Step-by-Step Easy Mouse Tutorial
Start by drawing a large circle slightly above the center of your paper for the mouse’s head.
Draw two smaller circles on the top left and top right of the head for the ears.
Add two round eyes, a small oval nose, and a little curved mouth.
Draw a smaller circle inside each ear to create the inner ear detail.
Draw a large U-shape or oval extending down from the head to form the body.
Draw a long, curving tail on one side, and two small oval feet at the bottom of the body.
Add two curved arms resting on the sides of the body, and draw straight whiskers coming from the cheeks.
Draw a tiny tuft of hair on top of the head, and add little claw lines to the hands and feet.
Color your mouse gray or brown, and use a nice pink color for the inner ears, nose, and tail.
Whisker Placement: Draw whiskers coming from the cheeks in slightly different lengths for a natural look!
Tail Curve: A long, gently curving tail makes your mouse look like it’s scurrying along — have fun with the shape!
