Fun facts
How do I draw my OC as an Among Us crewmate?
Start by sketching a rounded pill shape for the body and a smaller oval for the visor. Add a rectangle backpack slightly behind the body and simple rounded limbs. Keep proportions simple: visor about one-third the body height. Add defining features of your OC—hairstyle, hat, pet, or emblem—scaled to the crewmate shape. Ink outlines, erase sketch lines, then color flat areas. Finish with small highlights on the visor and any accessories.
What materials do I need to draw my OC in Among Us style?
You only need basic art supplies: paper or sketchbook, a pencil, and an eraser. For coloring, use colored pencils, markers, or crayons. Fine liners or a black pen help outline the crewmate. Optional items: a ruler for straight accessory edges, reference images of your OC, stickers or stencils for consistent shapes, and a tablet with drawing software if you prefer digital coloring and easy corrections.
What ages is this activity suitable for?
This activity suits ages 4–12 with adjustments. Toddlers and preschoolers (4–6) can trace and color basic crewmate shapes with adult help. Elementary kids (7–9) can add simple accessories and choose colors. Older children (10–12+) can work on proportion, shading, and more detailed customization. Supervision is recommended for younger kids when using scissors or markers. Adapt complexity to each child’s fine motor skills and interest level.
What are the benefits and fun variations of drawing your OC in Among Us style?
Drawing your OC as an Among Us crewmate builds creativity, observation, and proportion skills while practicing color choices and simple shading. It boosts confidence as kids translate character traits into minimalist designs. Variations include making crewmate teams, drawing seasonal costumes, creating a comic strip of your OC’s tasks, or doing a digital version with layers. You can also swap styles—chibi, spooky, or superhero—to expand storytelling and art technique practice.

Need help?
I don't have a black marker or a scanner — what can I use instead?
If you don't have a black marker, trace your final pencil lines with a dark ballpoint pen or fine-tip permanent marker, and use a phone camera to photograph your finished crewmate instead of scanning it for sharing.
My marker smudged when I tried to erase the pencil lines—how can I fix that?
To avoid smudging, follow the step to wait a few minutes for the marker ink to dry, blot any wet ink gently with scrap paper, then use a soft eraser and erase lightly so only the pencil lines are removed without disturbing the traced lines.
How can I change the activity for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, pre-sketch the rounded bean shape, backpack, and visor and give thick crayons and a large eraser to color and erase easily, while older kids can add detailed emblems, extra accessories, shading on the visor highlight, and edit the photographed image digitally.
How can we make the OC drawing more advanced or personal?
Extend the activity by drawing a whole crew with different accessories and emblems, adding a background scene or a short comic strip showing the personality detail, writing your name and the date as instructed, and photographing the set to share on DIY.org.
