How to draw Mickey Mouse

Follow our easy step by step guide below as we teach you how to draw mickey mouse.

Step 1

Start by drawing a circle on your paper and then add center lines to help you position Mickey’s features.

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 1

Step 2

Now add Mickey’s eyes and nose. His eyes rest on the edge of one center line. Make sure that you add a little curve right below his eyes.

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 2

Step 3

Add Mickey’s happy smile and chin. The top portion of his mouth follows the same curve as his nose. See how his chin extends below the cirle of the head.

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 3

Step 4

Draw two large ovals for Mickey’s ears then add curved lines to from the area around his cheeks and eyes. This is called the ‘Mask’.

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 4

Step 5

Now you can rub out your guide lines and start to clean up your drawing of Mickey Mouse.

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 5

Step 6

Now that you have a cleaned up outline of Mickey Mouse you can colour him in whichever colours you like. We always prefer the tradtional colours as you can see below. So there you have it

Draw Mickey Mouse - Step 6

Those are our 6 simple steps to drawing Mickey Mouse. We hope that you found them useful and that you can now draw Mickey Mouse.
