How to Draw a Harvest Mouse
Draw a harvest mouse in 12 steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: round head.
Step 1: Round head
Near the top draw a big upside-down teardrop head, as big as your fist. The point is the nose.
Tip Leave room at the sides for huge ears.
Step 2: Huge round ears
On each side of the head draw a huge round ear. Add a smaller oval inside each one.
Tip Mouse ears sit on the sides, not on top.
Step 3: Nose and whiskers
At the point of the head draw a small nose. Add 2 short whiskers on each cheek, sweeping back.
Step 4: Eyes and tiny smile
Draw 2 big eyes above the whiskers, with black dots. From the nose draw a tiny smile, stopping under it.
Step 5: Wheat stalk
Draw a tall stem from the ground up past the left ear, then a wheat head with 4 spikes.
Step 6: Pear body
Start under the left cheek. Draw a pear body down and round, up to the right cheek. Add a tummy.
Step 7: Arm and leg
From the left shoulder draw a short arm to the stalk, with a paw. Draw a right leg down.
Step 8: Back feet
On the ground at each side of the body, draw a small mitten foot with 3 short toe lines.
Step 9: Long thin tail
From the body, behind the right foot, draw a long tail that gets thinner and curls up at the end.
Step 10: The ground
Draw a flat ground line under the paws, feet and tail, from past the left foot to past the tail.
Step 11: Cream tummy, pink ears
Colour the tummy cream, and the inside of the ears, the nose and the tail pink.
Step 12: Yellow wheat, ginger fur
Colour the wheat yellow, then the mouse ginger, going around the pink and cream parts. Leave the eyes white.
