The Grinch, with his heart two sizes too small, reigns as the green-furred, pot-bellied emblem of holiday mischief. Those piercing eyes glint with naughty schemes, and his sly smile is ever-ready to steal Christmas joy. From his tufts of unruly hair to his lanky, scheming fingers, he’s a character bursting with personality.
How To Draw The Grinch
Now, you can capture his mischievous charm on paper by following our simple, fun guide. Let your inner artist out and see how easy it is to bring the Grinch to the page, with just a few strokes and a dash of whimsy!
Drawing Process
Start with the Eyes: Imagine you’re creating a mask for a masquerade ball. Sketch two almond shapes for the Grinch’s mischievous eyes. For that grouchy look, draw a little wrinkle between them, like when you’re plotting some harmless pranks.
Now the Face: It’s time for some face-framing. Just like drawing the outline of a leaf, trace a shape around the eyes extending outward to make our Grinch’s face, which is not too chubby and not too skinny.
A Mean Little Stare: Within those almond-shaped eyes, pop in some tiny dots for pupils, giving him that signature “I’m-up-to-no-good” glare. And for his furrowed brows, rest some half-moon shapes above his eyes.
Add Some Flair with the Hair: Grinches aren’t known for neat hairdos. Give him some wild tufts of hair on top, kind of like your hair on a super windy day.

The Grumpy Grin: What’s the Grinch without his smirky smile? Draw a bean shape below his eyes for his nose and give him a grin that curves upwards. Add some cheeky lines for that extra “I’m plotting something” expression.
Dress Him Up: Even the Grinch needs to get dressed! Give him a collar, like a crescent roll at the bottom of his face, and a tie, just like getting ready for a fancy event, but in Grinch style.
Those Long, Lanky Arms: Sketch his arms with simple lines, like noodles hanging down, ending with cuffs for a bit of gentleman’s touch.
Hands on Hips: The Grinch is sassy, so place his hands on his hips. Draw a series of ovals and lines for fingers, as if he’s contemplating his next grand scheme.
Finishing Touches: Now, connect the dots – or lines, so to speak. Finish his body with a curve for his back and belly. Add some final lines for his legs and feet, standing firmly, ready to stir up a bit of Who-ville trouble!
And voila! Grab your colors and dress him up in his classic green or any wild colors of your choice. Remember, it’s all about having fun, so let your imagination run wild like the Grinch’s plans!
