Then draw the horizontal line, which will help us to draw eyes. Note, that they should cross at right angles. Note that line the eye is slightly of the lower conditional center of the head. Draw two small circles on the upper part of the head, and in the result you should get a very recognizable eared silhouette of Mickey Mouse.

Step 3

This step seems too hard, but it isn’t so. At first draw the torso of Mickey Mouse – it looks like a thin (much thinner than the head) raindrop, slightly tapered at the bottom. Then draw a pair of elongated cylinders at the top of the torso, right under the head. Then sketch out the unproportionally big palms. Then draw two thin cylinders in the lower part of the torso.Then draw two thin cylinders in the lower part of the torso. It will be the guides for the legs. Then, In the bottom of the legs draw feet in the form of the curved ovals (note, that feet should be very similar to beans).

Step 4

They should be placed at the sides of the verticals facial line, right above the horizontal line. Then using a flattened oval draw a nose, which should be located directlyunder the line of the eye. Then using curved lines draw the smile. And at the end of this step, draw the cheeks, chin and area around the eyes in the form of the letter “M”.

Step 5
