  • The first step is to draw what will look like the leprechaun's beard with a horizontal line at the top. Draw two lines vertical, and a wavy line along the bottom.

  • The next step is to draw the leprechaun face inside the previous shape. I like to start with a jagged line right under the straight line at the top. This is the leprechaun's bangs. From there draw a U shape under that for the face adding two small upside down U's for the eyes. Draw a small circle in the middle of the U for the nose. From there draw a small line out each side of the nose for the top of the mustache. For the bottom of the mustache draw a long drawn out W shape connecting each end to the tops of the mustache. Then draw a U under the middle of the mustache for the mouth, with a small arch for the tongue. Add two small half circles off each side of the leprechaun for the ears.

  • Start by drawing the bottom brim of the hat out from the horizontal line at the top of the leprechaun's head. Draw each end of the line curving up a the ends. Then draw another horizontal line above the other line making the brim. Next draw two lines up for the side of the hat in from the ends, right about the same width of the face. This is a tall top hat, so draw them up and then connect each side with a slightly curved up line across for the top of the hat. Add another thick line right above the brim of the hat for a belt. Add two small rectangle arch in the middle of the belt like piece for the buckle. Then add a small shamrock drawing for added flare.
