How to draw baby Yoda

We just could not get past this, in fact. The entire Internet is full of jokes and memes about little Yoda. Actually this guy is not even Yoda. This is a representative of the same race whom we saw in the series about the Mandalorian. Nevertheless, it is insanely popular, and that is why we created a guide on how to draw baby Yoda.

Step 1

First, we will draw approximate contours of the head and torso of our star baby. The head is very large, as you can see. The width and length of the head significantly exceed the size of the body. By the way, this is a pretty sure way to draw a baby.

You can see roughly the same proportions in the lesson about drawing a human child.

Step 2

Now we outline the contours of two almond-shaped eyes. Eyes should be very large, pay attention to this. The lower edge of the eyes should approximately coincide with the lower 1/3 of the face.

Step 3

Add a small nose and mouth. The nose should be higher than the lower edge of the eyes. The mouth consists of three lines with a smooth bend.

Step 4

What else is noteworthy in the figure and proportions of our character? Of course these are ears. Our hero has huge pointed ears that are located almost horizontally. Please note that the true Master Yoda has smaller ears.

Step 5

This guy has really huge ears. Let’s work with this feature to make the little alien more realistic. In this step we will depict the auricles. Do not forget about a couple of vertical strokes on each side

Step 6

In this step we apply wrinkles and skin folds. As you can see, this is not a sign of old age. So, first we draw circles above and below the eyes. After that, we draw three vertical wrinkles between the eyes that look like the pattern of the Spider-Man mask. Then we add horizontal wavy lines to the forehead. At the end of the lesson, we draw small but important lines above the nose and mouth.

Step 7

Now we outline the contours of the warm collar. Also, in this step we outline a couple of vertical lines on the body of our character.

Step 8

Let’s finish the basic body contours. To do this, we need to outline the contours of the sleeves that are trimmed with warm fur on the distal parts.

Step 9

Remember the paws of Master Yoda? By the way, he was the greatest Jedi who masterfully owned a lightsaber. In this step we will draw the same paws with small sharp nails.

Step 10

Let’s look at our baby Yoda. We will evaluate the correct proportions and individual details. If you do not see distortions or inaccuracies, you can safely erase excess guide lines and proceed to the final steps.

Step 11

Let’s apply some shadows. You can see the shadows inside the ears of our little Yoda, under his collar and quite a bit on his face. Large shadows are best applied in two steps. First, we draw the outline of the shadow and then cover it with light shading. Very small shadows can be drawn without an outline.

This is the final result of our work. We hope your little Yoda looks even cooler.
