Draw Disney Characters

Draw Disney Characters


With a basic understanding of drawing, Disney characters are easy to sketch Although all the characters are very different, practicing the creation of one will teach you the basics of draw all of them. Follow the tips below for drawing Disney characters.


Instructions


1. Have a point of reference. Have a picture to look at, whether it is from a book or a cover of a video. Drawing from memory is extremely hard.


2. Break everything into basic shapes. Use circles, oval, and curved lines to develop the basic shape of the character. Remember to draw lightly.


3. Begin with the head, sketching the right shape. For instance, Mickey Mouse's head will be made out of three circles, a head and two ears. Draw the facial features next, being careful to put them in the right place on the head. Most eyes are large and oval-shaped. Noses and mouths for animal characters differ, but for human characters such as Snow White, noses are simplified to a small line with a couple nostrils.


4. Be careful to get the correct posture of the character. Sketch the arms and legs even if they will be covered with clothes later. Goofy usually has hunched shoulders and is gangling, while Donald Duck's back is curved into a large bottom. Most characters have positions that are distinct to that character.


5. Add clothing to the body. Clothing on Disney characters is usually pretty basic and requires only the basic shape and color. Some characters like Simba will not wear any clothing, while a character like Princess Jasmine or Jafar wear more complicated clothing.


6. Once the basic shape and proportions have been drawn, make the lines permanent with black marker or pen. Also erase extra lines that were used originally to find the right shape.


7. Color the picture. Colored pencil or marker will look the best.
