Instructions
Drawing Max, the beloved canine companion of The Grinch in the classic Dr. Seuss tale, doesn’t have to be daunting or overwhelming. It takes a few supplies, some patience, and the right know-how, and you can quickly become an expert in drawing Max with ease. Let’s dive in and explore How To Draw Max From The Grinch.
The Basics
To start, you’ll need to grab your essential drawing supplies. A couple of pencils, a couple of erasers, a pencil sharpener and a small sketchbook or a large piece of paper, and you’re good to go. Then, start with these basic steps to create Max. To begin, simply draw two circles that overlap, this will create Max’s head and nose. His ears come next, draw two triangular shapes to represent Max’s large, pointed ears. When drawing Max, start with curves and lines that frame out the basic shape of his furry figure. Then, fill in with details such as eyes, fur, and a simple smile and tail. Add some highlights and extra little touches around the details and curves, and you have a Max drawing in no time!
Go Bigger
If you’re feeling ready to take on a bolder challenge, try drawing larger versions of Max. Find a large piece of paper, like a poster board. Using a thicker, darker pencil, focus on the thick details, like Max’s ears and body. Make sure to target specifics such as the curvature of the eyebrows, the thickness of the hair, and the angles of the eyes and ears. You can use lighter details such as the whites of the eyes for contrast, or get even more detailed, adding Max’s blushing cheeks and his two eyebrows. Once you’re done, you can mount a large poster of Max on your wall proudly.
Color It In
After you pretty much have the drawing down, you can then fill it in with color! Whether you choose to use a huge palette of markers, crayons, or paints, you can bring Max to life. When using color, you can add in lots of little details, such as his eyes and his fur. With lighter colors, you can give your Max extra texture, adding in different layers of depth and shade. Just have fun, and let your creative juices flow!
Keep Practicing
If you don’t feel like your Max drawing looks perfect just yet, don’t give up. The key to perfecting your drawing of Max lies in practice and repetition. Feel free to draw and redraw until you get the results you want. You can even come back to your work and make adjustments after some time has passed. Even the simplest changes can make a big difference in the overall look and feel of your drawing. Keep on practicing, and you’ll become an expert soon!
