I shuffled my Offensive Drawing Prompts and drew 3 cards, which were:
Jake (Adventure Time) – Cut up into pieces – Dresses as a Nazi
I was happy with the 2nd and 3rd card but I decided to rotate the first card, changing Jake to Mickey Mouse. So, the prompt I ended up with was:
Mickey Mouse – Cut up into pieces – Dresses as a Nazi
I found that to be quite hilarious and it doesn’t get much more offensive than that! Seeing Mickey Mouse dead and cut up into pieces is awful, but then again, if he’s a Nazi then maybe it’s not that bad.
I took a minute to try to visualize Mickey Mouse as a Nazi (the cut up into pieces part was simple enough). My first thought was to draw Mickey as a random Nazi soldier, but I thought drawing him as Adolf Hitler specifically would be even better. So, I decided to incorporate Adolf Hitler’s mustache, cap and arm band. Next, I pulled some references.
After getting the references I realized I’d rather use Hitler’s hair instead of the military cap I first envisioned. I also decided to include the Iron Cross pin. I’ll be doing all my art using the Procreate App on an iPad Pro. Now it’s time for the sketch:
I opted for the cap after all. I wasn’t able to imagine Mickey with Hitler’s haircut. I also thought the cap made it clearer that he’s a Nazi. I also added a tie. I don’t know why but I felt it was a nice touch. For my sketch I wanted to leave Mickey’s ears still showing. I was afraid if I removed them then it wouldn’t be clear that this was still Mickey Mouse. But after looking at the sketch I realized the ears had to go. I also noticed I forgot the tail, but that’s easy enough to add when I do the line art.
Ears gone and tail added. I was fast and loose with my lines around Mickey, but the swastika and iron cross took a little bit longer to draw correctly. I’m obviously not winning any awards for my art but overall, I’m quite happy with it so far.
A bit of color which I sampled from my reference image of Mickey Mouse.
I added some simple shading. I’m drawing the cartoon version of Mickey so no need to get fancy here.
Finally, I added shadow over a concrete texture I downloaded from google. Top it off with a little blood splatter and I’m done. The total time it took for this was just under two and a half hours.

The Offensive Drawing Prompts are a fun and interesting. The subjects aren’t too complex so even a novice artist (like me) can enjoy using them.
