How to draw Yoshi with this how-to video and step-by-step drawing instructions. Easy animals to draw for beginners and kids.
Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
For this beginning Yoshi drawing tutorial, we will focus on his big round snout. To do this, you will start by drawing a smaller curve for the upper part of the face.
Then you would use a much larger circle for the front of its muzzle. Remember to add a small line at the end of the snout line to create a smiling mouth.
That may sound confusing, but you’ll see what we mean when you look at the reference image. Once you’ve drawn this part of the face, you’re ready for step 2!
Step 2
Draw the rest of Yoshi’s head
We will add the rest of Yoshi’s face in your Yoshi drawing step. You can use two upward curves from his muzzle for the top of his head as shown in the reference image.
The top of this head will then extend down to form the left part of the head. Finally, you can end up with a small curve for his chin.
Step 3
Now, draw the body for Yoshi
This step in our tutorial on how to draw Yoshi looks a bit complicated, but it doesn’t have to be if you take it slowly and follow the reference guide closely.
His body is very round and it is thin at the top, where his neck joins his head. You can then use some curves for the shell on his back, then draw his arms and hands on the side of his body.
He will also have a pointed tail, and then you can finally draw his legs and big shoes.
It seems like a lot, but if you focus on each element one at a time and keep a close eye on the reference image you will do it!
Step 4
Add some details for Yoshi in this step
In this part of Yoshi’s drawing, you will draw some simple details all over his body. These will include some circles for his eyes.
His eyes were joined with no gap, almost as if they were one large eye. You can then draw three round scales on the back of his head.
Finally for this step, you just need to draw a line above the sole to make the sole.
Step 5
Now you can add some details and final touch
This step of our Yoshi drawing tutorial will help you add final elements to the drawing while also adding some final details.
First, you can draw the other arm out of his belly. Then complete his eyes by drawing two ovals in his eye contour.
You can then finalize the details with a few lines around his body. The two lines on his snout will make his nostrils complete his face.
That will do for the details we want to add, but feel free to add any details of your own that you might want to your image!
Maybe you could add some details to Yoshi to make him look like he did in your favorite game he’s in.
Or maybe you could draw a background to represent a memorable level you used to play as Yoshi.
There are many ways you can get creative with it and we can’t wait to see what you can do!
Step 6
Finish your Yoshi drawing with some colors
Now that your Yoshi painting is done, all that’s left is to give it some nice color.
