How To Draw Wukong – A Step by Step Guide
1. Wukong Drawing Easy
Step 1: Start by sketching the outline of Wukong’s head.
The shape looks like a rounded cloud: a wide oval with four gentle bumps, two on top and two at the bottom.

Step 2: Inside the first head shape, draw a second outline following the same curve, but slightly smaller.
Add two round ears on each side. Make sure the ears are small, simple semicircle shapes.

Step 3: On top of the head, draw Wukong’s headband:
Start with a curved band across the forehead.
Add the top part of the helmet with a rounded dome shape.
Inside the band, draw a decorative star-like symbol in the center.

Step 4: From the lower right side of the head, draw Wukong’s long staff.
Start with a long, slightly angled cylinder.
Add a small hand gripping the staff near its top. Keep the staff smooth and straight.

Step 5: Add Wukong’s shoulders and upper outfit:
Draw a simple rounded shoulder shape on each side.
Add the chest area and the folded clothing tied at the center.
Draw the other arm across the body, holding the lower part of the staff.

Step 6: Sketch the lower body:
Draw two short legs with pants slightly puffed at the knees.
Add the shoes with thick soles and simple details.
Make the pose look dynamic, as if he is ready for action.

Step 7: Inside the face outline, draw:
Two big round eyes with curved eyebrows above them.
A small round nose. A wide smiling mouth.
Small curved lines for cheek highlights.

Step 8: Color the drawing

2. How To Draw Sun Wukong
Step 1: Draw the Crown Shape
Start by drawing the iconic flame-shaped crown on top of Wukong’s head.
It looks like a rounded flame or cloud symbol with smooth curves.

Step 2: Sketch the Head Shape
Draw the outline of Wukong’s head around the crown.
Add: The spiky hair around the sides and top
A round face frame under the hair
Keep the head big and expressive, just like a chibi style.

Step 3: Add Facial Guidelines
Draw the eyes, eyebrows, and basic face structure:
Big circular eyes
One raised eyebrow for a fierce expression
Small nose and wide open mouth
Make sure the expression feels energetic and confident.

Step 4: Refine the Face Details
Add more details to the face:
Sharp, thick eyebrows
Pupils inside the eyes
A wide open smiling or shouting mouth
This step gives Wukong his characteristic spirited look.

The other arm extended outward

Make the end of the staff visible

Step 8: Add More Staff and Body Details
Extend the staff and tighten the pose:
Add thickness and details to the weapon
Adjust the body posture for more dynamic action
Add sleeve and wrist details

Step 9: Draw the Flowing Ribbon
Add the swirling cloth or ribbon behind him:
Flowing lines curving around his body
Make them dynamic to show motion

Draw his pants and boots:
Strong warrior-style boots
Wrapping cloth around the legs
More armor details on the lower body

Add texture to hair
Add depth lines on armor
Clean up the staff

Step 12: Add Ground or Energy Effect
