The process of depicting pets often does not cause any particular difficulties for adults, but not everyone can draw small rodents correctly, and, in particular, mice.
The process of creating a mouse can be divided into four stages, so it will be significantly to determine the desired proportions of the rodent and it is easy to draw the eyes, nose and antennae, as well as depict the limbs.
In order to quickly and easily draw a mouse, you should initially outline the contours of the head and torso, then you can gradually depict the details of the muzzle, clearly draw the coat and tail.
For preschool children, this procedure will seem very funny, because drawing a mouse along the initially outlined contours is not at all difficult.
When creating a drawing with children, you don’t need too much stationery, it’s quite possible to get by with an ordinary pencil, as well as an eraser. The extra lines drawn at the beginning of the drawing can be erased in stages, gradually drawing the details of a small rodent on paper.
So, we draw a mouse with an ordinary pencil in stages with the children.
Drawing process
- At the first stage, we draw an oblong oval on the left side of the sheet, a little closer to the middle, in the future it will be the head of a rodent.
Next, we begin to draw the torso with a pencil, draw a large oval that will cross the middle of the first one - the blank for the torso is ready. With a thin, slightly twisted line from the middle of the larger oval, we depict the tail.
- Now we start drawing the details of the muzzle. We draw small ears in the upper part of the head, outline the location of the eye, outline the area for the nose and antennae.
Now we move on to the image of the front, as well as the hind limbs, instead of the legs, while drawing small ovals. We determine the desired thickness of the tail, draw another oblong line for the accuracy of the outline of the tail of the rodent.
- Next, draw the nose along with the antennae, give clarity to the eye, drawing the boundaries of the iris. We draw fine wool along the perimeter of the head and the entire body, do not forget to highlight the outlines of the left forelimb.
You can move on to a clearer image of the forelimbs, as well as the hind limbs, there should be four fingers on each paw.
- Gently erase unnecessary lines with an eraser, draw an eye with a pencil, outline the eyebrows, give clarity to the lower part of the muzzle by adding additional details.
We shade the muzzle along with the body with thin lines, thus depicting the growth of wool. Slightly shade the paws, erase the remaining lines outside the boundaries of the resulting sketch.
In order to make the drawing look more realistic, you can draw a muzzle, as well as a torso with a gray pencil. Children can do the drawing of the sketch, now the drawing of a small rodent is completely ready.
You can also draw a mouse in another way, based on the Disney cartoon "Tom and Jerry". Such a drawing is easy to create if you depict all the details in stages. Thanks to the joint efforts of adults and children, a cheerful and funny cartoon character will quickly come to life on a piece of paper.
It is quite possible to create your own variation of a drawing on a given topic, based on the basics of the image of small rodents. Dream up with the child, and then choose the option that the baby will like the most.
It is not so difficult to depict a mouse, because the key to an excellent drawing is a well-thought-out, outlined blank, in the future it will help to draw the details, maintain the necessary proportions.
Draw with the children, it's fun and also exciting, thanks to the help of parents, the child will quickly remember all the stages of creating a mouse and in the future will be able to reproduce the figures of small rodents on paper on their own without any help from adults.
This lesson is for rodent lovers. Let's draw a mouse.
What do we know about mice?
- The appearance of a gray fur creature near the weaker sex within a radius of 25 meters entails a powerful ultrasound lasting at least 5 minutes;
- Male homosapiens can catch this fur organism, put it in a three-liter jar and in every possible way provoke the birth of the above sound;

- If your number one favorite is or, then a mouse is unlikely to become a number two favorite. Although, if laser ... But even it must be kept in the reach of cat teeth.
- The mouse eats cheese. Where such passion originated is a mystery. I'm not sure that in nature every little gray trunk has a personal chef for making cheeses.
- There are several instances of talking humanoid mice: Jerry, Motya and Mitya. In view of the fact that you might not recognize your countrymen, I’ll clarify: Motya and Mitya are the same mice who lived together with the cat Leopold.
So, enough distraction. I show how to draw a mouse with a pencil.
How to draw a mouse with a pencil
Step One In the center of the sheet, outline the torso of our gray girlfriend. It is large and round. Now the head. It is elongated and pointed. You need to start drawing it almost from the middle of the body. And now the tail: it is long, long and twisted. So far, only its axis. 
Step Two Let's start with the tail. We already have an axle. The second parallel line will give us the thickness. Draw ears, an eye and a nose to the muzzle. Let's show paws. 
Step Three We will “down” our fly along the contour of the torso and face. Small-small strokes draw the hair on her body. But at the nose - a long mustache sticking out in different directions. We will circle the non-hairy details, make them smoother. Let's draw the fingers on the paws. 
Step Four The whole body of the mouse is covered with a woolen coat. In order to depict it, we draw lines along the entire body, including along the head. We need to make the eye completely dark, black. On the nose - a lot of dark dots. Shade the paws. 
