How to Draw a Minion

Today I have prepared for you an interesting step-by-step lesson in which you will learn how to draw a Minion.

In this drawing lesson, I would like to tell you and show you how to draw a Minion step by step. I think that many of you know this character very well. Minions are the main characters of the cartoon “Minions”.

These characters are represented as small yellow creatures. The Minions in the cartoon look different, have different heights, and each of them has a name. It is also indicated that the Minions have three fingers on their hands.

In this lesson, you will first draw the contours of the torso and limbs of the Minion, then his costume and facial features.
