So, you’ve always wanted to know the secret behind drawing an absolutely perfect Morty? Well, your dreams have come true! In this article, we’ll tell you how to bring this lovable, hilarious, and endlessly quotable character to life. In just a few simple steps, with enough practice and patience, even rookies at drawing will be able to create an exceptional and beautifully rendered rendition of Morty. So grab your pencils, markers, or whatever else you plan on using, and let’s get started!
First and foremost, start by sketching Morty’s basic body structure. He’s a teenage boy so don’t forget to make him appear slouchy! Even if you mess up a bit, don’t worry; we’ll get to the details soon enough. Have him facing left or right and draw lines from the corners of the eyes, down to the end of the nose, then to the lips, and finally down to the chin. As you draw this line, note that it should get wider around the nose and lips, but narrow as it approaches the chin. Also, be sure to give his arms and legs enough space to appear as though he’s walking. Morty isn’t the most toned character, so adding a few floppy curves to his frame helps lend to his endearing charm. Now, we’re ready to move on to the details!
Once you’ve got the basic lines and curves of Morty’s body sketched in, begin adding details to the eyes, nose, and lips. Try to keep them all proportionate to one another and don’t go overboard with making them too big or too small. For the eyes, draw two almond-shaped ovals and place two small lines at the top of each one for the eyebrows. For the nose, draw a simple triangle and have the tip of it curve just slightly outward. Lastly, draw the lips in an upward crescent shape, connecting them at the corners. Also, at the center of each lip, draw small inverted U shapes for the upper and lower lips.
Now, it’s time to work on Morty’s beloved hairstyle. To get started, use a light pencil and lightly sketch in the main side of the hair. Begin from the center of the forehead and curve gently outwards towards the sides of the face. From there, continue down the back of the head and curve upwards just slightly at the end. Finally, add in some small, wispy strands of hair at the bottom so it appears messy and unkempt. This will give your Morty the realistic look he deserves.
Now that we’ve got the exact shape and texture of Morty’s hair in place, let’s move on to clothing. First, draw a simple shirt and pants combo, ensuring the clothes fit his body correctly. Also, make sure to give the shirt some folds near the collar and on the cuffs, as well as wrinkles on the pants. Next, add his distinct sneakers by crafting two “V”s and draw two circles at the bottom. Once you’re content with the clothing, it’s finally time to give your Morty the finishing touches.
Grab your favorite pen and begin to carefully ink in all the details of Morty’s face. Take your time and make sure you draw the eyes, nose, and lips as realistic and proportionate as possible.
Decorate Morty’s shirt with some stripes if you choose, or whatever design you come up with, making sure to add in proper shading and textures.
Also, give his pants some shading to make it look less flat and to add some depth.
Once you’re absolutely satisfied, erase the pencil marks and give your masterpiece the once over.
