How to Draw Donkey from Shrek

Step 1.

 In this first step you will be drawing out the guidelines and circle shapes to create a solid frame for Donkey. Start by drawing out a circle for the top part of his head and then sketch in facial guidelines. Now draw a big oblong circle shape for his body. After you get those two shapes drawn out you can draw out all the guidelines that are all attached to each other as shown above. Don't forget to draw out every line shown.

 

Step 2.

 In this next step you will be drawing the shape of his ears, eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. Now draw out a part of his neck and the front of his leg as you see in red. After you get all the lining drawn out in this step you can move down to step 3 where Donkey will take on more shape and definition. Remember all the lines in red need to be drawn out in every step.

 

Step 3.

 See after you completed step 2, you should have a sketch that looks like the one above. Here you will be drawing in Donkey's teeth and the other front leg. On the same side of his jaw you have to sneak in a line to finish off his neck and back. After that you can draw out the shape of his stubby tail and a part of his hind leg.

 

Step 4.

 This is the last step. You will be detailing and defining the rest of Donkey as you can tell. What you want to do next is draw in the inner lining of his ears and give him some pupils. After that shade in the inside of his mouth and draw out the other hind leg as shown. You can erase all the guidelines and shapes you drew in step one to clean up your sketch and to prepare it for coloring.

 

Step 5.

 Here you are Donkey. You are done that is it. How easy was that to do? Simple that's how. Now all you have to do to him now is color him in his grayish brown color and put him along side of Shrek. That does it for another tutorial on a character from the Shrek film. How to draw Donkey was an easy tutorial to accomplish I think.