Here is your mouse. This is an easy drawing. I'm sure it won't be hard for anyone. draw a mouse with a pencil. And I recommend you try it.
In this article we will learn how to draw a mouse. We will start with simple examples that are great for children, and then we will gradually move on to more complex ways of drawing.
The easiest way to draw
In the first example, we will analyze how to draw a mouse for young children. She is very cute, very easy to draw on paper and does not take much time to draw.
So, our mouse will stand on its hind legs and have a simple body shape. We draw a large oval, and in its lower part a small oval, which will be the stomach. From above we will draw two circles, they will be the ears of our raw foodist.
At the height of the upper side of the abdomen, draw small paws sticking out in different directions. From below, we will also add the paws on which she stands.
Now we are working on the muzzle. Two black eyes and an oval nose, from under which a mouth and teeth stick out. Let's finish the ears by drawing circles in them.
On the right side, draw a thin tail.
Now we take a felt-tip pen and circle all the lines that we drew with a pencil.
We take colored pencils. The entire body of the mouse can be shaded with an ordinary pencil, not pressing hard on it, and the belly with a darker one, for example, black. Paint the inside of the ears pink.
Draw in 4 steps
This time we will learn how to draw a mouse step by step in just 4 steps. This drawing method will be a little more complicated than the previous one, but still remains quite simple.
In the first step, we will sketch. To do this, draw the contours of the head with a sharp tip, on which there will be a nose, two even circles on top and a crumpled oval, which will be the torso.
Now we need to detail all the limbs of our character. We work on the front, hind legs and tail.
We give the figures a more mouse-like appearance, namely, we add wool to the leg, draw fingers on all paws, and also draw a muzzle.
At the final stage, we need to erase all the auxiliary lines and our drawing will be ready.
Mouse with cheese
And thanks to this drawing method, we can understand how to draw a mouse with a pencil. This time she will not be empty-handed, she will be holding the cheese she found somewhere.
Let's start by drawing the head and then move on to the rest of the parts. The head has a fairly simple shape that is easy to repeat. At the tip we depict a black nose, it can be made in general of any shape. Draw a smile under two black eyes.
We paint on the ears. One ear should be much larger than the other, because it is closer to us.
Now add small front paws, they will hold a triangular piece of cheese. On the other hand, draw the line of the back.
The lower legs should be much larger than the front ones, because they take on the main load when moving. As with the ears, the leg closest to us will be larger than the farthest.
Add a long tail and our drawing is ready.
Mouse lying down
If the previous mice stood on their hind legs, then in this example we will show you how to draw a lying mouse with a pencil. This drawing method is perfect for adults and children.
Although this example is shown sideways, it is more complex than the previous ones, but you should still get by.
So, first we need to draw a circle, it will be the tip of the nose. From the circle we draw a strip diagonally upwards, on the edge of which two ears will grow.
The smooth line of the contour of the back gradually bends to form the beginning of the leg.
We connect the left and right parts of the picture. We draw the mouth with a regular strip, then we depict the front long paw and the back short one.
The final touch will be painting the nose black, leaving white space for highlights, adding antennae, eyes with highlights and a long tail.
Another mouse in a horizontal position
The last example on how to draw a mouse step by step in this article is not too different from the previous one. However, the way of drawing is a little different and it may seem easier and more convenient to someone.
The first step is perhaps the most unusual in this example. We are painting both the back and the front at the same time. Take a look at the picture below and you will immediately understand everything. And if you don’t really understand how to draw it, then you can skip a couple of steps and start drawing, for example, from the third picture.
Having painted on the ears, we will plug the hole formed with them and connect the left and right parts.
One of the hind legs will not be visible, because the mouse is sideways to us, so we draw three legs.
Add a long tail, which should gradually taper towards the tip.
Well, the final step will be coloring our little mouse.
How to draw a mouse?
Mice have long conquered the cartoon industry. The artists carefully worked out the images of Mickey Mouse, Jerry, Moti and Mitya mice (heroes of the cartoon about the cat Leopold). But, despite the fabulous appearance of these characters, their prototype was the most common field mouse. She will be talked about.
How to draw a mouse: instruction
- We make a sketch. In the very center of the leaf, we outline the body of the animal: draw a large oval.
- From the middle of the body we draw another smaller oval with a pointed corner. This is the head of a mouse.
- From the end of the torso we will stretch the tail of the mouse: a long twisted line.
- We complete the tail: we stretch the second line along the intended one. It must run in parallel. The tail is thicker now.
- Draw two ears on the outer line of the mouse's head. Inside - one eye (our mouse turned its head to the side) and a nose (we cut off the pointed side of the oval with a pencil).
