How to Draw the Great Prince From Bambi II

Disney has created many iconic characters over the years. Many of these characters happen to be animals. Everything from mice, to elephants and even deer, have been made into characters that inspire laughter and even tears with their heartfelt stories and lighthearted antics. One of the more noble characters in the Disney world is the Great Prince from Bambi II. Drawing this animal can be done by making use of a dynamic triangle frame for composition and several basic shapes to use as a frame.

Things You'll Need

• Paper
• Pencil
• Black ink pen
• Eraser

Instructions

1. 

   Draw a large triangle in the center of the page. The left and right sides of the triangle should be longer than the bottom line. This triangle will serve to frame the composition of the entire animal, which fits inside the triangle.

2. 

   Draw the Great Prince's head with an oval in the top of the triangle. Draw a diagonal cylinder in the middle of the triangle. The cylinder is made from a circle under the head and two diagonal lines that end in a curved line on the left-hand side. Add four vertical lines for the legs. Place two of these on the left-side of the cylinder and two on the right. Add a small triangle to the bottom left corner of the head. Draw the ear with a small triangle on the top left side. Create the neck with a curved line coming down from the head and connecting to the upper right side of the body.

3. 

   Create the horns with an upside down and sideways "L" shape on the top of the head. Add the individual horns with two vertical lines on the main horn shape. Add a curved "V" shape on the top of each vertical line. Add parallel lines around the neck to thicken it. Add a parallel line on each side of the leg guidelines. Draw the eye with a small oval on the left-hand side of the head.

4. 

   Erase any guidelines you no longer need, including the large triangle flame. Ink the entire illustration of the Great Prince. Let the ink dry and erase the pencil lines.

Tips & Warnings

• * Most heroic illustration can fit inside a large triangular frame. The shape makes the composition dynamic. See if you can draw another character within a triangle.

• * Be sure to let the ink dry before erasing the pencil, or the picture will smudge.
