Tips for Better Labubu Drawings
- Count heads: character proportions are deliberate design choices, and using the wrong head-count is why fan art looks "off" even when every feature is right.
- Likeness lives in the silhouette: if you fill your character drawing with solid black and it’s still recognizable, you’ve nailed it. If not, no amount of interior detail will save it.

How do you draw Labubu easily?
Start with the character’s two or three signature shapes, keeping your lines light. Refine the outline, add the defining details, then erase the construction shapes. The nine-step method above breaks this down — most people get a recognizable Labubu on their very first try with it.
How long does Labubu drawing take?
A simple Labubu drawing takes about 20 minutes following this tutorial. A quick doodle version can be done in two or three minutes, while a detailed, fully-shaded study might take an hour. Speed comes with repetition — the second attempt is always faster than the first.

Just a pencil, an eraser, and any paper. An HB pencil for construction lines and a 2B for final outlines is a nice upgrade, and colored pencils or markers finish it off — but nothing on this page requires special supplies.
Can kids draw Labubu?
Yes — Labubu is very manageable once you use construction shapes, and this method was written for first-timers. Kids can follow the same steps; just expect wobblier lines and more charm.