- Let's outline the paws: we will add three small ovals to the body. One is near the tail, the other two are near the muzzle.
- Let's draw the fur for the mouse: shade the contours of the torso and head with small lines. We do not touch the ears: we will simply circle them additionally.
- Let's draw a mustache to him.
- On the intended paws we will bring out the fingers.
- We continue to draw a fur coat: draw lines along the body and head.
- It is necessary to draw a muzzle of a mouse. Completely paint over the eye with black. On the nose, draw a lot of points "under the mustache".
- We shade the paws.
Now you know how to draw a mouse step by step. You can not only draw a mouse. You can become it - with the help of the art of face painting.
How to draw a mouse on the face
For creativity you will need:
- special face paints;
- several brushes;
- natural sponges;
- mirror;
- water;
- makeup base;
- several shades of shadows;
- one blush;
- towels (preferably paper);
- one soap.
Before work, make sure that the makeup is water-based (it will be easy to wash off with water), and paints do not cause an allergic reaction. To do this, smear a small area of skin on your arm with a dye. If there is no redness, the product is suitable. Prepare a soapy solution. They can wash make-up materials.
Let's apply a base pattern to the face. We begin to apply makeup: we go from the upper part of the face, without lubricating the drawing. Shade the eyebrows so as to create the desired facial expression. Moisten a small bar of soap with water and rub your eyebrows, moving one hair up and down the other. When the eyebrows are dry, cover them with a make-up base. It is applied with a finger or sponge. We apply the foundation on the cheekbones, cheeks, forehead and chin. Take your eyes up and cover the base of the skin under the eyes with patting movements.
Apply eyeshadow with a brush. Draw eyebrows with a brush or pencil. Using a cotton swab, cover the cheeks with blush (direction - to the nose). Draw a dot on the tip of the nose. Further from the wings draw a horizontal line through this point. Part of the nose under it is covered with black. Draw a black line along the hollow to the upper lip. We cover the lips with foundation, draw a thin line above the top. Draw two wide white stripes across the lips - these are mouse teeth. Draw the antennae with a thin brush.
When he is bored, he can easily solve it with the help of drawing. And since it is easiest to draw a mouse, then this option should be offered to the baby. To simplify the task, it is important to present a master class to an inexperienced artist, where a detailed description of the entire process is given.
Master class "How to draw a mouse"
1. Begin the drawing process with the eye. To do this, first a circle is drawn, and in it is another one, but of a smaller size, which is painted over.
2. Now a sinuous forehead line is drawn above the eye.
3. It is better to make the nose of the mouse sharp, on its tip draw an oval “peep”, also painted over.
4. The mouth can be made with a slightly protruding lower lip, if possible. But if it will be difficult for the baby to cope with this task, you can simply make an even chin by placing a smile on it - a small arc.
5. Since it is impossible to draw a mouse without ears, since each mammal has hearing organs on its head, we will draw huge circles with a fold inside. In fact, mice do not have such large ears, but it is somehow customary in children's art to portray these rodents as big-eared - they become cuter.
6. The back of the mouse begins immediately after the ears. Draw it round. But under the chin they make a small depression - the neck. The guide of the front foot should move forward from it.
7. Before you draw a mouse, you should determine its main distinguishing features. Of course, every child will confidently declare that this is a long moving tail! Therefore, from the end point of the back, two long winding lines are drawn, passing next to each other and converging at the end point. This will be the famous mouse tail.
8. At this stage, the line of the tummy is also drawn in an arc and the guide of the hind leg is drawn up.
9. The last stage of drawing is the image of the paws. It should be explained to the child that the mouse has five fingers on its paws.
Master class "How to draw a mouse" (step by step for the smallest)
Very often, when teaching drawing to children of primary preschool age, adults use the simplest geometric shapes, for example, circles. This image method can be traced in this master class.
1. Since it was decided to draw a mouse for children using circles, you must first draw a circle-head.
2. In the upper part, this circle should be in contact with two others, slightly smaller in size - the ears.
3. Inside the larger circle in its upper part, draw two more small ones - these will be the eyes of the mouse.
4. Inside the ears, one more circle of a smaller size is depicted with centers shifted downwards. And inside the eyes there should be circles shifted in the direction where the character’s gaze will be directed. These are pupils.
5. In the pupils, reflections are depicted with the help of small circles. In the same place, in a large circle, you should draw a mouth, shaped like a slice of an orange.
6. It is appropriate to make a strip on one side of the mouth, which will help shade the depth.
7. Now the last stage of drawing remains - coloring. The pupil of the mouse must be made black, leaving the smallest inner circle unpainted - a reflection. Do the same with the mouth.
9. The rest of the muzzle is usually made gray - it’s not without reason that the phrase “gray mouse” is often used in speech. Although there are absolutely white mice in the world, and this can be reported to the little man while drawing.
