-
Draw Mickey and Minnie Mouse . What better way to begin than with two of the very first characters Walt Disney himself invented? Use circles to draw their faces and ears in the original Disney style.
-
Draw Mickey's dog, Pluto , to accompany him and Minnie. Pluto is part English Pointer, so try looking at photos of real dogs to make his body shape more accurate.Advertisement
-
Draw Donald Duck , another one of Mickey's loyal companions. Donald is known for his quick temper, but this illustration shows off his more positive side: he's smiling happily, with his hands tucked behind his back."Disney is just so cool to draw, but it is really hard for me to draw it. You do it in a simple but very good way." more comments
-
Draw Pinocchio . This puppet-turned-real-boy has lots of rounded edges and soft colors; keep that in mind as you're drawing him.
-
Draw Dumbo the flying elephant. Focus on his ears, of course, since they're his claim to fame.
-
Draw Bambi . Accentuate his long limbs and big eyes to make him look extra playful and innocent. Color his body light brown and his head slightly darker.
-
Draw the fairy godmother from Cinderella. Use long, swooped lines to draw her cape, and make her face round and kind.
-
Draw Peter Pan , the boy who never grew up. Draw his arms outstretched and a wide, mischievous grin on his face.
-
Draw Tinkerbell . She's a friend of Peter Pan's and has small, dainty limbs and wings. At the same time, she's very sassy and energetic, and her pose should reflect that!
-
Draw Lady and the Tramp , the titular characters of the 1955 movie. Although this pose isn't from the famous spaghetti-eating scene, the positions and expressions of the two dogs clearly show that they care about each other.
-
Draw the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. He may start off as downright frightening, both in manners and appearance, but Belle manages to transform him into a gentleman by the end of the movie (as shown here).
-
Draw Aladdin . Like the Beast, he is introduced as a completely different character than he ends up. This incarnation is Aladdin before he meets Genie.
-
Draw Mufasa , Simba's father in The Lion King . Mufasa has a certain regal stance and a fierce look in his eyes—make sure to incorporate those details into your drawing.
-
Draw Buzz Lightyear . Being a toy rather than a person, Buzz's lines are cleaner and his features more artificial-looking, so keep that in mind!
-
Draw Cruella De Vil , the main antagonist of 101 Dalmatians . Cruella has a sharply angled face and body and her clothes are richly colored to contrast with her white skin and black hair.
-
Draw Cinderella , Walt Disney's favorite princess, Cinderella has a blonde-strawberry princess ponytail and has blue/white dress and a circled face.
