How To Draw An Anime Leprechaun

Draw a cartoon Leprechaun with this easy to follow step-by-step tutorial.
This lesson will help you learn how to draw a cartoon leprechaun! The original Irish name for Leprechauns is lobaircin, meaning small-bodied fellow. Leprechauns are a class of "faerie folk" associated in Irish mythology and folklore. A popular belief is that if you find the end of a rainbow you will find a Leprechaun with his pot of gold.
This tutorial will show you step-by-step how to draw a picture of a Leprechaun in the Powerpuff Girls style. We will be using simple shapes so even the most novice artist will be able to achieve expert results.
This tutorial differs from my usual step-by-step drawing tutorials. In this tutorial I took a character that most people already know and love and changed it up making a new character yet keeping the style and feel of the original.

To draw your leprechaun's top hat start with a curved line across his forehead. The line should just cover the top of his eyes. Above it draw another line following the same curve. Connect them at the ends with a straight line angling outwards. For the crown of his hat draw a couple horizontal lines slightly in from the ends of the brim. The taller you want the hat the less of an angle you will want to draw crown as you don't want it to look like a witch's hat. Add a hatband and buckle to his hat. How To Draw A Leprechaun #4

Pictionary
Pictionary deserves to go down as one of the all time great board games. It has appeal for both young and old. No matter what your level of drawing skill is, you can enjoy this game, granted that a talented drawer may have the slightest of edges. Overall it's a great game that is heaps of fun and educational for younger players as it introduces new words to them. Highly recommended. Ready, set.......go!
