Heihei is one of the most entertaining characters from Disney’s Moana films, known for his clueless demeanor and comical personality. Learning how to draw Heihei is a great way to practice cartoon anatomy and explore expressive character design.
Heihei’s Features: What to Focus On
When drawing Heihei, make sure to include these important details:
- Eyes: Large, round, and wide open with a bewildered expression.
- Comb: A wavy red comb on top of his head.
- Neck: Long and yellow with a scraggly, feather-like texture.
- Body: Small and teal with smooth contours.
- Tail: Long, layered feathers in teal and green hues with pointed tips.
- Feet: Thin, scaly, and pale blue with three long toes and small claws.
For a well-rounded Moana drawing collection, consider adding other characters like Moana, Maui, or Pua the pig alongside Heihei.
Drawing Guide Tips
The guide uses a simple color-coding system to make the drawing process easy and structured. Here’s what each color represents:

- Black Color: Indicates completed lines from earlier steps.

This system helps you create an organized and clean sketch, which is especially useful for a character with intricate details like Heihei.
