- Hey, there, everyone.
I'm Stephen, I'm one of the artists here
at Disney's Art of Animation Resort in Florida.
Every day of the week, you can find me
or another Walt Disney World artist
in the Art of Animation Resort lobby,
teaching guests how to draw
their favorite Disney characters.
Today's how-to-draw video class is on the road
at Magic Kingdom Park, in Town Square Theater.
This is the room where you can meet Mickey Mouse
and Minnie Mouse as part
of Mickey and Minnie's Surprise Celebration.
They're letting me use the room today for this video.
Mickey and Minnie are both celebrating 90 years of magic,
and this is also the 30th anniversary
of Disney's Hollywood Studios Park, so today,
I'm going to show you how to draw Mickey Mouse
in the style you see in the new park logo.
You'll also know this Mickey look
from the Mickey Mouse TV series that started in 2013.
If you've seen my two other videos on how to draw Mickey,
we usually start by drawing a circle.
However, this one we're going to start off
by drawing a big oval, but like always,
we first start off by drawing these lines very lightly.
Follow that by drawing our axis lines and guidelines.
I'm going to draw a big curved line
that's at a slight angle for our vertical guideline.
Next, right in the middle,
sketch out our horizontal guideline.
These axis lines and guidelines put all
of Mickey's features in the right place,
so your Mickey Mouse can look like my Mickey Mouse.
With the construction shape complete,
I'm going to switch pencils and start drawing Mickey's nose.
In the bottom right quadrant of our construction shape,
we're going to start by drawing
an upside-down letter J.
Curve outside of our construction shape
and swoop on down to the bottom part
of our vertical guideline.
Don't worry, this gets easier the more you practice.
Then, on the tip of his snout,
draw another oval for his actual nose.
And now, let's work on Mickey's mouth.
Start this off by drawing a backwards
but capital letter D shape.
We're going to put this at a slight angle.
Now the curvy part of this letter D
is going to come out of our construction shape
just a little bit.
Inside the mouth, we're going to sketch out his tongue.
First draw in a little curved line
and then at the curvy part of that letter D,
we're gonna curve around down and loop it on over
right onto that first curve.
And for Mickey's jawline,
we're going to draw yet another sideways letter J.
Let's now start sketching the outline of Mickey's face.
Put a little reference dot right in the middle
of the forehead of Mickey's head.
Then draw an upside-down letter U.
Now let's draw another upside-down letter U
at the lower half of Mickey's face.
Then at the top, just draw a curved line that goes right
on over to the edge of our construction shape.
Then go ahead and trace over the edge
of our construction shape to form
the top half of Mickey's head.
So we're gonna finish up the mouth shape
by drawing a curve for the end.
That's going to be the end of Mickey's smile.
This Mickey is drawn pie-eyed.
If you look close, a piece of his eye
is like a slice of pie.
We're going to draw an upside down letter J for each eye.
Next, let's draw that slice of pie.
Sketch out that sideways letter V
and then close up the bottom half of our letter J.
Time for Mickey's ears.
Now these ears aren't perfectly round or perfectly oval.
They're more asymmetrical.
Starting with the lower ear,
we're going to put that right on the guideline.
Then for the upper ear, we're going to sit that
just to the left of the vertical guideline.
Now that we're in the home stretch, let's do the shading.
As usual, start off with the ears that we've just drawn.
Follow that with the top part of the head
and the side of the head.
Next, shade in those eyes.
You can really see that pie slice now.
Next, shade in that nose.
Then we can shade in the back half of the mouth.
As you shade along, just wanna make sure
that all the shading is fairly even
and about the same darkness, except that tongue,
which we're going to shade in ever so lightly.
And there he is, Mickey Mouse in the style
you'll see on the Disney's Hollywood Studios
30th Anniversary logo.
I've actually had a couple students
here with me in the room,
just off camera.
Minnie, that looks great!
And Mickey, I didn't even show you how to draw Minnie.
That's amazing.
Don't forget to sign your work.
And for everyone at home, keep practicing
and we'll sketch you later.
