Tips To Draw the Grinch Who Stole Christmas

So, you've decided you like to draw the Grinch, that is the Grinch from How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  He's a greasy black banana, and as slippery as an eel, Mr. Grinch, from the books by Dr. Suess, and later animated into a seasonal villain that everyone loves, dearly (I know I do).

Well, here it goes.  These are two distinct versions of him.  One, as his average nude self, and the other in his make-shift Santa costume.  Both are fairly similar, and actually quite simple.  He's basically a single line from top to bottom, with rudimentary shapes like a heart, oval and angles.

You ready to get started?  Then let's go.

First, let's draw him o-natural.

And, that's it.  If you'd like some more details on this, check out my Squidoo article, How to Draw the Grinch.  This is actually the second in my series of How-to-draw something.  The first was How To Draw Nightmare Before Christmas Characters.  If you like, you can mix them up, and draw the ultimate Christmas villain pic, with The Grinch and Jack Skellington.  I hope you enjoy!

Yo, Santa.  We got it this year.

If you're learning to draw, the head angles are the place to start.  Start with a How To Draw a Man's Face -- Front View, and then move on to a woman's face -- front view.

The two are very similar, but while a man's face is mainly made of straight lines and hard corners, a woman's face has many more curves in it.  There's a lot more finesse, and in most cases, less is more.  Draw fewer lines, and make each one count.  Take a look below.
