With Learn to Draw Disney's Mickey Mouse and His Friends, artists-in-training can use the easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions to draw Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto.

For 90 years, Mickey Mouse has delighted and inspired generations of Disney fans. No other character, classic or contemporary, occupies a similar space in the hearts and minds of people from around the world. In this expanded edition of Walter Foster Publishing's beloved title, Learn to Draw Mickey and His Friends, young artists will enjoy learning to draw all of their favorite classic Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto, in a range of poses and with various expressions.

The book opens by introducing artists to a small selection of essential drawing tools and materials, as well as a range of options for adding color. Artists are then guided through a warm-up with some quick and easy sketching exercises before moving on to the step-by-step drawing projects. Each drawing lesson begins with a basic shape, such as a circle or an oval, with each new step building upon the previous one, eventually progressing to a finished piece of artwork. New steps are shown in blue, so young artists know exactly what to draw next. The final step is to add color to the drawing with felt-tip markers, colored pencils, watercolors, or acrylic paints.

Classic Disney story frames and tips from professional Disney artists round out this beautifully designed and illustrated full-color book destined to become an heirloom passed down to future generations.
