- Hi everyone, I'm Stephen.
I'm one of the artists here
at Disney's Art of Animation Resort in Florida.
Seven days a week here in the resort lobby,
an artist like me teaches you how to draw some
of your favorite Disney and Pixar characters.
Anyone can draw,
you don't even need to be staying here at the resort.
With Valentine's Day coming up,
I thought we'd draw a romantic couple today.
It's a story about a lonely robot who discovers love
across the universe.
How 'bout we draw WALL-E and EVE.
The first thing we do is draw the construction shapes
for both WALL-E and EVE
before we start establishing the detail lines.
The reason we do that is so we can establish
the correct size, spacing,
and overall shape of each character.
Let's start with EVE.
So we're going to draw a big oval for her head.
Follow that with a guideline for her face,
one that's going to go up and down in a slight curve.
Followed by a big horizontal guideline
which will also be at a curve.
So let's draw a secondary oval inside the larger oval
and this will be the outline of EVE's face.
As you can see, the inner oval is touching the edge
of the larger oval.
Next, let's do the rough outline of EVE's body.
I'm going to draw a big curve that swoops on down
on the left side,
followed by a similar curve...
(gentle music)
on the right side.
EVE is roughed in, let's move on to WALL-E.
We'll start off with three vertical lines.
(gentle music)
So now, from there, we're gonna draw a diamond shape on top
or if it's easier, you can draw the diamond shape first,
followed by those three straight lines.
That's the rough outline of his body.
Now let's work on his eyes.
That's two really skinny eggs,
one right next to the other one.
We're gonna draw a diagonal line across the top of each egg
to help give WALL-E that iconic look.
We're gonna add more depth to WALL-E's eyes
by just drawing straight lines on back.
A little 3-D effect.
Now go ahead and curve on up...
(gentle music)
and back on over to follow that diagonal line at the top.
Let's draw the part of his head behind his eyes.
So yet again, draw two lines that come straight on back
and we're also going to
follow the same curve pattern as the eyes
and curve on up
and cut on over with a diagonal line.
WALL-E's head is kind of floating up in the air,
so let's attach it to the body by putting in his neck.
Start off by drawing two parallel lines
that come on down...
and then back on in from there.
But in the middle of the neck WALL-E has a hinge.
To draw the hinge, simply draw two lines across.
Draw a curve on each end.
That one's more of an oval.
With the construction shapes now complete,
I'm gonna switch pencils
and we're gonna start defining the line work.
Just like before, let's start with EVE.
I'm starting by filling out the curve
of her overall head shape
and just cleaning that shape up.
Not that different, just more clearly defined.
Now we'll outline the inner circle.
Inside the inner circle, go her eyes.
Her eyes are simply two shallow curves for the bottom
with two deep curves on the top.
And I'll just fill those in a little bit.
And now on to the details of EVE's body.
EVE's body is wider at the top
and more narrow at the bottom.
Her arm is fairly simple.
So let's just sketch out,
kind of like an upside down letter U.
Above her arm, let's sketch out an upside down letter J.
That forms up her arm socket.
Next draw a big curved line beneath her head,
just to add a little bit more dimension.
We have a little bit more work left to do with EVE,
but for now let's switch over to WALL-E.
We're going to start with WALL-E's eyes
and define those big half egg shapes
that we'd drawn earlier.
You can trace over those lines and clean 'em up.
Let's now draw the same shape, just a little bit smaller
on the inside in order to add some depth.
For the lenses of WALL-E's eyes,
let's draw in two skinny ovals.
Again, add a secondary inner oval to add more depth
and character to WALL-E's lenses
and to make 'em more shiny, let's add some highlight marks.
First sketch out an oval
on the upper left-hand corner of the lenses
and add a small curve at the bottom
and thicken that up
with maybe another secondary circle right next to it.
Now let's actually define everything
that's behind the lenses.
So go ahead and thicken those up
as you draw the same shape of the lenses
and push those on back.
And a couple lines to help play up the edges.
So now that we got the head done,
let's jump down to WALL-E's neck.
And again, we're going to define
and refine the construction lines.
(gentle music)
From here we're going to fill in the details
of WALL-E's body.
In order to add more dimension to that diamond shape,
let's draw in a couple lines that go on up
and then continue on with the diamond shape.
I'm going to next draw one more diamond shape
and this is where WALL-E's neck is going to attach
to the inside of WALL-E's body.
Let's define those three lines that come on down
from the top diamond shape.
WALL-E has a panel with buttons on it,
right in the front of him,
so let's draw that.
I'm going to draw a line
that goes from side-to-side in the front,
as we'll as three vertical lines above that.
Then we add a couple little circles
and maybe a little vent as well,
by drawing three simple straight lines.
Follow that with a little square
beneath those three vent lines.
This little body line shape
actually resembles kind of like a sideways
and backwards letter L.
And three quick little lines complete EVE's arm
which is right behind WALL-E's body.
With a little shading, our couple will almost be done.
Start off by shading in
WALL-E's lenses.
Be sure to shade in just lightly.
You don't want to press too hard.
Followed by shading in the area that's around WALL-E's neck.
For EVE, let's shade in her face.
And that leaves her eyes nice and bright.
To really show our couples in love,
let's add a spark.
The easiest way to draw this spark
is to draw a zig-zagged heart shape.
And from there, simply draw a couple zig-zags
that go to each character.
And one last final thing,
you have to sign your work.
And there they are,
Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class, WALL-E for short
and Extra-terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator,
also knows as EVE.
Happy Valentine's Day and sketch ya later!
