Learning to Draw Dororong

May 12, 2025Last Updated: August 2, 2025

Have you heard of the great Dororong?

See the Dororong.

Reddit Memes.

A sudden stroke of inspiration struck me when I saw this meme.

I have been inspired to learn to draw, so that I may one day freely draw doros of my own.

I'll be using Krita, because I heard it's good, and using a wacom tablet that I bought for osu! and sculpting.

Although sometimes I'll just use MS Paint if I'm lazy.

Turns out it's really hard to keep a drawing habit (for me anyway), but here's my latest work (5 minutes in paint):

Yea it's not exactly Doro, but the soul is there (imo).
