Here you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Minion Tutorial Video and a Minion Coloring Page. They are from the Despicable Me franchise.
Minion Drawing
Instead of providing coloring pages of your student’s favorite cartoons, why not have them make their own? Even very simple projects, like this How to draw a Minion tutorial, will give them some good basic drawing practice. Minions are made from large easy shapes, so even beginner artists can draw a character just like the ones they see in their popular Minion movies.
Once students feel comfortable drawing this guy as shown here, they can make more versions with different poses, and doing different things. Every future cartoon artist has to start somewhere!
Getting Started with Drawing Guides
The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point.
You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, in both horizontal and vertical directions. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow.
Drawing skills are all about getting the size and placement of lines on paper, so having some visual reference point to get started, will always help anyone learn how to be a little more accurate.
