Add the sailor collar and basic clothing lines so the outfit looks like a Sailor-style costume.

Step 8

Refine your pencil sketch by cleaning up shapes and adding small details like fingers and shoe shapes.

Step 9

Trace your final clean lines with the black fineliner pen to make the drawing bold.

Step 10

Let the ink dry completely so it won’t smudge.

Step 11

Add shading and highlights with darker and lighter colored pencils to make the drawing pop.

What can I use if I don't have a black fineliner pen or glitter glue?

If you don't have a black fineliner pen you can use a thin black marker (0.3–0.5mm), a black gel pen, or a sharpened dark colored pencil to trace the final lines (step 8), and for glitter glue substitute clear-drying school glue with loose glitter or metallic gel pens for the DIY star Sailor Moon crystal (step 13).

My ink smudged and pencil lines still show after erasing—how can I fix that?

Follow step 9 by letting the ink dry completely, place a scrap paper under your hand while tracing (step 8) to avoid smudges, and if pencil marks persist after erasing (step 10) use a soft kneaded eraser and very light strokes to gently lift remaining graphite without damaging the finelined lines.

How can I adapt this drawing activity for younger or older kids?

For younger kids pre-draw the head circle, torso rectangle, and the star placement (steps 2–3, 4) and let them color and add sticker crystals instead of using glitter glue, while older kids can refine proportions, add detailed shading and highlights with colored pencils (steps 11–12) and design more complex ribbons and brooch parts for the star (step 6).

What are some ways to enhance or personalize the finished Froppy drawing?

Make the DIY star Sailor Moon crystal 3D by cutting star shapes from craft foam or cardstock and gluing them onto the drawn star (step 6), add metallic gel-pen highlights and extra glitter glue accents (step 13), or create a themed background before sharing your finished piece on DIY.org (step 14).

Facts about anime character drawing and safe craft techniques

✨ Glitter glue adds safe sparkle for kids' crafts — many brands are non-toxic, but it's smart to check the label and avoid contact with eyes or mouths.

🖊️ Inking with fine liners (0.1–0.5 mm) creates crisp outlines; pros usually ink over pencil sketches and then gently erase the pencil marks.

📐 Many character artists use 'head' measurements (like 6–8 heads tall) to keep proportions consistent when sketching full bodies.

🌙 Sailor Moon Crystal is a 2014 anime reboot that follows Naoko Takeuchi’s original Sailor Moon manga designs more closely than the 1990s series.

🐸 Tsuyu Asui (Froppy) is a My Hero Academia hero with frog-like abilities — perfect inspiration for playful poses and long-tongue expressions!

How do I draw Froppy wearing a DIY star Sailor Moon crystal accessory?

Start by finding reference images of Froppy and a Sailor Moon star crystal. Lightly sketch basic proportions: head-to-body ratio, torso, and limb placement. Block in the pose, then place the star crystal accessory where you want it (hair, chest brooch, or hand). Refine facial features and costume details, then ink clean outlines with a fine liner. Erase pencil marks and color with pencils; add glitter glue highlights on the star for a sparkly finish.

What materials do I need to draw Froppy with a DIY star Sailor Moon crystal?

Gather HB and 2B pencils, a soft eraser, sketch paper or a drawing pad, reference images, a ruler for straight edges, and fine liners (0.3–0.5 mm) for inking. For color use colored pencils or markers, plus non-toxic glitter glue for star accents. Optional: metallic gel pens, blending stump, and scrap paper for testing colors. Have a damp cloth or paper towel handy for quick cleanups.

What ages is this drawing activity suitable for?

This activity suits many ages: 6–8-year-olds can make a simplified Froppy with help sketching shapes and placing the star. Ages 9–12 can practice proportions, inking, and safe glitter use with moderate supervision. Teens and adults can focus on accurate anatomy, detailed inking, and advanced shading. Always supervise younger children when using glue, sharp tools, or small decorations.

What are the benefits and safety tips for this fan-art drawing project?

Drawing Froppy with a DIY star crystal builds proportion skills, hand-eye coordination, and creativity while teaching how to combine characters and accessories. It reinforces reference observation and inking control. For safety, use non-toxic art supplies, supervise glitter glue and scissors, and protect work surfaces. Variation ideas: change the crystal shape, try watercolor or digital coloring, or design an original hero outfit inspired by both characters.
