How to Draw a Protogen
I’ve been drawing for years and whenever people find me doodling in the back of a lecture hall, the first question is “how do you draw a protogen?”. To be honest, I’m still learning how to draw them but it’s easier than most people think. In this article, I’m here to share the tips and tricks I’ve learned to help you become the next protogen artist!
Using Basics to Create a Foundation
The best place to start is with the basics. I like to start by drawing a circle for the body, followed by a curved rectangular shape for the torso. From there, you can add two circles for the arms and two more circles for the legs. These shapes will form the foundation of your protogen. Once you have your foundation, it’s time to have some fun and explore the details!
Making It Pop With Details
Start by adding facial features like eyes, a mouth, and ears. You can get creative and add antennas or other features to make your protogen unique. Then move onto details focused on the body. Add arms and legs and give them joints for extra dimension. Remember, you don’t have to stick to human proportions, so feel free to play around and explore different ideas.
Bringing It to Life With Color
Now that you’ve mapped out your protogen’s shape, you can bring it to life with color. I like to pick a color palette and use my imagination to dream it onto the page. You can have a ton of fun with color! The best part is that you can always go back and make changes.
Adding Finishing Touches
Finally, you can add finishing touches like patterns and textures. You can use a variety of drawing materials to make your protogen look more realistic. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can even add accessories like hats, scarves, and shoes.
Trying Something New
Don’t be afraid to try something new. Experiment with different shapes, sizes, and textures. You may be surprised at the cool ideas that come out of your drawing sessions. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the process!
