You may have missed the Among Us memes and art tutorials that have been making the rounds over the past week. People have been drawing the famous Among Us crewmates, using this baseline to create many detailed images. The meme-making abilities of the multiplayer game are well-known, but this trend has been reaffirmed with the Among Us meme tutorials.
If you missed it, here’s how it goes. Step 1: Draw Among Us character. Step 2: Transform it into another. Step 3: Make a profit. While this seems like a bit of a joke (and it is), it’s oddly intriguing to find out how the Among Us crewmate shape can actually be transplanted into so many designs and drawings, and offer some sort of assistance in your art projects.
According to Know Your Meme, this all started in September when someone on Twitter tried out the technique of drawing an eye’s iris as an Among Us crewmate, and to our surprise (and everyone else’s I assume) it looked both accurate and good.
Next thing you know, however, the Among Us meme-art tutorials have taken a turn towards other body parts. My absolute favorite is a very detailed drawing water, which stems from simply drawing basic crewmate outlines on a background of blue.
If you want to get in on the action yourself, here’s how it’s done: draw some basic Among US crewmates on a blue background, roughly fill the outlines, transform and duplicate the white layer onto a darker one underneath, adjust the shadow opacity of the darker outlines, and you’re done. Reddit also has the full image and guide.
In fact, developer InnerSloth’s official Among Us Twitter account recently acknowledged the trend, with a tweet showing cells being made out of the Among us crewmate, which you can see below.
