Ok, so you know how to do the basic bean shape, now what? Now you get to play dress-up! Remember, there is nothing wrong with looking up references and exploring different body shapes and textures and all that. My favorite way of diversifying my amongi is by putting the sketch in the "distort" transform on most drawing apps and pushing and pulling them to be just right.

And there's your bean- wait. They remind me of someone.

Ohhhh that's who. Anyways, a bean drawn so stiff can only emote a couple things. Let's get into the more niche stuff on how to draw beans.

People make hands way more complicated than they need to be. If you want to make something realistic, go draw every joint and muscle and all that. However, this is Among Us. The hands are built to be clear, readable, and big. Simple shapes carry these hands; you don't need to be fancy about it really.

As for expressions, they can be a bit harder to grasp. After all, it is just one eye. My tips are mostly just imagining drawing expressions for a more complicated character who's mouth is being covered by a scarf, bandana or other kind of mask. It at its core is a lot of just drawing two eyes separate and connecting them together similar to Sonic or Plankton, or even better, find goofy expressions from the Among Us show or any fan-series online (my personal favs being Rodamrix and Remnant woah really?? no wayyy). Every artist has their own unique way of drawing their faces, so don't be afraid to pull and modify to fit best with your own personal style.

And if you wanna do dynamic legs, just take one of the legs you drew before and bend them to whatever pose you are trying to copy or draw. This works for the body too, just bend them like you would a human spine until the emotion you want to show is conveyed. Once again, references are amazing and should be used. Joints are not mandatory. But if they trip you up, I can totally make another post discussing my way of "gesturing" the beans.

Combine all those things together and badabing badaboom you can make peak art like this in no time flat.

Is this just me plugging my OC story again? Maybe. But it doesn't matter, the principle is still the same. Draw those Deltarune beans twin, I believe in you ✨✨✨

I am more than willing to answer any questions you or anyone else my have. Feel free to reach out for clarifications or other tutorials or whatever lol. I love explaining my process for things.
