How to Draw Classic Mickey Mouse

1. Begin the classic Mickey Mouse outline by drawing his face. For the eyes, draw two ovals with a triangle missing. Shade the shapes.

Then, draw a pointed oval for the nose. Use curved lines to connect the eyes and nose, and continue the snout to the corner of the mouth.

2. Use a series of curved lines to outline the face, going over the eyes and around the corner of the mouth. Use additional lines to draw the open mouth and the tongue inside.

3. Use curved lines to draw the large circular ears and complete the head.

4. Use two curved lines for the arm and additional lines for the hand and side of the torso.

5. Complete the rectangular torso with a curved line. Extend two curved lines for the arm, then use a series of lines to enclose the hand and fingers.

6. Step 6
Draw the shorts. Use overlapping curved lines for the shorts and the legs. Draw two big oval buttons on the front.

7. Use two long curved lines for the leg and a series of overlapping curved lines for the irregular shape of the shoe.

8. Draw the other leg. Again, use two long curved lines for the leg and a series of overlapping curved lines for the irregular shape of the shoe.

9. Extend a thick, somewhat "S" shaped line from the body to form the tail.

Your classic Mickey Mouse outline is now complete. Color your character. Because early cartoons were in black and white, Mickey has black fur, a white face and shoes, and grey shorts.
