Molly Wright ENGL 2311 Pennie Boyett Description of the Audience for This Activity These instructions are achievable for people of all ages who have basic drawing skills and an interest in learning how to draw Minnie Mouse. By basic drawing skills, I mean that readers should know how to draw a basic shape, such as a circle. However, by no means do you need to be an expert at drawing to accomplish this activity. You will need limited supplies to create this fun and easy drawing of Minnie, which makes it even more appealing to take on. “How to Draw Minnie Mouse” can be used as a fun and entertaining way to bring out the creative and artistic side of kids, teenagers, and adults. ________________________________________ How to Draw Minnie …show more content…
Mouse Equipment and Supplies: • Pencil • Eraser • Paper • Any type of coloring utensils for example: markers, colored pencils, crayons Helpful Tip- In the beginning stages, don’t press down too hard with your pencil.
You’ll want to use light, smooth strokes for sketching so that the extra lines can be easily erased. Step 1: • Draw a circle near the bottom of the page. Be careful not to draw it too big because you will need room to draw Minnie Mouse’s big round ears and bow! Step 2: • Then draw two intersecting lines through the middle of the circle. When drawing the lines, bend them a bit so that they follow the contour shape of a sphere. These two lines are construction lines that will help you place Minnie’s features later on. Step 3: • Slightly below where the two lines intersect, draw a small oval. This will be Minnie Mouse’s nose. Step 4: • Draw two long curves (or humps) on top of the horizontal line but in between each side of the vertical line that you drew from step 2. These will be Minnie Mouse’s eyes. Draw the eye on the left a tiny bit smaller and have it grazing the vertical line to give it more of a perspective look. Step 5: • Below Minnie’s nose, draw a wide, skinny line curving it upward. Directly below that line, draw a smaller wide, skinny curved line so that it resembles the letter U. The bottom of this curve should graze the bottom of the main circle you drew in step 1. This will be Minnie Mouse’s
mouth. Step 6: • Draw a guide for Minnie’s bow by drawing a triangle with rounded corners that sits on top of the main circle to the right of the vertical line from step 2. To the left of this triangle, draw a curve that resembles the letter C for the knot in the bow. To the left of the knot, draw another triangle with rounded corners similar to the first one you drew. Step 7: • Minnie Mouse’s ears hide behind her bow, so you just need to draw the part that is visible. On both sides of Minnie’s head, draw a curved line that starts at the side of the bow and ends on top of her head. Step 8: • Congratulations! You now have a basic Minnie Mouse shape. Now go in and tighten your drawing, leaving the lines from step 2 the alone. From this point on, press harder with your pencil in order to get darker lines and a more defined sketch. Step 9: • Darken in the shape of Minnie’s nose. Then draw her muzzle as a downward, curved line above her nose and right on top of the horizontal line made in step 2. Step 10: • Darken the shape of her eyes. Inside each of her eyes, draw a long oval for her pupils. Shade in the ovals, leaving a small circle close to the top blank to represent a glare. On top of each eye, draw the curved lines for Minnie’s eyelashes. Step 11: • Tighten the shape of Minnie Mouse’s mouth by darkening it and adding two curved lines facing downward at each end for smile lines. Draw another curved line pointing upward below the smile for her lower lip. Inside her mouth draw two curved lines for her tongue. Step 12: • Using the sketch of the bow as a guide, tighten the shape of the bow by drawing lines throughout it to indicate the folds and wrinkles of the cloth (see picture for reference). Step 13: • This step is optional. If you’d like, you can draw small circles all over the bow to give Minnie her classic red polka dot bow. You can also leave her bow blank. The choice is yours. Step 14: • Finish the drawing of Minnie Mouse by giving her a “mask,” which is a series of lines that wrap around her face to create her cheeks and connect to her lower lip. Add a point by drawing a V shape above her eyes right below the bow. Now darken the outline of her ears and the rest of her head. Step 15: • Draw over the final sketch lines with a pen or marker. Wait for the ink to dry and then get rid of every pencil mark with an eraser. You can now either leave Minnie how she is or color her however you like. You now have a fantastic drawing of Minnie Mouse!
Margret Rey and husband H.A. Rey are well known for their writing and illustrating the Curious George books. This paper is going to look at the way H. A. and Margret Rey and Beatrix Potter as authors and illustrators use images to express their feelings through these characters. H. A. and Margret Rey's Opposites, and Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Peter Rabbit will be compared and contrasted.
Graeme Base uses lines of different thicknesses to make the drawing look more realistic. He also uses different tones of colours. An example would be from ‘Six Slithering Snakes Sliding Silently Southward’, the main snake’s body and tail contains at least four different colours. He also repeats the way the books are place in the library.
