Nobody really knows what type of creature Yoda is or where he comes from. The only thing I know is that he is an ancient Jedi Master, and he’s only about, I don’t know, 900 years old. The Star Wars saga in the years after Anakin Skywalker transformed into Darth Vader, Yoda was living out his years in a swamp when Luke came to be trained from old master Yoda. The force was very powerful with Yoda, he’s trained young Jedi for many centuries which included Obi-Wan-Kenobi and young Luke Skywalker. His powers and abilities were not only with the force, he also has incredible telekinesis ability. Remember when he ripped that column right from the ground and hummed it at Count Dooku, that was impressive for a little guy that didn’t even measure up to someone’s waist unless they were 5. Yoda was also seen as a clairvoyant; he could see parts of future events as well as feel all the good and bad around him. He was able to feel the pain and suffering from other Jedi’s when they were being killed in “Revenge of the Sith”. The only thing Yoda is equipped with besides his cane is a Lightsaber; he was known to be the greatest swordsman that ever lived. Some interesting facts you may not know about Yoda’s character is, when George Lucas created Yoda, he initially gave him a full name of “Yoda Minch”, but as time went by while forming the character, it was decided that he would leave his history unknown to entice the public. Have you ever wonder who exactly has the role of Yoda’s voice? I think I can answer that for you. In episode 4 it was Frank Oz who was the talent in the whole movie, then came John Lithgow for Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. After all is said, Yoda is a strange mysterious character that all Jedi look up to and once in a while I hear friends recite his quotes once in a while. In this tutorial I will show you how to draw Yoda in detail. There are 7 steps and the instructions are laid out super easy. I have to go right now, but I’ll be back another day.

Step 1.

This is the first step to draw Yoda. Step 1 is all about sketching out the outlines of the little guy. Start by drawing a round head, and two big triangle shaped eras that stick from the sides of his head instead of on top. Now draw the lining for his cloak that he wears starting just below the ears, down to the ground that flows toward the front. In the middle of body draw a little misshapen outline of a hand and arm. That will complete this step.

Step 2.

Step consist of detailing the outlines of his face as well as the inside. First start off by shaping his head by drawing a wrinkling round shape and a sagging jowl section. Sketch the lines for the inside of his ears which is an easy task, all you have to do is make a smaller triangle inside the big one and add a curve for definition. Draw the lines for his eyes and the nose. before leaving this step, sketch out his hands. They have three chunky fingers, the ones on the right have a pointed tip which will be his nails in later steps. Draw some of the detail on his cloak and move to step 3.

Step 3.

Now you can start drawing in the bumps that lie on his forehead. They look like little mountains so it will go, lump, lump, lump, then go to the second row and draw another three lumps. Fill in the eye sockets by drawing the eyes and pupils. Detail his face by sketching the frown lines that run from the ends of the nostril, down to the sides of the grin. You also want to add more detail in his attire, and wrinkle up the front of his neck. Draw in the nails on his chunky fingers and detail the palm of his hand and fingers. Draw the lining for his three toed feet before going to the next step.

Step 4.

This step involves more definition being drawn on the face. Sketch in a few rows of wrinkles around his eyes on the top and bottom. Sketch some lip lines and neck wrinkle lines too. Move to the undershirt and sketch in some detail there, and then on his robe. Detail the sleeve too by showing that it is actually hanging from his arm.

Step 5.

More definition is added in this step by sketching in wrinkle lines around the mouth some more and around the hair line near his ears. A few more wrinkles around the eyes won't hurt, and more detail to the robe would be a good thing to do as well. Start sketching out his misshapen feet which is another simple thing, and add the toe nails. If you look at the foot it sort of looks like the foot of a big bird or something. After you are satisfied with this step proceed to the next.

Step 6.

All you do here that you could've done in step 5 is detail the buckle on his waist wrap, and sketch more definition to the robe. This shouldn't take you that long the only part that may take up the most time is drawing the little circles on his buckle. Take your time don't rush and move to step 7.

Step 7.

This is a simple step too. All you have to do is draw a small cane that rest under his right hand. This cane is obviously aged so you have to sketch in all the detail you would see in an old piece of wood. Detail his right foot by adding his toe nails and give just a tad bit more detail to the robe and buckle before you go, why not right. The more detailed you get with a sketch the better it will end up looking.

Step 8.

After you erase all the guidelines and sketch marks this is what you should end up with. You did an awesome job and all you have to do is color him. He looks good like this too, so if you wanted to keep him as a sketch you can do that as well.
