How to Draw Italian Brainrot Characters (Easy Steps)

7 min read · Brainrot Test

The easiest way to learn how to draw Italian brainrot characters is to stop thinking "character" and start thinking "two shapes smashed together." Every Italian brainrot creature is one animal plus one random object, so you draw each part as a simple shape, join them, then add the detail that makes it recognizable. Below: the trick, then step-by-step guides for the four most-drawn characters.

If you're drawing these because your brain won't stop playing the audio, fair. Brainrot Test can tell you how much the feed is running the show. Check my brainrot

What you need

Nothing fancy. This works on paper or on a tablet.

• A pencil (any kind) and an eraser
• A black pen or fine marker for outlines
• Colored pencils, markers or a drawing app for color
• Optional: a coin or bottle cap to trace perfect circles

If you're drawing digitally, use one layer for rough shapes and a new layer for the clean outline. Then hide the rough layer. It looks instantly more pro.

The shape trick that works for every Italian brainrot drawing

This is the whole secret to easy Italian brainrot drawings. Before any detail, break the character into three shape jobs:

1. The animal body. Usually an oval, a bean or a long teardrop.
2. The weird object. Sneakers, a cup, a log, a plane, a planet. Almost always a rectangle, a circle or a cylinder.
3. The face. Big eyes, simple mouth. The face is what makes it read as "alive."

Sketch light. Your first lines are scaffolding, not the drawing. When the shapes look balanced, go over the ones you want to keep with pen and erase the rest.

How to draw Tralalero Tralala (the shark)

This is the most searched one: how to draw the Italian brainrot shark. Here's the step by step.

Step-by-step

1. Draw a long teardrop lying on its side, fat end on the left. That's the shark body.
2. Add a triangle fin on top, near the middle.
3. Add a tail: two small triangles at the thin end, like a sideways V.
4. Draw three legs hanging down: simple short lines or thin rectangles.
5. Put a sneaker on each leg. Draw each sneaker as a rounded rectangle with a flat bottom, then add a curved line for the sole and a little swoosh or stripe on the side.
6. Add the face: one round eye near the front and a wide, slightly smug mouth with a few triangle teeth.
7. Color it: light blue-gray on top, white belly, and pick any bright color for the shoes.

Beginner tip: if the legs look weird, make them shorter. Short legs look funnier anyway.

How to draw Tung Tung Tung Sahur

This one is honestly the easiest Italian brainrot drawing for kids and beginners, because it's basically one shape.

Step-by-step

1. Draw a tall rectangle with rounded corners. That's the log body. Make it about twice as tall as it is wide.
2. Add wood lines: a few wavy vertical lines and one or two small circles for knots.
3. Draw the face high up: two big round eyes with small pupils, and a thin, straight mouth. The blank stare is the whole vibe.
4. Add stick arms and legs coming out of the sides and bottom.
5. Draw the bat in one hand: a long skinny rectangle that gets wider at the top.
6. Color it in light brown with darker brown lines. Keep it simple.

Want to turn up the drama? Add three little motion lines by the bat and write "TUNG" in bubble letters behind it.

How to draw Ballerina Cappuccina

The most-drawn character, and for good reason: she's cute and recognizable.

Step-by-step

1. Start with the head: draw a cup. A U-shape, a flat oval on top for the rim and a small C-shape handle on one side.
2. Add foam: a wavy, cloud-like line just inside the rim. Optional: a little heart in the foam.
3. Draw the face on the cup: closed or sparkly eyes, rosy cheeks, small smile.
4. Draw the body as a stick figure in a ballet pose: one arm up in a curve, one leg pointed out.
5. Add the tutu: a wide, flat zigzag skirt at the waist, like a paper plate from the side.
6. Color the cup white or cream, the coffee light brown, the tutu pink.

This is where most people quit: the pose looks stiff and you can't tell if it's "bad" or just unfinished. Judging your own progress is hard with drawing, and even harder with your phone habits.

How to draw Bombardiro Crocodilo

The trickiest of the four, but the shape trick makes it manageable.

Step-by-step

1. Draw a long horizontal oval for the plane body.
2. Turn the front into a crocodile snout: stretch the front of the oval into a long, flat rectangle with a rounded tip.
3. Add a zigzag line along the snout for teeth.
4. Draw two wings: long, flat triangles coming off the middle, one on each side (one partly hidden behind the body).
5. Add a tail fin at the back: a small upright triangle.
6. Draw two or three small ovals hanging under the wings. Those are the bombs.
7. Add an eye near the top of the snout and a few scale bumps along the back.
8. Color the body green, the wings gray and the bombs dark gray.

If your crocodile looks more like a hot dog, make the snout longer and add more teeth. Teeth fix everything.
