El Brown is the cuddly bear-suited brawler from Brawl Stars, and drawing him is a brilliant first step into character art. In this tutorial I will guide you through the shapes that make El Brown look chunky, fierce and fun.

🎨 What You Need

  • A4 white paper
  • HB pencil for sketching
  • Black fine-liner or marker
  • Brown, beige, red and black colouring pencils
  • Soft eraser

How to Draw El Brown Step by Step

  1. Start with a large rounded square in the middle of your paper for the bear hood. This will be the biggest shape, so leave room around it.
  2. Add two small rounded triangles on top for the bear ears, then draw smaller circles inside them for the inner ear.
  3. Draw an oval inside the hood for El Brown's face. Keep it lower so the hood frames his head nicely.
  4. Sketch two angry slanted eyebrows, two small round eyes and a wide cheeky smile showing teeth.
  5. Below the face, draw a chunky body shape like a rounded rectangle, then add two strong arms with mitten-style paws.
  6. Add the legs as short stumpy rectangles with paw prints at the bottom.
  7. Outline everything with your black fine-liner, then erase pencil marks gently.
  8. Colour the hood and body warm brown, the face and tummy patch beige, and add a red detail on his chest. Shade lightly for depth.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Draw the bear hood shape first and the face inside it — that order keeps proportions correct and stops the head looking too small.

🌟 Did You Know?

El Brown's design is inspired by the strong, calm energy of a brown bear, which is why his suit looks so heavy and protective in the game.

Tips for a Better El Brown Drawing

  • Keep his eyebrows sharp and slanted — that is what gives him his tough expression.
  • Use two shades of brown so the hood and body do not look flat.
  • Add a tiny shine on the eyes with a white gel pen to make him look alive.
  • Press lightly with your pencil so mistakes are easy to fix.

  1. Draw El Brown three times, each smaller than the last.
  2. Give each version a different facial expression — angry, happy and surprised.
  3. Colour only one of them and leave the others as line art.
  4. Show your favourite version to a friend and ask which expression they like best.
