Everyone has a different skill level. Whether your drawing freehand, have fantastic drawing skills or not, all you need to do is find an image of The Lorax and The Lorax Characters and Truffula trees and give it a go.
I like to use a pencil and eraser when I paint Dr Seuss Characters because it allows me to get my outline right before I begin the painting process. This is totally optional and you may want to fig straight into the painting.
Once the paint is dry you can outline the characters using a black sharpie or posca paint pen.
How To Paint The Lorax
When painting The Lorax, you will need four colors, orange, yellow, white, and black. Simply paint the Lorax Moustache using yellow paint and then cover the rest of his body in orange. Add white for the Lorax eyes and use a black sharpie or black posca pen to outline your Lorax character.
