How to Draw Kim Possible

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jay French, at Jay French Studios.com, and I'm going to show you how to draw Kim Possible. All right, for Kim Possible, you want to start with a very round head. She has almost no distinctive lines for cheek, chin, jaw line, or anything. We have a...have her signature bangs, or hair in front of her eye there. We have a little spike here, in front of her ear, no details to the ear, just a little bracket right there. She has almost an anime style nose, very pointed though. She has very dark, distinctive, arched, or angled I should say, not arched, eyebrows. Round eyes, very round. Not almond at all. Very large, showing very little white of the eyes, very large irises, large pupils. They usually don't tend to bother with a highlight. So you don't have to leave one, and you'll still get the style. This eye is usually half hidden by the hair, like that. She has a distinctive curve to her mouth, in any expression. Of course, from this angle we're getting it one sided. And we'll do that in red. A lot of the style that is used in this particular animation does not use black outline. So if you pencil it and then want to color it, I recommend basically using a black outline only on the chin and ear, around the eyes. Everything else you can do just with the colors. The red for the lips, the orange for the hair here. She has the big, loose hair when she's in her Kim Possible persona. It'll have some lighter lines through it, lighter orange just to give it some texture. Thin neck. Then we have her distinctive outfit. Now in this case we're going to do sort of a karate pose for her here. Again, it's not very realistic on the dimensions or proportions or details. The hand...the fingers are just choppy, but the position's rather realistic. I'm not going to fill this in, but this outfit's actually all black. If you want to draw her, then you know that. See, here again, we have very little details. Just lines for where the fingers are separate. Yet nothing is left out. Very thin torso. We have our bare mid-riff, our baggy pants. I'm not quite sure how they stay on, but hey, it's a cartoon. They can do that. And, the distinctive utility belt, as every good spy needs. And, action khakis, always good. And, again, when she's in her Kim Possible persona, she's got these, this distinctive outfit, which is the baggy...the baggy khakis. And get some extra pockets in there. It looks more utilitarian that way. Always have that extra fold at the end of the feet to show that she's cool and does not have high-waters. And there's your basic lesson for drawing Kim Possible."
