How to Draw Yoshi
Tutorial on How to Draw Yoshi From the Mario Universe
Unlike most of the other tutorials on Howtodrawforkids.com, this tutorial on how to draw Yoshi will have more complex lines and details in steps.
This is because I usually simplify objects and characters in my drawing lessons. This helps make the instruction easier for children and beginners.
But if we try to simplify Yoshi, then he will cease to be recognizable. Therefore, we will draw Yoshi exactly in the form in which we could see him in games.
So get your art supplies ready and let’s get started!

- Pencil
- Paper

How to Draw Yoshi
- Sketch Yoshi’s nose.
Start by drawing a small, curved line to form Yoshi’s nose. This curve defines the snout and gives the initial foundation for his head. Make sure to create the curve smoothly and with a slight upward tilt at the end.
- Draw the top and back of the head.
TIn this step, draw two hill-shaped contours to represent Yoshi’s eyes. Next, extend another curved line behind the eyes to outline the back of Yoshi’s head. This line should arch smoothly, connecting from the eye’s descent to the bottom of the head, defining the head’s overall shape.
- Sketch Yoshi’s torso and tail.
Now, draw Yoshi’s back by extending a long, sweeping curve from the bottom of his head, tapering slightly at the end. This line will form his back and tail, which is essential for capturing his overall silhouette. Now it might look like a cartoon snake or worm.
- Draw Yoshi’s arms.
You may have noticed that many cartoon characters have disproportionately large palms. For example, For example, Mickey Mouse has these proportions. Yoshi also has the same proportions – the palms here look like large rounded figures comparable to the torso.
- Draw the shoes.
Using smooth lines, outline the top of the shoes first, then the soles.
- Add the details.
Draw three circular bumps on Yoshi’s back to create his characteristic spines, emphasizing his reptilian nature. Make sure these circles decrease in size as they go down his back.
- Draw the details of the face.
It’s time to complete Yoshi’s face by adding his eyes and nostrils. Draw two large oval shapes on the front of his head for his eyes, and add small circles within for his pupils. Finally, place two tiny dots on his snout to complete his nostrils.
- Color Yoshi.
Finish by coloring in Yoshi’s design. Shade his body green, and color his spines and shell red. Make his shoes orange and yellow. This final step brings Yoshi to life, allowing his vibrant personality to shine through in its classic Mario game style.
