Let’s go over how to draw a cute mouse reading a book in this guide. The shapes are simple here, but you’ll need to pay attention to the proportions since most of the cuteness comes from the big head, large ears, and small body. The open book adds a nice extra detail to work with as you build up the sketch.
Key Features To Watch When Drawing The Cute Baby Mouse
- Head is round and large, almost as the body
- Large oval ears with inner ear details
- Small oval nose centered under two round eyes
- Thin whiskers extending from both sides of the face
- Short arms holding the open book, one paw holds the book, the other one flips through the pages
- Open book with visible pages and cover lines
- Sitting position with small feet visible near the book
- Thin curved tail extending backward behind the body
- Simple fur line details on top of the head and side of the face
When you’re done with this one, you can also try drawing other cute animals like an anime rat, a baby bunny, a kawaii cat with a ball, or a hamster eating to keep practicing similar cartoon styles.
Color Coding I Use For This Drawing Guide
To make the drawing process easier, I use this color marking system for each step:
- Red Color: shows the current step you are working on.
- Black Color: shows the lines you have already drawn in previous steps.
- Grey Color: shows the basic sketch outlines to help you place the elements correctly.

When you finish your cute mouse drawing, you can share your result in the comments under the pinned post on Pinterest. A lot of artists post their versions there, and it’s always interesting to see different takes on the same subject.
