Please PAUSE the "How to Draw a Mouse" video after each step to draw at your own pace.

For the first few steps, don't press down too hard with your pencil. Use light, smooth strokes to begin.

Step 1: Draw a shape similar to an egg as a guide for the mouse's head.

Step 2: Draw a slightly bigger circle behind the head as a guide for the mouse's body.

Step 3: Inside the mouse's head, draw two intersecting lines. These will be guides to help you place the mouse's facial features later on.

Step 4: Draw two arcs on top of the mouse's head for the ears.

Step 5: Starting on the right side of the body, draw a curved line for the mouse's tail.
