In this tutorial, we will show you how to draw Gon – a character from Tekken 3. This little creature is not very famous around the world, but every fan of the Tekken universe knows him.

Let’s draw Gon, a small dinosaur from the manga and Tekken series.

How to draw Gon step by step

Step 1: Sketch Gon’s body framework

First, draw the head as a simple circle near the upper-left area of the paper. Then sketch a long, curved line extending from the head.

This line forms the main axis of Gon’s body. Finish this stage by adding two wavy lines positioned across the main line.

Step 2: Build Gon’s body shape

Follow the sequence carefully. First, draw the muzzle as a cylindrical shape. Then outline the sides of the body with two smooth lines extending from the head toward the tail. After that, draw the hind legs. These limbs should look large and powerful, while the front legs remain small and short.

Gon’s body structure is very similar to the one used when drawing a dragon.

Step 3: Add the dragon eye and jaws

Draw Gon’s eye and lower jaw. The upper jaw should be much thicker than the lower jaw. Form the eye with two lines: a straight upper line and a rounded lower line.

Step 4: Refine Gon’s body contours

Begin refining Gon from the head toward the tail. Darken the main contours and add the visible details along the body.

Step 5: Detail the dinosaur’s hind legs

Draw the final contours of Gon’s hind legs. Add the large, curved claws at the ends of the toes.

Step 6: Draw the crest and belly of Gon

Draw the crest along Gon’s back. Make the smallest segments near the tail. Then add flat horizontal segments across the underside of Gon’s body.

Step 7: Add the shadows to the character

Finish the Gon drawing by adding very light shadows to the body.

This tutorial on how to draw Gon is now complete. Although Gon is a manga character, his appearance is much closer to a small dinosaur than to most cartoon animals. If you would like to continue practicing similar body shapes, try drawing a dinosaur or drawing a cartoon dragon.

If you enjoy video game characters, you can also continue by drawing Mario. Fans of classic game characters may also like drawing Yoshi, another famous dinosaur with a recognizable look.
