Want to learn how to draw kawaii Reuben 625? In this easy drawing tutorial, we’ll turn Reuben into a soft and adorable kawaii character using simple rounded shapes.
You’ll build the drawing from the head and body first, then add his eyes, nose, teeth, fluffy details, paws, and final colors.
This tutorial uses 9 simple steps, making it great for beginners and anyone who enjoys cute character drawing.
Start by drawing a large round shape for Reuben’s head.
Add a curved vertical guideline and a horizontal guideline across the face. These lines will help you position the eyes, nose, and mouth later.
Draw two small floppy ears on both sides of the head.
Below the head, sketch a wide U-shaped body.
Keep the body much smaller than the head to create a stronger kawaii Reuben 625 look.
Sketch two short arms extending from the sides of the body.
Add simple rounded shapes at the ends for the hands.
Then draw two short legs and rounded feet underneath the body.
Keep all the shapes soft and chubby rather than sharp.
This gives Reuben his cute, compact proportions.
Now begin the main facial structure.
Draw two tall oval shapes for Reuben’s eyes.
Place a large rounded nose between them.
Add two small nostril lines near the bottom of the nose.
Use the guidelines from Step 1 to keep the features centered and balanced.
Refine the face by adding Reuben’s eyelid shapes.
Draw his two small front teeth below the nose.
Then add the little hair tufts on top of his head.
Use a few simple curved shapes for the hair rather than making them too detailed.
These small features help make the character easy to recognize.
Refine Reuben’s short legs and feet.
Add his large rounded toes along the bottom.
Draw tiny claw details at the tips.
Keep the toes wide and slightly exaggerated to match the kawaii proportions.
Now refine Reuben’s arms.
Add simple finger and paw details to each hand.
Around the upper belly and chest, draw a soft fuzzy line using a few small pointed curves.
This fluffy chest detail makes the body feel softer and gives the drawing more personality.
Fill in the eyes with large dark pupils.
Leave one or two white highlights inside each eye.
These highlights are important because they make the eyes look bright, shiny, and much more expressive.
For this kawaii Reuben drawing, keep the pupils large so the face feels friendly and cute.
Trace over your final drawing with clean, dark lines.
Refine:
Erase the construction guidelines and unnecessary sketch lines.
You should now have a clean Reuben 625 line drawing ready for color.
Finish the drawing with warm golden colors.
Use:
Keep the colors clean and soft to maintain the kawaii style.
You can also add subtle shadows under the arms, face, and feet if you want the drawing to feel slightly more finished.
