Materials You Will Need

Step 1: Draw the Head
Start by drawing a circle for the head of the leprechaun. Add two smaller circles for the eyes and a triangle for the nose. Don't forget to add a mischievous smile!
Step 2: Draw the Hat
Above the head, draw a rectangle shape for the leprechaun's hat. Add a buckle in the center to give it that classic leprechaun look.
Step 3: Draw the Body
Draw a rectangle shape below the head for the leprechaun's body. Add two rectangles for the arms on either side.
Step 4: Draw the Legs
Extend two lines down from the body to create the leprechaun's legs. Add ovals at the bottom for the feet.
Step 5: Add Details
Now it's time to add some details to bring your leprechaun to life. Add a belt around the waist, buttons on the jacket, and stripes on the hat. Don't forget to add some wrinkles and folds to the clothing for a more realistic look.
Step 6: Color Your Leprechaun (Optional)
If you want to add some color to your drawing, grab your markers or colored pencils and start coloring in your leprechaun. Traditionally, leprechauns are depicted wearing green, so feel free to get creative with different shades of green, gold, and red.
