How to Draw Baby Yoda: Easy Step-by-Step Drawing Lesson
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw Baby Yoda and a Baby Yoda Coloring Page. The simple shapes make him easy for all ages to draw.
Draw Baby Yoda
Who is Baby Yoda?
This little guy has been dubbed Baby Yoda, and is the apparent star of the new Disney Mandalorian series. He’s suddenly everywhere, so an easy drawing tutorial to help elementary age students learn how to draw him seemed like a good idea. And if pop culture is what it takes to help connect more students to drawing, then so be it.
Note: Because Yoda’s cuteness is all about his eyes, I shared a tip in my tutorial. If you lightly plan the eyes by starting with dots for the corners, before you connect them, then you have a much better chance of drawing them the same size. It’s frustrating if you draw two beautiful eyes, and afterwards realize that one is a bit larger than the other.
“I wanted to share the door decoration I did for my Art room this month – I used your “Baby Yoda” design for my inspiration.
Thanks for all the wonderful art lessons, they have been VERY helpful throughout the years!” – Amy L.
Drawing Guides
The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing project is to show them how to use guides as a reference point. If students make lines like those on their own paper, before drawing, they will have some extra help in seeing where to begin their drawing.

- Drawing Paper. Don’t substitute it with copy paper or construction paper. The surface will get fuzzy, erasing might cause holes, and the colors will generally not look as bright. *affiliate link
- Stabilo Markers. The large pack provides lots of fun color choices, several shades of each color, including a few choices for skin. The tips are perfect for coloring, and there’s even a promise that they will work after being uncapped for 8 weeks! *affiliate link
- Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. *affiliate link
- Black Sharpie Marker. Great for making a crisp outline to your drawing. Use them when you want your outline show up, but not be so heavy that it detracts from other things. *affiliate link

Thanks so much! As a first-year teacher, I felt overwhelmed, trying to set up lessons for K-5. You are fantastic for sharing these, wishing you the best!
Thanks Sofia, glad to hear he’s pretty well known with elementary students too, I wasn’t so sure about that. All I know is that my 23 year old son loves him!