The final shape to explain is a purple, shaded blob representing Paul, Tangerine’s main character. Paul’s shape is a purple hue to portray his nervous personality. His blobish form displays him as an outcast - which he had been most of his life. His darker sides are there to present him as a round/dynamic character, as he shows different fractions of his character throughout the plot of the book. Paul’s relationships with his father and brother are arranged to show the unsteadiness and weak bonds through thin, dotted or jagged
Shapes are the first symbols that can be seen throughout the story. For example, the black box, and the town square are square shape. A square represents Shirley states, “the people of the village began to gather in the square.” Circles are also shown in the stool and in the white paper. Shirley Jackson wrote, “it had a black spot on it.”
Minnie Foster was once described as the belle of the ball. To look at her tonight for the first time you could see why. She carried herself with both an air of confidence and modesty at the same time. Her small eyes dominated her face. They did not look directly at you anymore though. Still, they seemed all knowing and experienced as if they were able to see and know secrets about you that you wish no one knew. Her slender peaked nose was no match for the full lips she had, lips that never uttered a sound and which have become as pale as her knuckles. Her lips were pierced shut protecting the thoughts in her head from falling out one by one to the hard flooring.
Minnie is a half Caucasian and half Asian, an active child who may be a bit too hyper, yet she charges into a situation without observing as Billy had. Minnie connects more with her father and because of this the mother often feels left out and jealous. Minnie is the difficult child and the section I relate to most.
... point. This point is the white building in the painting. The lines all end at his point in order for the eye to follow the line down to this particular building.

According to Ms. and Mr. Mouse, Minnie cries easily, changes moods quickly, is sad, irritable, and reports that nobody likes her. These rating are consistent with Ms. Mouse report that Minnie appears to become easily upset and has difficulty regulating her emotions. These ratings are also consistent with the examiners observations during the testing session. On occasion when Minnie encountered a difficult problem, she would cry “I want my
Carroll wanted the fantasy story to be filled with ink drawings so he could present it to his younger friend who was called Alice Liddell, who coincidentally inspired the story (Engen, 1991). Tenniel’s task of illustrating the book was however regarded as “difficult” (Engen, 1991), although the illustrations themselves have been suggested to be Tenniel’s “greatest illustrations” (Engen, 1991). Despite that, there are slight differences in Tenniel’s styles from Punch to the styles he used in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. For example, Tenniel’s Punch magazine illustrations had a tendency to be very dark in shading and were a great deal more detailed. Although, his Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland illustrations were a good deal more reserved from shading and were not as detailed, nevertheless a whole lot more innocent as intended for the target audience of the
As her defense lawyer, a few options come to mind, Minnie should be admitted to a mental hospital until she is fit enough to be released. Minnie needs time to herself, to think and understand the crime she has committed and a mental hospital is a great place to start. Later on, when she is deemed fit enough to be released, Minnie should attend therapy sessions to make sure she keeps her mentality in line. Therapy is a good option to help control, and express her feelings so that past feelings and thoughts do not arise. Lastly, during the time of her therapy sessions, Minnie should also be on probation. Not only is it safe for her to be observed and watched on a day to day basis, it is safe for everyone around her as well. These are a few of the punishments that should be accepted for Minnie based on the fact that she is pleading insanity because “People who are adjudged to have

Through the imagery, we learn that Minnie’s life as John’s wife wasn’t a pleasant one. He kept her from being a part of the world outside their home. She was like a bird who was caged, and was dying to be set free. Which leads to another part in the play, Mrs. Hale finds a caged bird, who was strangled to death. Minnie did this as a way to show how she felt. Locked up, and dying to be set free, but John strangled her life and made it impossible to be let out. This explains how John controlled Minnie, she couldn’t take this feeling of being trapped any
...w any other animation out of the water. On November 28th, 1928 Mickey Mouse debuted in his first animation as Steamboat Willie. Thus begins the start of one of the most revolutionary companies ever in the art of animated cartoon features. The Walt Disney Company would soon take it’s feet as Mickey Mouse features incorporated the first picture and sound films of it’s time. Walt’s journey through life led him to take on a new found love for animation where he wanted to better it so that all sorts of families could enjoy motion pictures. From his influences in the theatres as a child, to his new ideas on how to improve animation, Walt began shaping the way animated cartoons functioned. From 1928 to The Walt Disney Company’s current operation, the success of one mouse has put Walt Disney into the history books as one of the most prominent managerial leaders of our time.
LITTLE KNOWN SECRETS: Donald's first depiction was drawn in the book "Mickey Mouse Annual," in the poem "More HooZoo," where he was an unassuming little winged duckling who wore buttoned pants (perhaps the last time he would ever wear pants). At least two cartoons present Donald and Daisy as married "Donald's Diary" (Mar. 5, 1954) and "How to Have an Accident at Work" (Sep. 2, 1959). The later of which even gives them an unnamed son. Though the first was most assuredly, like "Mickey's Nightmare," a dream. The second was more like the "Geef" shorts, presenting Donald as "everyman" and was presumably just a film role. The studio's general theory is that Donald's temperament is the one thing that stands between Donald and Daisy ever actually tying the knot.
