Getting creative with one of the most recognizable characters in the gaming world isn’t as hard as it may seem. Drawing a creeper from Minecraft is fairly easy once you go through the steps.
First things first, you’ll need a platform to get started. Grab some blank printer paper or whatever drawing surface best suits you, a pencil and eraser for sculpting and sketching. Time to get to work!
You’ll want to start by sketching the body of the creeper. Squares of both medium and large sizes are essential for drawing the distinct creeper model. The large squares go mid-belly and the medium in the corners, transitioning the blocks along the sides. The grand finale of creating the creeper is drawing in the trademark square pattern across its “face.”
Once the sketching part is done, it’s time to get inking and add some color! We recommend using a thicker non-bleed marker to outline and then go inside the lines to fill in the body parts, giving the creeper some extra clarity and definition. Now, use a fine tipped marker to draw all those extra lines and shapes that make the creeper look like, well, a creeper.
The creeper’s eyes are next. To get them in the correct place, you’ll want to start with two small circles and then draw two slightly larger circles around them, using your pencil to make sure the circles are lined up correctly. After it’s in the correct spot, ink it in and if you feel so inclined, you can draw more details on the eyes like tiny little square outlines.
Now for the fun part. Take your colored markers and start bringing the creeper to life. Color the body a solid green and make sure to fill in all the little details. Layer on the black marker to add definition and you’ve got a creeper like a pro.
If you want to spruce up your creeper even more, use your creativity and add accessories. Maybe a famous sword, flower, or block to name a few. Go wild! Your creeper masterpiece is now ready to show off.
Once you’ve nailed the basics of sketching, inking and coloring in a creeper, you’ll be able to expand your art skills and draw other Minecraft characters like Endermen and Zombie Pigmen. Even Steve can be mastered in no time.
The key is to focus on where the different lines and shapes go. Practice your creeper drawing until you get the hang of it and then, let your imagination run wild. With a few simple steps and a bit of patience, you’ll be on your way to creating a masterpiece creeper in no time!
