From the world famous Mouse to the inter-galactic famous Stitch, name it and you can draw it! Although by watching them on television, you may think that they are complicated to draw, do not be discouraged. If you really want to learn to draw Disney characters, a little practice and love for your character is all you need! Who knows, maybe you’ll be one of their animators someday?

Materials

You would need a couple of materials before you start. Get a pencil, eraser and a set of coloring materials. It depends on your preference on whether you would want to use markers, crayons or colored pencils. Pick out a character and have a picture of him or her ready with you too. It is possible for you to learn all the characters. However, it is best that you concentrate first with just one, since you are still at the beginning stage. Once you’ve found a picture that is not too small and not too big to work with, then you can start drawing.

Plan And Map

First, you should plan and map the features of your character. Based on the picture you have, try to locate the basic shapes of your character’s body features. Start by drawing ovals which are relative the basic shape and size of its body, head, and limbs. It highly depends on what you character would be doing. Based on this, position the ovals to where you want the body parts of your character to be. It’s advised that you start out with the head.

Starting With The Facial Features

Start placing outlines of the different facial features. Make sure they are in the correct proportion. Generally, Disney characters have almond- or oval-shaped eyes. Make sure that you get the right shape of the basic features, since these are the most important. This would include: eyes, nose and mouth. Try not to put too much detail yet.

Shape The Body

Start drawing the body. Make sure that you use rounded lines. Generally, if your character is female, you should draw the upper chest and hips larger and rounder compared to the waist. If it’s a male, the shoulders are the most prominent. So, draw them to be the largest.

Add On Limbs And Hands

For the arms and legs, draw them by creating oval shapes. Do this for both upper and lower extremities. For the knee, draw a circle in between the ovals of the upper and lower leg. Connect all these simple shapes using rounded lines.

Draw the hands. Create a rounded square that has three ovals on top, with 2 connected ovals at the side to stand as the thumb. Draw the feet by creating a basic shape for a shoe. You can also be creative and make him/her barefooted. Connect all the ovals by the use of rounded lines. Smoothen the outline and erase unnecessary parts.

Color It!

Use your coloring materials and color your drawing. Look at the picture for color reference.
