Drawing Crossovers

Crossovers are an amazing thing. Especially when they happen in-canon, such as in the episode of Transformers Robots in Disguise, when Rescue Bot Blurr makes an appearance!

But sometimes, we can come up with crossovers that, well, let's face it. They just aren't going to happen. So, it's up to us the fans to write, or draw them.

Alright, so what two fandoms have you dreamt of having the characters meet? For this post, I'll be using several examples, the first of which being a book-meets-movie art. 

So for those of you who have seen the movie How to Train Your Dragon, you know Toothless as a rather large black scaled dragon cutie, who most definitely HAS teeth. But if you've read the books, then you'll know the original Toothless was small enough to ride around on Hiccup's shoulder, was a pale sickly green color, and had no teeth. 

Those are some rather drastic differences don't you think? So can you imagine what it would be like for the movie Toothless to meet the book Toothless? Well....a while back I drew it. I was just beginning to draw Dragons then, and book Toothless had very few image references, so there might be a few alterations that I never noticed when drawing.

{I was also a little lazy with them and only drew as much as necessary to define each character XD}
I wonder what it would look like now if I re-drew it now hmm....I'll have to do that sometime soon and show you all.

Anyways, look at those major differences in character! It's like two whole different characters are meeting, which, they technically are. There are three things they share. 1; their name is Toothless, 2; they are dragons, and 3; their owner is Hiccup.

So can't you just imagine how awesome their meeting would be?


For my second example, I'll be using two very different fandoms, and a picture I'm sure is growing quite familiar on this blog.

 I'm pretty sure this is my third time using this picture now, but hey, it's been a great example for all the posts it's been in. It's one of my best pictures so far, but hopefully that will change sometime soon as I'm working on my design, but for the time being, this is also my best crossover art, so just bear with me here.

Anyways, this picture is a crossover between Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, and Young Justice, though it might not look like it. The winged person is Robin, who in a fan-fiction I'm writing, gains a Miraculous and becomes a hero called Oiseau.

{Oiseau is the French word for bird, and is basically pronounced Wazoo}.

So ya, drawing crossovers is really fun!


I want you to draw a crossover. Is it book-meets-movie? Or the meeting of two fandoms?

You can decide, but I want you to challenge yourself to draw it, and when it's ready, post it in the comments, and let me see your awesome ideas!
