About Charmander
Pokémon is a Japanese media franchise managed by The Pokémon Company, a company founded by Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures. The franchise was created by Satoshi Tajiri in 1996, and is centered on fictional creatures called “Pokémon”. In Pokémon, humans, known as Pokémon Trainers, catch and train Pokémon to battle other Pokémon for sport. All media works within the franchise are set in the Pokémon universe.
Charmander is a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a primarily orange body and blue eyes. Its underside from the chest down and the soles of its feet are cream-colored. It has two small fangs visible in its upper jaw and two smaller fangs in its lower jaw.
A fire burns at the tip of this Pokémon’s slender tail and has blazed there since Charmander’s birth. The flame can be used as an indication of Charmander’s health and mood, burning brightly when the Pokémon is strong, weakly when it is exhausted, wavering when it is happy, and blazing when it is enraged.

1Draw Circle Roughly

We are starting by drawing a head of charmander roughly. Draw the circle with your free hand roughly as shown in the image above. Use a pencil to draw the rough part so that we can erase it in future steps.
2Draw Charmander’s Skeleton

Now draw the Charmander’s body, legs, hands skeleton rough as in the image above. Here we draw the bulky charmander’s body with two arms and two legs roughly. Use a pencil to draw the rough part so that we can erase it in future steps.
3Draw Head Outline

Now draw the charmander’s head outline using the reference rough lines that we draw in previous steps as in the image above.
4Draw Charmander’s Hands

Then draw the two hands of the charmander as in the image above. Here we draw the outline of charmander’s hands. And also don’t forget to draw pointed claws. Here we are using the rough lines or reference lines that we drew earlier.
5Draw Charmander’s Body

After that draw the belly or chest part of the charmander as in the image above. Here we draw a curve line to make the body and also draw a small curve in the lower part for the charmander’s legs as in the image above. Here we are using the rough lines or reference lines that we drew earlier.
6Draw Front Belly and Back Leg

After that draw a circular curve to make Charmander’s belly as in the image above. Also, draw the charmander’s leg as in the image above. Also, draw pointed claws on the leg. Here we are using the rough lines or reference lines that we drew earlier.
7Draw Another Leg

Similarly, draw another leg with pointed claws as in the image above. Here we are using the rough lines or reference lines that we drew earlier.
8Draw Charmander’s Tail

Now draw the pointed tail by drawing three curved lines as in the image above. Note: don’t join the tail as we are going to draw a flame at top of the tail in next step.
9Draw Fire on Tail

To complete the tail, draw the fire on the tail as in the image above. Draw the fire flame like structure as in the image above.
10Erase Rough Part

Now erase all the rough lines that we drew in the previous steps. We only need these rough skeleton lines for the references.
11Draw Charmander’s Eyes

Now draw two semi-oval shaped Charmander’s eyes as in the image above. Here first draw the small line the semi oval and inside of the oval draw another oval to make the eyes look realistic.
12Draw Mouth, Eyebrow & Nose

Now for drawing the Charmander’s face, draw the curve for the mouth of the charmander and make two dots for drawing the nose of charmander and then small two lines for the eyebrow of the Charmander. Finally, we get a cute little charmander.
Colouring a Charmander
After the drawing of charmander is completed we move forward with coloring the charmander. For coloring, we had chosen some basic colours. We use orange colour to fill all over the body of the charmander and yellow to the chest and belly of the charmander, lastly dark yellow and red are used for the fire that comes out of charmander’s tail. You can fill color according to our wish too.
Colour Details:
