In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to draw Yosemite Sam in 19 steps. Yosemite Sam is one of Bugs Bunny’s most persistent rivals in Looney Tunes. Known for his oversized hat, large mustache, and cowboy attire, his design is a mix of bold shapes and exaggerated proportions. This drawing is pretty easy but requires attention to the detailed facial hair, expressive eyes, and clothing elements.
Recognizable Features of Yosemite Sam from Looney Tunes
- Massive tan cowboy hat that extends well above his head
- Long, thick orange mustache that covers much of his chest
- Small round nose
- Sharp, angled eyebrows framing his eyes
- Red shirt paired with a yellow neckerchief
- Blue pants with a large belt buckle
- Black cowboy boots
- Short stature with a wide stance for exaggerated cartoon appeal
If you’re drawing Yosemite Sam, it might be fun to also sketch Bugs Bunny outsmarting him, Elmer Fudd joining in on a failed plan, or Daffy Duck causing more chaos in the scene.
Step Color Guide for the Yosemite Sam Drawing
To keep the process simple, the tutorial uses a color-coded system:
- Red Color: current step lines
- Black Color: completed lines from previous steps
Following this will help maintain consistent proportions while building up all the cartoon details.
