what makes her recognizable. By the time you are through, Bingo will be ready to be on the move!
How to Draw Bandit (Dad)
Draw the Head and Ears
Start with a large oval shape to form Bandit’s head, make it a little bigger than Bluey’s for a grown-up look. On top of the head, sketch two tall, pointy ears standing upright. Keep the ears slightly curved for a friendly vibe. This gives Bandit his recognizable dog-like features right away.
Body and Face
This is a broad rectangular shape below the head of Bandit, a solid form. Give him two round, plump eyes to show that you are a loving creature. Draw an oval-shaped nose in the centre and complete it with a smile. All these will quantify his role as a playful and caring dad.
Arms, Legs, and Tail
Draw two strong arms on each side, slightly bent to show movement. Then add his legs at the bottom, make them solid to reflect his active energy. On the side, sketch his fluffy tail wagging happily. Together, these details bring Bandit’s fun-loving nature to life.
Color Bandit
For his body, use a soft blue-gray to match his Shiny look from the TV show. Shade the darker blue areas of his back, his ears, and his legs to contrast. Add the cream color to his belly, face, and paws. If you should color him, Bandit will be happy looking and ready for a fun adventure.
How to Draw Chilli (Mom)
Head and Ears
Begin with a medium-sized oval, not quite as fat as that of Bandit, to represent the head of Chilli. Above, draw two erect ears, but make them unsharpened and smooth. This provides her with a soft, tender appearance. Ensure that the head shape is tidy and well-balanced.
Body and Face
Below the head, create a shape of a rectangle, as she is taller than Bandit is and slimmer. In the head, draw on the drawing her sweet eyes, a small oval nose, and a kindly, motherly smile. These characteristics depict her quiet and maternal nature.
Arms, Legs, and Tail
Add her arms gently stretching out, not too thick, to show her softer character. Sketch her legs straight down for a balanced stance. Then draw a smooth, fluffy tail at the back. These details make her look graceful and welcoming.
Color Chilli
To color the majority of her body, use the shade of orange-red, keeping it bright, yet warm. She has white on her face and belly, and paws to make her soft. In contrast, there is are darker orange color on her back and ears. Cooling after being colored, Chilli appears very active and warm.
