Well besides practicing and using as much official artwork, models, sprites, and sometimes even fanart as references to help you get a better understanding on how to draw Yoshi, there are two tips I can give.

One tip is relating to Yoshi's body shape. I remember someone at one point had drew a croissant and a banana as a way to differeinte the body proportions between modern yoshi and classic yoshi lol

As someone who likes to explore and do random experiments on the Yoshi designs, I would often use any kinds of shapes or objects to give a Yoshi an unique body shape from their standard classic and modern designs. For examples, here are the other foods I've sketched out to make some non-standard looking Yoshis as seen below

The other tip I have is relating to Yoshi's head. His face is round and full of circles if that makes sense. I think after sketching out a circle for the head first, it's best to add another circle (the nose) to overlap it since Yoshi's nose pretty much covers his whole face lol After that, you add two small ovals there for eyes and then add yet another (although a bit smaller) circle for the cheek.

Now this is where you draw over the sketch to make the character look a bit more recognizable. I think what's great about this particular sketch is that it can work for both Modern Yoshi and Classic Yoshi's heads, albeit with a few changes. Pretty neat!

I dunno if there are other tips that I have about drawing Yoshi, but I hope these two tips help! ;D

Huh, I wasn't aware that I drew Yoshi sticking his tongue out so "dynamical" in any way for someone to notice. Regardless, I do have a tip on how I did it so I guess I can try explaining how. Bear with me though as I'm not too good at explaining how I draw certain stuff 😅

Some of the official Yoshi artwork, models, and sprites have shown that Yoshi kind of has that big bulge at the end of his tongue (sometimes that bulge is straight up a ball lol). Other than using a bunch of official stuff for practice and references, I just imagine Yoshi's tongue as some kind of a ball attached to a string (sort of like a paddle ball) whenever I sketch it out.

Then I just draw the "string" doing random movements like being all wiggly, zigzag and whatnot while the "ball" is still attached to it.

So I guess you just go crazy with however you want to draw the line and then you attach the ball at the end and there you have it! A dynamically drawn Yoshi's tongue or something XD

Hope this helps! =)
