I’ll be honest: I’m not the most talented person at drawing in the whole world, but that has never kept me from looking for Disney characters to draw. In fact, I’ve also been known to flip through my fair share of Disney coloring books and Disney coloring pages as well.

These days though, there’s a huge amount of resources available in blog posts, on YouTube, and in drawing books made by Disney, Marvel, and others to teach you (and me!) how to draw all of our favorite characters.

This means that no matter who you are, whether or not you’re good with pencils and crayons and drawing paper, you can learn how to draw Disney characters from the comfort of your own bedroom, living room, kitchen, or even by the pool!

Alright, this is one of my personal favorite Disney characters to draw! Olaf!

Quick story before we begin: I once met one of the Disney animators that actually worked on Olaf for the first Frozen movie. In fact, he also did some of the voiceover work when Josh Gad wasn’t available. He drew me a quick, personalized drawing that I gave to my little sister as a gift. She and I both love Olaf so, so very much. It was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget.
