How to Draw Bulbasaur Pokémon
Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon, is a dual-type Grass and Poison Pokémon of Generation I. Its name is a combination of the words "bulb," referring to the plant on its back, and "dinosaur," describing its saurian appearance.
Bulbasaur first appeared in the Pokémon animated series episode entitled "Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village," in which he was defeated by Pikachu and captured by Ash.
Along with Charmander and Squirtle, Bulbasaur is one of the three starter Pokémon from which a trainer can choose on the early Pokémon games.
They are rare in the wild; most Bulbasaur are raised by Pokémon breeders for distribution to new trainers. Bulbasaur may evolve into Ivysaur at level 16, and Venusaur at level 32. Each year, many Bulbasaur gather in the Kanto region to evolve into Ivysaur during a special ceremony.
The plant on Bulbasaur's back grows from a seed that is planted there at its birth. This plant provides Bulbasaur with energy via photosynthesis, and it essential to many of Bulbasaur's fighting moves.

Steps:
Step 1
1. Begin by drawing an oval. This will form the basis for Bulbasaur’s head.
Step 2
2. Detail the shape of the head. Add ears by enclosing triangular shapes on top of the head. Notice how the tips of the ears are rounded. Use a curved line to detail the shape of the jaw.
Step 3
3. Draw the back of the head using a short, curved line. Then, enclose the rounded shape of the body.
Step 4
4. Draw Bulbasaur’s legs. For each leg, extend a pair of curved lines from the upper body. Draw small rounded triangles to form the claws, enclosing the foot in the process.
Step 5
5. Sketch the rear legs using curved lines. Notice the rounded nature of the squatting legs. Use small rounded triangles to form the claws.
Step 6
6. Erase guide lines from the head and body.
Step 7
7. Draw the plant that resides on Bulbasaur’s back. Extend two curved lines from the back, nearly enclosing a semicircle shape. Connect the lines using a series of “V” shaped lines. Then, use curved lines to enclose additional parts of the plant on either side of this shape. Connect these lines to the center of the plant using small “V” shaped lines.
Step 8
8. Draw spots on Bulbasaur’s forehead, legs, and back. In each set of spots, include a large, rounded, roughly diamond shaped spot, and one or more smaller, triangular spots.
Step 9
9. Detail Bulbasaur’s face. Use curved lines to enclose Bulbasaur’s large, smiling mouth. Draw a curved line through the mouth to indicate the tongue, and two small, inverted triangles at the top of the mouth to indicate teeth. Enclose teardrop shapes to form the eyes. Indicate the iris of the eye using a curved line, and a narrow oval for the pupil. Indicate the eyebrows and nostrils using short lines.
Step 10
10. Color your Bulbasaur. He is typically turquoise or bluish green in color, with a pink tongue, green spots, and a green plant on his back.

"The eyes are the window to the soul." So states an antiquated maxim. To scientists, however, the eyes are very interesting. For example, researchers are currently developing technology that could use patterns in the iris of the eye to identify people, much as the fingerprint is used currently. Movies and television have long depicted such technology, but it may soon become a reality. In fact, some airports are already testing this 'eye ID' technology.
To artists, the eyes hold another interest. The eyes are surrounded by many, many small muscles, and the movement of these muscles is an indicator of emotion on the human face. Our eyes, for instance, can show whether we are happy, sad, angry, frightened, excited, or bored.
The eyes, then, are an important means of expressing these emotions in the visual arts, yet many artists find the eyes to be one of the more difficult portions of the human face to capture accurately. What is more, it is almost paradoxical that the eyes are one member largely responsible for our ability to draw the eyes of another.
Almost every drawing or painting of humans or animals includes eyes, whether open or closed. As such, many styles have developed. The simplest eyes involve nothing more than a solidly shaded dot. Other simple eyes consists of a circle with a shaded dot inside it. The Japanese manga and anime art styles often lend straight lines and squared corners to the shape of the eye.
