1. Head Circle:
- Start with a large circle for Mickey's head.
2. Face Centerline:
- Draw a vertical line down the center of the head to serve as a guideline for the facial features.
3. Ears:
- Add two semi-circles on top of the head for Mickey's signature ears. Leave space between them for the forehead.
4. Nose:
- On the face, draw a small "U" shape or semi-circle for Mickey's nose, just below the head's center.
5. Muzzle and Mouth:
- Below the nose, draw a curve for the muzzle and add a horizontal line for the mouth.
6. Eyes and Pupils:
- For each eye, draw a teardrop shape under the forehead. Add a smaller circle inside each teardrop for the pupils.
7. Eyebrows:
- Draw two short curved lines above each eye for the eyebrows.
8. Cheeks:
- Just under each eye, draw a semi-circle or "C" shape for the cheeks.
9. Chin and Chin Strap:
- Curve a line from one cheek, around the muzzle, and to the other cheek for Mickey's chin. Under the chin, add a small semi-circle for the chin strap.
10. Body:
- Draw an oval or oblong shape under the head to represent Mickey's body.
11. Arms:
- Sketch two lines from the body upwards to form Mickey's arms. Add hands with three fingers on each hand.
12. Legs:
- Draw two legs under the body and end them with circular feet.
13. Tail:
- Sketch a small semi-circle or comma shape from the rear end of the body for Mickey's tail.
14. Outline:
- Once satisfied with the proportions and shapes, carefully trace over the lines with a darker pen to create a clean final outline.
15. Color and Details:
- Color Mickey in his classic black color, leaving his eyes, muzzle, and gloves in white. You can also add details like facial expressions, clothing, or accessories to further customize your drawing of Mickey Mouse.
Remember that practice makes perfect. Keep drawing Mickey Mouse, and you'll improve over time. Have fun!
