Here's a fun Irish Leprechaun to draw for St. Patrick's day, by guest artist Shawn Encarnacion. A Leprechaun is an Irish fairy - one of the 'little people' who takes the form of a little old man. Rumour has it that if you catch a leprechaun, you can make him tell you where he hides his treasure - but don't take your eyes off him for a moment, or he'll disappear into thin air!

This looks like a very complicated drawing, but Shawn breaks it down into very easy shapes. Even if you have no drawing ability at all, you'll be able to create a very good Leprechaun following this step by step drawing tutorial, so grab your pencil or drawing tablet and let's get started!
