Street Fighter IV: Ryu Amigurumi

Ryu Amigurumi Closeup
Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting at all last month, February was a super busy month for me! I was kept occupied with birthdays (including mine!), Valentine’s, Chinese New Year and the Olympics! I am back though and ready to start posting regularly again! This is an Amigurumi crochet doll that I recently made for my boyfriend’s birthday present. It’s his favourite character from the game ‘Street Fighter IV’, Ryu! Unfortunately I forgot to take progress shots while making this guy but here are some shots of my planning and a sketch of how I pictured it to look!

Ryu Amigurumi Planning
I took a bunch of Ryu drawings from the internet for reference.

Ryu Amigurumi Sketch
Here’s the sketch that I came up with!

Here’s a full body shot of how the doll turned out. I’m very happy with it! The headbands, gloves and robe are all removable too.
