Disney villains, though not the heroes who have captured our hearts, are characters we love to hate. We've cheered on our heroes to conquer these “baddest of the bad,” whether it’s Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians, the Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland, or Captain Hook from Peter Pan. In Learn to Draw Disney Villains, celebrate the rottenest, most wretched, and most memorable villains in Disney lore by learning to draw them step by step. Professional Disney artists provide drawing tips to show even beginning artists how to capture, with just a drawing pencil, the incredible personalities and sinister styles of these purveyors of evil. Learn to draw more than 35 Disney villains—a wicked queen, an evil stepmother, a dark sorcerer, a devious strawberry-scented bear, and more—from such favorite Disney and Disney•Pixar films as Toy Story, Cars, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Frozen, among others.
In this book, after an introduction to art tools and materials, a series of drawing exercises invites artists to warm up and learn a few basic drawing techniques. Then the real fun begins! The easy-to-follow instructions will guide you through the drawing process; each step builds upon the last until the character is complete! You just need to grab a pencil, a piece of paper, and your copy of Learn to Draw Disney Villains, and flip to the character you want to draw. You’ll draw the basic shapes shown in step one, and move on to step two, step three, and keep going! The new lines in each step are shown in blue, so you’ll know exactly what to draw. After adding all the details in each step, darken the lines you want to keep and erase the rest. Finally, add color to your Disney villain drawing with felt-tip markers, colored pencils, watercolors, or acrylic paints.
So grab a pencil, some paper, and a copy of Learn to Draw Disney Villains, and start drawing your favorite Disney villains step-by-step!
