If you’re a Brawl Stars fan who loves making fan art, you’ve probably wanted to try your hand at drawing the chaotic, stun-gun-wielding security guard at least once. Learning how to draw Buzz from Brawl Stars is a fun project for artists of all skill levels, since his bold, over-the-top design leaves lots of room for personal creativity while still having clear, recognizable features to work with. This guide breaks down every part of the process into simple, actionable steps, so you don’t have to struggle with wonky proportions or missing details to get a great final result.
What You’ll Need Before You Start Drawing Buzz from Brawl Stars
You don’t need fancy professional gear to make a great Buzz drawing, but having a few basic supplies on hand will make the process much smoother. If you’re working with traditional media, grab these items first, and if you’re drawing digitally, you can replicate most of these tools in your drawing app of choice.
If you only have a regular pencil and lined paper lying around, that works too. You don’t need expensive professional supplies to get great results — the most important thing is practicing the steps, not the gear you use. You can also pull up a reference photo of Buzz from Brawl Stars on your phone to look at as you work, it’s completely okay to reference official art as you learn.
Step-by-Step Process to Sketch Buzz’s Core Shape
The biggest mistake new artists make when drawing Buzz is jumping straight into details before they get the basic shape right. Start with light, barely visible lines so you can erase adjustments easily later. First, draw a large circle for his helmeted head, then a smaller, wider rectangle below it for his bulky torso. Buzz has a very top-heavy build, so his torso should be almost twice as wide as his legs to match his in-game design.
Next, map out his limbs: draw two thick, short lines for his legs, and two slightly longer lines for his arms. His left arm (the one holding the stun gun) should be a little longer and thicker than his right, to account for the weight of the weapon. Add small ovals for his gloves and boots at the end of each limb, and a small horizontal line across the lower third of his head circle to mark where his visor will sit. Always start with light, loose lines so you don’t leave permanent marks when you adjust proportions.
It’s normal to mess up the proportions on your first few tries. I’ve erased entire basic layouts 3 or 4 times before getting the shape of Buzz’s bulky upper body right, so don’t feel discouraged if you run into the same issue. If you get frustrated, step away from your desk for 5 minutes to reset your focus. Many creative people find that short, low-stakes activities help them come back to their work with a clearer eye. Casual game fans who enjoy quick, laid-back rounds between art sessions often play INR Rummy to unwind without pulling too much of their attention away from their drawing project. Once you feel refreshed, pick your pencil back up and make small adjustments until the basic shape looks right to you.
Adding Iconic Details to Make Your Buzz Drawing Recognizable
Once you’re happy with the core shape, you can start adding the details that make Buzz look like Buzz, instead of a generic security guard. Start with his helmet: draw a curved line across the mark you made earlier for the visor, making sure it covers at least two-thirds of his face. Add a small thin antenna sticking up from the top left of his helmet, and a tiny circular badge on the right side. The red tint of his visor is the first detail most fans notice, so make sure it’s large enough to stand out against his yellow helmet.
Next, work on his outfit: draw a thick utility belt across his waist, with two small rectangular pouches on either side. Add stripes to the top of his boots, and fingerless gloves on his hands. For his stun gun, draw a rectangular base attached to his left hand, with two long thin prongs sticking out of the front, and a small handle on the bottom. Don’t skip the small yellow lightning bolt decal on the side of his stun gun, it’s a tiny detail that makes your drawing feel instantly recognizable to other Brawl Stars fans.
If you want to add extra personality, you can draw him with a wide, goofy grin peeking out from under his visor, or add small scuffs to his helmet and stun gun to make him look like he just finished a tough Brawl Stars match. You don’t have to follow the official design 100% — adding small personal touches will make your fan art feel unique to you.
Coloring and Final Touches to Bring Your Buzz to Life
Coloring Buzz is where your drawing really comes to life, and it’s easier than you think if you follow his official color palette. Start with the base layer: color his entire jumpsuit, helmet, and gloves bright neon yellow. Leave the visor, belt, boot stripes, and stun gun base blank for now. Neon colors can look washed out if you don’t layer them properly, so add two thin coats of yellow instead of one thick one to get that bright, glowing look.
Next, color the visor, belt, boot stripes, and stun gun base matte black. Add bright red to the visor tint, the small accents on his boot soles, and the tips of his stun gun prongs. Color the stun gun body and his chest badge metallic silver, or light gray if you don’t have a silver marker. Once all the base colors are dry, add light shadows to give him depth: add a thin shadow under the edge of his helmet, under his utility belt, and on the side of his stun gun that’s facing away from the light. If you’re drawing digitally, add a tiny white highlight to the corner of his visor to make it look shiny and reflective.
Once you’re done coloring, go over your outlines with a dark pencil or black marker to make them pop, and erase any remaining light sketch lines that are still visible. You can add a simple background if you want, like the floors of the Brawl Stars arena, or a crowd of other brawlers cheering in the background, but even a plain white background works great if you want the focus to be entirely on Buzz.
Learning how to draw Buzz from Brawl Stars gets easier every time you practice, so don’t worry if your first sketch doesn’t look exactly like the official design. Even experienced fan artists take multiple tries to get every detail right, and small imperfections make your art feel more personal. Once you’re happy with your final drawing, share it with the Brawl Stars fan community — other fans love seeing creative takes on their favorite brawlers, and you might even get tips to make your next drawing even better.
