Drawing a Minion with Python Turtle Graphics

The article provides a step‑by‑step guide for creating a Minion illustration using Python's turtle graphics library. It explains that after learning basic turtle drawing, the author defines separate functions for the head, body parts, limbs, eyes, mouth, clothing, and accessories, then calls them in sequence to render the complete figure.

Below is the full source code used in the tutorial; each function contains turtle commands that set pen size, speed, colors, positions, and drawing arcs to form the Minion's components. Run the script to see the drawing.

import turtle as t t.pensize(4) t.speed(10) # =======头====== def head(): t.penup() t.fillcolor("#FFEE26") t.goto(-130, 10) t.pendown() t.begin_fill() t.seth(81) t.fd(90) t.seth(100) t.circle(-500, 3) t.circle(-100, 10) t.circle(-200, 25) t.circle(-110, 20) t.circle(-140, 30) t.circle(-180, 30) t.circle(-200, 20) t.circle(-140, 10) t.circle(-160, 50) t.seth(85) t.fd(-148) t.seth(-112) t.circle(-250, 14) t.fd(200) t.right(80) t.fd(190) t.seth(110) t.circle(-200, 7) t.circle(-130, 30) t.end_fill() # =======肚兜====== # ====后脚===== def houjiao(): t.begin_fill() t.penup() t.goto(-120, -250) t.pendown() t.fillcolor("#030003") t.setheading(-135) t.circle(60, 20) t.fd(35) t.circle(20, 160) t.circle(100, 10) t.fd(20) t.goto(-120, -250) t.end_fill() # ...
