17 Easy Among Us Drawing Ideas | Step-by-Step Sketch Guide

These Among Us drawing ideas are useful when you want to practice the crewmate shape, visor, backpack, impostor variations and ghost poses without starting from a blank page. The design is simple, but small proportion mistakes can make the body look stiff or the visor feel pasted on.

Start with the first reference and look for three forms: the rounded body, the horizontal visor and the small backpack. Once those read clearly, accessories and character variations become much easier.

How to draw an Among Us crewmate

1. Block in the body. Draw a tall rounded shape, not a perfect rectangle. Keep the top curved.
2. Split the bottom into two legs. Keep the gap narrow so the silhouette stays compact.
3. Add the visor. Place a rounded horizontal shape high on the face and let it project slightly toward the front.
4. Add the backpack. Use a small rounded rectangle behind the torso; it should stay secondary to the body.
5. Clean the silhouette. Erase construction lines before adding color, shadows or costume details.

Three proportion checks before you add details

• Visor too small? Compare its width with the upper body. A tiny visor makes the head feel unusually large.
• Body too human? Avoid a narrow waist, shoulders or realistic knees. Keep the spacesuit compact.
• Character looks flat? Let the visor and backpack overlap the body contour slightly. Those overlaps do more than extra shading.

Among Us drawing references

A better way to practice from these references

Do not try to copy every image in one sitting. Choose one basic crewmate and use a short repeatable drill:

1. Draw it in two minutes using only the body, legs, visor and backpack.
2. Draw the same pose again, but begin with simple construction shapes before cleaning the outline.
3. Hide the reference and draw it once from memory.
4. Compare the drawings. Check visor size, leg spacing and backpack placement before worrying about color.

Once the standard crewmate feels easy, move to the more unusual character variations. Those are more useful after the base silhouette is automatic.

Three sketch drills that build control

1. Silhouette drill

Fill one crewmate shape completely with pencil. Ignore the visor and every interior detail. If the character is still recognizable as a small spacesuited figure, the outer contour is doing its job. If it looks like an ordinary person in a costume, simplify the torso and shorten the legs.

2. Visor placement drill

Draw five empty body shapes in a row, then place the visor slightly differently on each one. Keep the version that feels most balanced and use it as your guide. This is faster than repeatedly erasing one finished drawing.

3. Pose variation drill

Redraw the same crewmate standing, leaning and taking a step. Do not add hands or realistic joints. Change the tilt of the body and the spacing of the feet while keeping the same simple design language. The goal is to create movement without turning the character into a realistic human figure.

How to make the sketch look cleaner

Use a light HB pencil for construction and a darker pencil, fineliner or digital brush only after the proportions work. If you color the character, leave a small lighter area on the visor instead of filling it with one flat tone; that single highlight helps the glass read as a separate surface.

For younger artists, skip perspective and shading. A clean outline with a recognizable visor is enough. For more beginner practice, try our easy drawing tutorials for kids or easy cool drawing ideas.

Common problems and quick fixes

• Character looks too tall: shorten the torso and keep the legs compact.
• Visor looks like an eye: make it wider and more horizontal, with rounded corners.
• Legs look disconnected: start with one body mass, then cut the leg gap upward.
• Backpack dominates: reduce its width and keep most of it behind the torso contour.
• Outline feels shaky: build with light strokes first, then commit to one darker contour.

Among Us drawing FAQ

What is the easiest Among Us character to draw?

A plain crewmate without a hat or accessory is the best starting point. It lets you practice the body, visor, legs and backpack before adding costume details.

What pencil should beginners use?

An HB or 2B pencil is enough. Draw construction lines lightly, erase what you do not need, then strengthen the final contour.
