If you’ve ever wanted to draw fan-favorite Jedi Master Yoda, you’ve come to the right place! Drawing Yoda from Star Wars is super easy. Whether you’re a budding artist or a complete beginner, this Yoda drawing tutorial will show you exactly what to do. In minutes, you’ll be sketching the lovable green Jedi with ease. Let’s get started with your Yoda drawing.
First, capture Yoda’s distinctive shape. Start by drawing two circles, one slightly larger than the other. The smaller circle (about the size of a penny) will become Yoda’s head while the larger circle (about the size of a quarter) will be his body. Add a few curved lines like mountains and an S+ shape to create the Yoda’s neck and backbone.
Next, draw Yoda’s iconic ears. Add two curved lines at the top of Yoda’s head for his ears and a curved line for his chin. Then, draw Yoda’s eyes. Draw two circles just above the nose and two small circles just below it. Add two lines at either side of Yoda’s eyes.
Now it’s time to amp up the detail. Outline Yoda’s wrinkles, wrinkles, wrinkles! Draw small spikes of hair cascading down from his forehead. Add two small curved lines on either side of Yoda’s nose and one large curved line to define the top of his mouth. Lastly, add two small curved lines to add depth to his eyes and make them appear more expressive.
Ahhh, Yoda is really starting to take shape! All that’s left to do is add some shading and color. To do so, use darker and lighter hues of green to create light and shadow. For example, use lighter green for highlights and darker green for shadows. Don’t forget to add a few white highlights for extra sparkle!
Now, top off your illustration with Yoda’s brown robe. To draw Yoda’s robe, begin at the neckline and draw a slightly curved shape downwards. Then, draw two curves of the same length and join them together at the end, creating a bell-like shape. Finally, draw two lines at either side of the robe, creating a sleeveless look.
Et voila! Drawing Yoda has never been easier. With just a few simple steps, you’ve created your own magical rendition of the beloved Jedi Master. Share your artwork with us on social media, and don’t forget to use the hashtag #Yodapic.

Now that you have the basic shape done, you can start adding personality to Yoda. Create his signature smile with a downturned curve at the corners of his mouth. Then, draw a few pointy lines and dots inside the smile to make Yoda’s wrinkles look more defined. You can also draw two large eyes, curved eyebrows and wispy white hair for added charm.
To capture Yoda’s look, draw a few lines within the body shape and add triangular shapes to the lower part of his face. Finally, add a few tiny lines around Yoda’s ears and give him a few dainty whiskers. Once you’re done, you’ve created your very own Yoda masterpiece!
To make your drawing stand out, you can use different colors for Yoda’s skin and robe. Use an array of deep greens for his skin with yellow and pink highlights to make him look extra vibrant. For the robe, opt for a combination of browns and grays with light blue hues. Add a few white highlights along the edges to make the robe appear more textured.
Finally, give Yoda the perfect background. Draw a peaceful courtyard or garden filled with lush green trees and colorful flowers. You can even draw him sitting on a rock or standing among some trees. With these optional touches, you’ve just made your Yoda drawing shine!
