   Step 2: Draw Mickey's dog

   Pluto is part English Pointer, so try looking at photos of real dogs to make his body shape more accurate. , Donald is known for his quick temper, but this illustration shows off his more positive side: he's smiling happily, with his hands tucked behind his back. , This puppet-turned-real-boy has lots of rounded edges and soft colors; keep that in mind as you're drawing him. , Focus on his ears, of course, since they're his claim to fame. , Accentuate his long limbs and big eyes to make him look extra playful and innocent.
   
   Color his body light brown and his head slightly darker. , Use long, swooped lines to draw her cape, and make her face round and kind. , Draw his arms outstretched and a wide, mischievous grin on his face. , She's a friend of Peter Pan's and has small, dainty limbs and wings.
   
   At the same time, she's very sassy and vivacious, and her pose should reflect that! , Although this pose isn't from the famous spaghetti-eating scene, the positions and expressions of the two dogs clearly show that they care about each other. , He may start off as downright frightening, both in manners and appearance, but Belle manages to transform him into a gentleman by the end of the movie (as shown here). , Like the Beast, he is introduced as a completely different character than he ends up.
   
   This incarnation is Aladdin before he meets the Genie. , Mufasa has a certain regal stance and a fierce look in his eyes—make sure to incorporate those details into your drawing. , Being a toy rather than a person, Buzz's lines are cleaner and his features more artificial-looking, so keep that in mind! , Cruella has a sharply angled face and body and her clothes are richly colored to contrast with her white skin and black hair. ,
