Learning how to draw Pac-Man is about as easy as it gets—he's a circle with a wedge cut out for a mouth. No limbs, no frills, just a bright yellow shape that's been chomping dots since the 1980s. Whether you're after a simple Pac-Man drawing for fun or practising basic shapes, this is one of those subjects where you can nail the basics in minutes.

We've got 67 real Pac-Man drawings from players on Artbitrator, and you can watch how each one was made stroke by stroke. Try drawing a Pac-Man yourself in the game—the AI judge guesses in real time, so you'll know straight away if your circle and mouth angle are working.

How to Draw Pac-man

Simple steps to draw pac-man, based on what works in the examples above.

1 Start with a clean circle. You can freehand it or trace a cup; either way, keep it round and even.
2 Draw two straight lines from the centre to the edge to form the mouth wedge. Most people aim for about a 60–90 degree angle—wide enough to look hungry, not so wide it looks broken.
3 Add a small circle or oval for the eye, placed above the mouth opening. Keep it simple—Pac-Man doesn't need pupils or eyelids.
4 Colour the whole thing bright yellow. That's the iconic look, and it makes the mouth shape pop against the page.
5 If you want to refine your Pac-Man drawing, try it a few times in Artbitrator and replay the drawings to see how other players tackle the wedge angle and eye placement.

Tip: Get the mouth angle right first—too narrow and it looks timid, too wide and the circle falls apart.

Drawing Tips

The mouth is made of two straight lines that meet at the centre of the circle, not random curves—keep them clean and the shape reads instantly.
Place the eye closer to the top than the middle so Pac-Man looks like he's facing forward, not staring at his own mouth.
If you're drawing the classic arcade look, skip any shading and keep it flat yellow with a black outline—that retro simplicity is half the charm.

Pac-man Drawing FAQ

How do you draw a Pac-Man?

Draw a circle, then cut a wedge out by sketching two straight lines from the centre to the edge. Add a small circle for the eye above the mouth, colour it yellow, and you're done. It's one of the easiest beginner Pac-Man drawings out there.

Is Pac-Man hard to draw?

Not at all. Pac-Man is basically a circle with a slice missing—if you can draw a round shape and two straight lines, you've got it. The trickiest bit is keeping the mouth angle consistent, but even that's pretty forgiving.

Can I learn to draw Pac-Man by watching replays?

Absolutely. On Artbitrator, you can watch real player Pac-Man drawings build up stroke by stroke and see exactly how they handled the circle, the mouth wedge, and the eye placement. It's a brilliant way to pick up tips without reading a wall of text.
