Welcome to another lesson in drawing Minnie Mouse. If you haven't learned how to draw Minnie's head, please do so. Although it is not required for you to learn how to draw Minnie's head straight on, its a good ideal for you to understand the basic structure of this character.

Now while we are still doing yet another head of Minnie, this is a little different. This is a 3/4th perceptive of Minnie, which means we are drawing her head if she were to the side. In my personal opinion, this way is much harder to do since you are dealing with perspectives. It might be a good ideal to practice draw 3-D spheres in order to get in the groove of things..

You will need pencils and some scrap paper (Graph paper recommended). Pencils will erase the lines that are unnecessary when the drawing is finished. Colored pencils, crayons and other means of coloring are optional. You could color your drawing with a pencil.

Step 5

Here goes the Muzzle and nose. Start from below the pupils, then draw the line, touching the bottom of the left eye first, then curve down to meet the vertical line and bottom of the circle. End the curve before you hit the horizontal line. That will form her mouth.

Step 6

After that, we can draw here mouth. As you can see, it goes down the bottom circle a bit. Unless you want to make your Minnie very expressive, don't make her mouth too large. Minnie's bow could be a little hard, but it really isn't Start with the middle of the bow, which is directly on top of the circle. You should cover most of the ear and it should start to fall in place. Keep perspectives in mind as this is NOT a 2-D Minnie.

Step 7

We are almost done! You can now erase the unnecessary lines and color or pencil in her pupils, mouth, nose, bow and other parts. If you did a good job on this one, congratulations! This way of drawing Minnie is pretty tough for newcomers, but after a few tries, you should get the hang of it. Keep on trying!
