Do you have to learn how to draw a mouse? This tutorial will show you how to do it in really easy to follow steps!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Draw a Realistic Mouse
Step 1. Draw a circle and a triangle for the head
Sketch guidelines for the muzzle.
Step 2. Draw two large circles for the ears
Now make another circle for the eye and one for the nose.
Step 3. Draw two circles
They should be roughly the same size, but overlapping towards the center.
Step 4. Make a large and a small oval for each limb
For the legs make a circle with small fingers attached.
Step 5. Draw a long thin tail
To make it more realistic, make it curve on the ground.
Step 6. Add details like whiskers and small claws
Review the mouse drawing and erase unnecessary guidelines.
Step 7. Color your drawing
Mice are usually white, gray, black or brown, but if yours is from a cartoon (like the mouse in Cinderella) you can make it other colors and even put clothes on it.
Method 2 of 3: Draw a Cartoon-style Mouse
Step 1. Draw two circles of different sizes and an oval, each overlapping the other
This will create the space in which to develop the mouse's head and body.

Step 3. Draw the tapered tail using curved lines
Draw more curved lines along the tail to indicate subdivisions.

Step 8. Color according to your preferences
Method 3 of 3: Draw a Traditional Mouse
Step 1. Draw two circles of different sizes to create the workspace
The first circle is smaller than the second.
Step 2. Draw the details for the mouse's head
Draw a triangle that extends from the circle to form the muzzle. Draw two small ovals around the head to make the ears. Draw a small circle for the eye.
Step 3. Refine the head using curved lines
Add the details for the nose and ears.
Step 4. Draw curved lines to connect the other circle, thus forming the body
Also draw the details for the paws of the mouse.
Step 5. Draw the long, tapered tail using curved lines
Step 6. Trace the outlines with a pen and erase unnecessary lines

Advice
- Stay light with the pencil so you can easily erase mistakes.
- If you want to color your drawing with markers or watercolors, use a rather thick sheet of paper and before coloring, go over the pencil strokes to darken them.
- Outlining the important parts of the mouse or object you drew is important to show that you have done a thorough job. (Especially in case you have had to change shapes or sizes.)
