How to Draw Thrasher
Hey guys! I'm here with another lesson that's from an upcoming cartoon show on Cartoon Network October 24th. This character is one of the main characters from the show. He hangs around his big buddy, Blastus. These two guys are best friends that try to fit in with everyone else in a robot high school. The style of the show 'Robotomy' is very unique. There are diverse styles of the way the buildings are drawn and how the colors are. Almost everything in the show is monochromatic 'orange' with only the bots sticking out from it. I think the show will end up being pretty awesome (which is why I'm submitting all the characters). Check by at CartoonNetwork for the new show at October 24th, just days away from Halloween! Anyways folks, I had some fun drawing the character; actually had some problems making the lines and details exactly like the character. I used a referenced from the website of 'Robotomy' in order to create Thrasher accurately. I really think you'll end up enjoying to learn “how to draw Thrasher, step by step”. I would recommend to equip yourself with a ruler, compass, and a big eraser to make perfect lines, and to eliminate mistakes. Let me tell you, I came across a lot of mistakes with him, so I'm giving you a heads up from what I've been through! Well peeps, have fun with this tutorial to “draw Thrasher”! It was much fun designing all the strange shapes and stuff. The background was used from the website for the show as well xD Peace out and have much fun, peeps!

STEP 1.
Ok artists in learning! Before we move onto major details, it's time to take part on drawing the basic shapes for Thrasher! I would recommend getting yourself a ruler for this part, just because there's a few straight edges. Start off by drawing the 'line of motion' for Thrasher. This will depict the very movement that the character is in. In this case, the pose is standard, not very interesting but good enough to get a preview on the character. Draw the shapes seen, steadily, just so you'll avoid any mistakes.
STEP 2.
Next, move onto drawing the basic body frame. This will be easier if you draw the head first, and work your way down to more bulkier details. You'll realize, once you've got down the bulk of the drawing, things will be much easier.
STEP 3.
Then, work on details that build the overall character. From my experience, start with drawing the eyes and the pointed bolt that locks it together. After that's done, move onto drawing the very slim arms. The hands of Thrasher are large - rectangular, so taking into consideration that the shapes must be sharp edged. Finish off by drawing the pointed shoes and the detailing in the shoulders.
STEP 4.
Lastly, complete your drawing by adding characterizing traits that will single out the true form of Thrasher. Finish the inner details of his goggle eyes and the joints. Notice how the joints have socket-like bolts holding his body together. They aren't too prominent/big, so take care when drawing them. The spikes shouldn't be too long, otherwise, it'll look very strange on Thrasher.
