Getting Started
Drawing characters from Toy Story is a great way to act out your childhood fantasies and have your own Woody, Buzz, and Bo Peep right in your living room! If you are a novice artist, don’t worry, Toy Story characters are easy enough to draw for even the biggest beginner. All it takes is some practice, the right supplies, and a great deal of enthusiasm from you!
Gather Your Supplies
First, you will want to make sure that you have all the materials needed to get started. You will only need basic supplies like paper and a pencil, a pen, and some colored pencils or markers if you’d like to add some color. Additionally, you will want to make sure you have an image of the Toy Story character you are interested in drawing.
Practice Makes Perfect
Before you start to draw your desired character, it’s essential to practice drawing the basic shape of the person or object. Take a look at a reference drawing or a still shot from the movie, and attempt to recreate the shape. To do this, try to focus on connecting the lines of the body to form basic figures, circles, or boxes. It’s much easier to draw something complicated when you start with the basics.
Outline Your Figure
The next step is to begin the outlining of your figure. You will want to draw the primary outlines of the body, as well as anything that could be classified as a prop. Make sure you focus on the details. You should also be sure to think about the perspective of the piece you are creating. All elements should be drawing from the same point of view, which is usually referred to as a single point perspective.
Fill In Your Work
Once you are satisfied with your outline, it’s time to begin shading and filling in your drawing. If you are using colored pencils, they should blend together seamlessly, while markers can create a more vibrant piece. If you are looking to add detail to your artwork, you may also want to consider sketching in items like facial features, buttons, and straps. Be sure to use shading to bring the image to life.
Embrace Your Imagination
When you are finished with your drawing, be sure to look it over to make sure all the details are accounted for. If there is anything missing or something does not look quite right, take the time to adjust it. Remember, art is all about embracing your imagination and reviving your childhood memories. So be sure to let your artistic capabilities take charge and create a masterpiece with your Toy Story drawing!
