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 5

To me, getting Minnie's gloves is one of the hardest things to draw. Make sure that there are four NOT five fingers to each hand. Remember, Minnie is a 'toon and they don't follow the rules of the real world. Be expressive! (If you've noticed, Minnie's hands are like that a LOT in the parks!)

Step 6

This is the toughest part of drawing Minnie's body. The dress represents her a lot and its important to keep her dress a little "fluffy".Her arms at the top in blue are expressive too. All of this gives her that "cute as a button look" we all know and love!

Step 7

Her feet are touching together as mentioned before. They are also oversized too. We are talking about large high heels here! Her tail should also curl a bit as demonstrated above. We don't want a straight tail since it is lifeless and dull.

Step 8

Erase all the unnecessary lines and were done! It was tougher, but we made Minnie come to life!
