Draw Dumbo

Dumbo is an elephant who learns to use his big ears to his advantage in Disney's Dumbo with the help of a cricket. He has big ears and a big heart to go with it. Learn to draw him with these easy steps!

Steps

  1. Draw his head. Sketch a curvy trapezoid (as shown) and add guidelines for facial features.
  2. Draw two curves for his eyebrows and add ovals for his eyes, don't forget his eyelashes. Draw smaller ovals for the pupils
  3. Draw his trunk. Draw two curved lines that approach each other as you get farther away from his face. Don't make it too long, then add two small circles at the end and don't forget to give him a smile!
  4. Draw a large oval for his body. This should be just a bit bigger than his head. Add ovals for the legs and squares for the feet. Give him a little tail.
  5. For his large ears, draw a shape like that of butterfly wings. These should be almost as big as his body.
  6. Add details, outline, and color him in! Use grey for his body and pastels for his ears and eyes (light colors since he's only a baby elephant).



Tips

  • Dumbo is constantly teased for his ears, yet retains his good spirits throughout the movie; this should be evident in his expression and position. His ears are spread out openly, excitedly, with his trunk outstretched. Make sure to convey his optimistic attitude using every element of his appearance possible.
  • Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
