MinnieM.com / Drawing Minnie Standing (Entire Body)

Welcome to another lesson in drawing Minnie Mouse. If you haven't learned to draw Minnie's head in a 3/4 perspective, please do so. You will have a much harder time doing this without learning that lesson.

Minnie's body is a lot more expressive than Mickey's. She wears a dress and since Minnie has a very feminine feel, you just can't draw her the same has as Mickey.

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 1

In the animation world, Minnie is 3 heads tall - about the same size as Mickey. If we put someone like Goofy side to side, she must be smaller than him! Besides, Giant Minnies are scary to look at! The blue streak is the direction her body will be posing. It's not straight, as Minnie is very feminine in stature.

Step 2

Next are the arms and legs. Please make sure that the knees here are bent a little.

Step 3

Here comes the Mouse ears! Remember, this is a 3/4 perspective, which means we are kind of looking at Minnie's head from the side, not straight ahead. Make sure Minnie's shoes are pointing together as pictured above. Minnie is VERY expressive with her feet!

Step 4

Make sure you know how to do Minnie's head 3/4! It was explained in the last lesson.
