Alright, you guys! Ready to learn how to draw that delightfully devious fourth-grader, Eric Cartman? South Park’s most quotable character is surprisingly simple to sketch, even if you’re just starting out. Grab your pencils and paper we’re about to have a “respect my authoritah!” kind of drawing session!
This isn’t about creating a masterpiece; it’s about capturing Cartman’s iconic shape and attitude. We’ll break it down into easy steps, so even if you usually draw stick figures, you’ll be yelling, “Sweet!” when you see your finished Cartman drawing. Let’s get started!
How to Draw Eric Cartman from South Park
First, start with a large circle. This will form the base of Cartman’s head and face. Don’t worry about making it perfect; Cartman isn’t exactly known for his flawless figure, is he? A slightly wonky circle actually adds to his character!
Next, draw a smaller circle just below and overlapping the first one. This forms his double chin (of course!). Then, add two small, curved lines on either side of the smaller circle to create his neck. Keep it simple and cartoony!
Now, let’s add the facial features. Draw two large, round eyes near the top of the big circle. Make sure they’re fairly close together. Add small dots for pupils, and a little curve above each eye for his eyebrows. Remember, his expression is usually a mix of smugness and annoyance.
Time for the mouth! Draw a wide, slightly curved line for his mouth. You can add a little upward curve at the corners to give him his signature smirk. Below the mouth, add a small, rounded triangle for his nose. Keep all the features simple and bold.
Don’t forget his hat! Draw a simple circle on top of his head, then add a fluffy ball on top of that. Add a straight line all around the bottom of the hat and make sure to add some of his dark hair peeking out from under the hat. Color the hat in Cartman’s signature blue and yellow.
Finally, add his jacket. Draw a simple rectangular shape below his neck, extending outwards on either side. Add two small circles at the ends for his hands. Now, erase any unnecessary lines and refine your drawing. Give your Cartman drawing a little color and youre done!
See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? Now you’ve got your very own Eric Cartman, ready to spew insults and demand respect. Try drawing him in different poses or adding other South Park characters to create your own hilarious scene. Have fun, and don’t forget to yell “Respect my authoritah!” every now and then!
