James P. Sullivan or “Sully” is one of the lead characters in Disney’s 3D animated movie Monster’s Inc. He is known in the movie as the best monster for scaring little children. He’s also Michael Wazowski or “Mike’s” best friend and later on in the movie Boo’s friend. So, practice your drawing strokes as Sully practiced his scares by following this tutorial on how to draw Sully.

Steps

  1. 1
    Learn how to draw Sully's head. To draw his head, start drawing two distorted hearts. First draw a smaller heart, then draw a larger one below it. Connect them by drawing another shape and then finish by drawing guidelines or vertical and horizontal lines.
  2. 2
    Know that Sully is a big fuzzy monster. Start drawing his fuzziness by drawing zig zag lines on his head. Then connect your drawn shapes to form the shape of his head and add his horns.
