Draw your original character (OC) as an Among Us crewmate using simple shapes, colors, and accessories while practicing proportions and creativity.


Step-by-step guide to Draw Your OC In Among Us Style
Step 1
Decide on three key features of your OC: one main color one accessory and one personality detail.
Step 2
Lightly sketch a rounded bean shape for the crewmate body in the middle of your paper.
Step 3
Draw a small rounded rectangle on the back of the bean shape to make the backpack.
Step 4
Draw a horizontal rounded rectangle near the top front of the bean to make the visor.
Step 5
Add two short rounded legs at the bottom of the bean spaced evenly apart.
Step 6
Draw your OC’s accessory on the crewmate using simple shapes (for example a hat hairbow or badge).
Step 7
Add one simple emblem or pattern on the body that shows your OC’s personality or style.
Step 8
Trace the final pencil lines with your black marker to make the drawing bold.
Step 9
Wait a few minutes for the marker ink to dry so it won’t smudge.
Step 10
Gently erase the pencil lines so only the marker lines stay.
Step 11
Color the crewmate body accessory and emblem using your chosen colors.
Step 12
Add a small white highlight line or dot on the visor to make it look shiny.
Step 13
Write your name and the date in a small corner of the paper.
Step 14
Take a photo or scan your finished Among Us style OC and share it on DIY.org

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.

Facts about character design and drawing for kids
✨ Drawing a bright highlight on the visor creates a quick 3D effect that makes crewmates look shiny and dimensional.
🧢 A tiny accessory (like a hat or mask) or a bold color swap is often enough to make an OC instantly recognizable in a crowd.
🎮 Among Us was released in 2018 but became a worldwide hit in 2020 after popular streamers and content creators started playing it.
🎨 Players can customize crewmates with different colors, hats, skins, and pets to make each OC stand out.
🟦 The crewmate shape is super simple — a rounded 'bean' body plus an oval visor — which makes it great for learning proportions with basic shapes.
