How To Draw Marshmello
Ever wanted to recreate the famous marshmallow dancing sensation, Marshmello? Ever wanted to try your hand at recreating its iconic white hood, bright colors, and bouncy movements? Well then, don’t miss out on this tried-and-true tutorial on how to draw the beloved DJ on your very own piece of paper.
First things first, get your supplies ready. You’ll need a piece of paper, a pencil, eraser, and colored markers or pencils for the details. Now that you have everything ready to go, it’s time to start drawin’!
Start by sketching a basic circle shape with your pencil. This is the base of your Marshmello. Then draw two small pointed ears on the sides, and a small round circle nose a little lower. Next, draw two curved lines that go around the nose – these will be your Marshmello’s eyes. Make sure to add some “sparkle” to the eyes with your markers or pencils to bring out Marshmello’s fun demeanor.
Now let’s move on to the fun part – drawing the headgear. Using a ruler, draw two straight lines that divide the face in half. On the top, draw a small oval shape, like a bean – this will be Marshmello’s hood. For an extra touch of life, add a few colorful dots surrounding the hood and some in the negative space of the circle, too.
To finish off, use your markers to color the basic outline of Marshmello. Give him a neon white hood and bright colors in his ears, eyes and facial outline. Don’t forget to add a few playful whiskers to give him an even chipper look.
