How to Draw A Yeti – Featuring How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters

I’ve been drawing silly creatures and goofy faces for as long as I can remember, so working on How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters was a real treat. This book brings together 50 original monster designs—each hand-drawn by me—and offers step-by-step instructions that break down every character into easy-to-follow stages. And today, I’m excited to share a brand-new video tutorial showing How to Draw A Yeti, a character straight from the pages of this book.

If you’ve got a kid who’s constantly doodling monsters in the margins of their homework, or if you’re an adult looking for a fun and creative outlet, How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters is a great place to start. The book is designed to be accessible, lighthearted, and most importantly, fun. Whether you’re a total beginner or a young artist just starting out, each page is laid out to help you go from a blank page to a fully finished cartoon character—like our yeti—without getting overwhelmed.

What’s Inside the Book

In How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters, you’ll find a wide variety of imaginative creatures—from mischievous gremlins to one-eyed blob monsters and cheerful ghouls. Each one has its own quirky personality and unique features. Some are furry, some are scaly, and a few have more eyeballs than you’d expect—but all of them are cute in their own weird little way.

Every drawing in the book follows the same structured format:

  • Six simple steps per character
  • Clean, uncluttered layout for focus
  • Progression from basic shapes to final details

Each page is designed to build confidence and make the drawing process feel achievable, especially for kids or anyone new to cartooning.


Let’s Talk About the Yeti

One of my favorite characters in the book is the yeti. It’s a classic creature, but I gave mine a softer, more cartoonish spin. Think tall and slender, puffy pink fur, fluffy legs, and a cute simple face that gives him a friendly vibe instead of a scary one.

In today’s video tutorial, I’ll walk you through How to Draw A Yeti from scratch. The design follows the exact steps found in the book, so whether you’re watching the video or flipping through the page in your copy, you’ll be able to draw along with confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered How to Draw A Yeti without making it too complicated or intimidating, this tutorial is a great place to jump in.

Why Drawing Monsters Is So Much Fun

I think monster characters are one of the most freeing things to draw. There are no rules—monsters don’t have to look realistic. You can give them two heads, ten arms, or a tail made of spaghetti if you want. That kind of freedom makes them perfect for young artists who are still figuring out their style.

In my experience, books like How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters help kids build their drawing skills in a way that’s imaginative and playful. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about having fun while you learn.

When a kid picks up a pencil and follows the steps for How to Draw A Yeti, they’re not just drawing—they’re learning how to observe, break complex things into simpler parts, and follow a creative process all the way through to the end.

And best of all, they’re learning that their ideas matter. Because once they’ve drawn my yeti, it’s not a big leap to draw their own yeti. Maybe one with headphones. Or roller skates. Or a tutu.

That’s the magic of monster drawing.

About the How to Draw Series

This book is part of my ongoing How to Draw series, which includes a variety of themed drawing books—each one focusing on a different type of subject. Some books are packed with aliens and robots. Others dive into animals, dinosaurs, or fantasy creatures like mermaids and unicorns. But no matter the theme, the format stays consistent: hand-drawn characters, easy-to-follow steps, and an emphasis on creativity over perfection.

As the illustrator and author of every title in the series, I put a lot of thought into making these books approachable and fun. I want kids to feel like they can sit down with a pencil and start drawing without feeling like they’re doing it “wrong.” If you’ve ever looked at an art book and felt overwhelmed by too much technical jargon or complicated techniques, that’s exactly what I’m trying to avoid here.

Every character I draw is created with a kid in mind. I ask myself: What would be fun to draw? What would make a young artist laugh, or feel proud of their work? That’s how you end up with a whole page dedicated to How to Draw A Yeti with a big grin and oversized feet.


A Few Drawing Tips for Kids (and Adults)

  1. Start Light – Use a pencil and draw lightly when sketching the basic shapes. You can go over everything later once you’re happy with your lines.
  2. Take Your Time – Don’t rush. Each step builds on the last, and it’s okay to pause and make adjustments.
  3. Make It Yours – Once you’re comfortable following the steps, start customizing your characters. Add accessories, change facial expressions, or invent your own creatures.
  4. Practice Makes Progress – The more you draw, the more confident you’ll become. And books like How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Monsters are meant to be drawn in over and over again.
  5. Have Fun With It – If you’re laughing while drawing a silly monster with googly eyes and mismatched feet, you’re doing it right.

I hope today’s video tutorial gives you a fun introduction to what the book has to offer. The yeti is just one of 50 characters you’ll find inside, and each one is designed to bring a smile to your face while helping you build real drawing skills.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“The author really does a great job demonstrating how easy (and rewarding!) it can be to draw seemingly ordinary things you (and your little ones!) may feel too intimidated to try drawing without the step-by-step guide! Putting already-known shapes together and making something new and original is a fantastic way to learn! And recognizing that you can add your own twists and personality to your drawings makes all the difference. I think it’s a fun, original approach to building confidence for a lifelong hobby. I have the ebook copy, and can only imagine how great a physical copy would be!”

– Daenarah [Amazon Review]

“There are several of these fun books by this author. My kids and I have had a lot of fun with these. It’s a great activity to do as a family and see how they all turn out. Almost like a sip and paint but more of a juice box and draw.”

Allison B. [Amazon Review]

My kids can’t wait to start drawing these monsters in their illustrations! The many different moods of the monsters appeal to their different personalities. We love the many options, styles, and opportunities to expand upon the characters. Recommended for all ages!

– Kasey [Amazon Review]

“Kevin has put out many books on drawing and animation, and has such a great feel for HOW to explain the process. His art is so expressive and kid-friendly, but his real strength is in his ability to really explain and show how it’s done, making it accessible to kids and adults. I’m a firm believer that not everyone who “can do” can teach, but Kevin does both beautifully! Pick this up and watch kids have a blast making robots of all sorts, while learning great fundamental art skills at the same time!”

Tom R. [Amazon Review]

“My 5yo LOVES this book! The drawings are cute and the instructions are easy to follow along with. She gets a kick out of drawing muffin monsters and ketchup monsters and it actually keeps her pretty focused for long periods of time.”

– Monica [Amazon Review]

“This is a fantastic book for kids who love art, cartoons, comic books, or just having fun! There are a lot of characters to choose from, and really easy step-by-step instructions to follow. You child will have a blast drawing these fun, silly characters! And just in time for Easter baskets!”

– Bestmomever [Amazon Review]

“This is a very good book for kids that want to learn to draw, my sons love it and Kevin does a great job of making drawing fun and not intimidating. Highly recommended for the long summer hours!”
