ANON. Thank you for being patient! I like drawing papyrus but I’m not very good at it but here’s how I break him down. Drawing him is mostly just saying, heck it we’re doing this anyway. Try to experiment and find a way you like to draw him!
I’m working on an Asgore/Toriel/?? one as well but that’ll be a bit!
My writing is messy so I’m putting the full transcript under the readmore
[IMAGE 1 is the first half of papyrus head/face tutorial, with six images with new details added in green, as follows]
1.circle+line
2. such cheek
3. eye and more skull
4. face bits ( which are eyes, eyebrows, nose, and maxillary bone sans teeth)
[a circle scribbled out reading “Forget how to draw”]
5. add teeth + mandible (which is the lower jaw my friend)
[IMAGE 2 is the second half of papyrus face/head tutorial]
6. tired+teeth+tmj (temporomandibular joint)
7. smaller lower ant. teeth + other side of condyle (special note: the upper anterior teeth are bigger so I draw only three lines on top whilst the lower has four to denote the smaller teeth there)
8. lower opacity and trace
then I have four papyrus faces that read “Freestyle!” encouraging experimentation with silly expressions like annoyance, that one expression I draw a lot, astonished rage, and joyous yell
[IMAGE 3 papyrus body tutorial, following same tradition as before]
1. papyrus’s head is predrawn and placed on what is declared as “Triangle of power!” and a green c line around head
2. “swoop” with swoops showing how I build pap’s scarf with arrows to show movement
3. “circle circle circle” three circles to build battle body armor and shoulders
4. “fancy details” and “3 with line” drew armsaye and added details on scarf with aforementioned 3 with line
5. ‘arms?” the tutorial falls apart a little and I draw the arms in almost full with no explanation
6. “Okay!” I didn’t do anything but here we are
around here I remembered this is just a transcript so I’m putting the words only now so this doesn’t take a novella
[IMAGE 4 body tut part 2]
7. triangle of pelvis!
8. wait I already drew arms? spine is [two rectangles]
9. legs?
10. oh god what is posing?? he’s too tall to fit heck
[IMAGE 5 body tut part 3]
11. what are thoooose?? [at boots] heroic cape! .. scarf?
12. boot details
13. lower opacity and trace!
[IMAGE 6- anatomy of arm bones]
on left, ulna and radius, on diagram from wikipedia, the upper arm is marked humerus (but not funny), lower arm is marked with
ulna on the distal side of hand, bigger on elbow side
radius connects to thumb, bigger on that end (ie. towards hand)
sorta bottom reads- “Oven mitts! owo look up kirby for gloved hand refs!
[IMAGE 7 - anatomy of leg bones sorta]
reads I’m not good at the legs ;;;
on right is diagram from wikipedia with the leg bones going down marked as
femur- longest bone
patella - kneecaps
tibula
fibula - no lie
and toesies (which are metatarsals but go off)
[IMAGE 8 - boots! only says boot on first and then nothing else]
[IMAGE 9 - spine and closing notes]
reads at top “Pap’s spine is rectangles because I like how these guys look” [arrow pointing to two residents of flopside from super paper mario]
sassilyon right “He’s made of magic so it’s fine.”
then next to winking papyrus “Remember! Papyrus would love whatever you draw cause it’s hard to capture greatness and you’regreat for trying!”
