The answer

Originally, drawing animate beings is forbidden, whether they are creatures without parallel or fictional characters. However, it is permissible to draw pictures of animate beings with the removal of a part essential for life, such as the head and chest. An exception to this is what serves a legitimate Islamic interest, such as games and animated films for children that promote virtue and Islamic manners. There is no harm in drawing inanimate objects like trees and mountains.
