1. 1

   Draw Mickey and Minnie Mouse. What better way to begin than with two of the very first characters Walt Disney himself invented? Use circles to draw their faces and ears in the original Disney style.

2. 2

   Draw Mickey's dog, Pluto, to accompany him and Minnie. Pluto is part English Pointer, so try looking at photos of real dogs to make his body shape more accurate.

3. 3

   Draw Donald Duck, another one of Mickey's loyal companions. Donald is known for his quick temper, but this illustration shows off his more positive side: he's smiling happily, with his hands tucked behind his back.

4. 4

   Draw Pinocchio. This puppet-turned-real-boy has lots of rounded edges and soft colors; keep that in mind as you're drawing him.

5. 5

   Draw Dumbo the flying elephant. Focus on his ears, of course, since they're his claim to fame.

6. 6

   Draw Bambi. Accentuate his long limbs and big eyes to make him look extra playful and innocent. Color his body light brown and his head slightly darker.

7. 7

   Draw the fairy godmother from Cinderella. Use long, swooped lines to draw her cape, and make her face round and kind.

8. 8

   Draw Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. Draw his arms outstretched and a wide, mischievous grin on his face.

9. 9

   Draw Tinkerbell. She's a friend of Peter Pan's and has small, dainty limbs and wings. At the same time, she's very sassy and energetic, and her pose should reflect that!

    Draw Lady and the Tramp, the titular characters of the 1955 movie. Although this pose isn't from the famous spaghetti-eating scene, the positions and expressions of the two dogs clearly show that they care about each other.

11. 11

    Draw the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. He may start off as downright frightening, both in manners and appearance, but Belle manages to transform him into a gentleman by the end of the movie (as shown here).

12. 12

    Draw Aladdin. Like the Beast, he is introduced as a completely different character than he ends up. This incarnation is Aladdin before he meets Genie.

13. 13

    Draw Mufasa, Simba's father in The Lion King. Mufasa has a certain regal stance and a fierce look in his eyes—make sure to incorporate those details into your drawing.

14. 14

    Draw Buzz Lightyear. Being a toy rather than a person, Buzz's lines are cleaner and his features more artificial-looking, so keep that in mind!

15. 15

    Draw Cruella De Vil, the main antagonist of 101 Dalmatians. Cruella has a sharply angled face and body and her clothes are richly colored to contrast with her white skin and black hair.

16. 16

    Draw Cinderella , Walt Disney's favorite princess, Cinderella has a blonde-strawberry princess ponytail and has blue/white dress and a circled face.
