Me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana.

Because gustar works differently from to like in English.

In English, you say:

• I like the drawing.

But in Spanish, the structure is more like:

• The drawing is pleasing to me.

So:

• me = to me
• gusta = is pleasing
• el dibujo = the drawing

That is why me gusta means I like in English, even though the grammar is built differently in Spanish.

Me is an indirect object pronoun meaning to me.

So in:

• Me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana

the literal idea is:

• The drawing of my sister / my sister’s drawing pleases me
• or more naturally, I like my sister’s drawing

Other common forms are:

• me gusta = I like
• te gusta = you like
• le gusta = he/she likes, or you like (formal)

Because the verb agrees with the thing being liked, not with the person who likes it.

Here, the thing being liked is:

• el dibujo = the drawing

That is singular, so you use gusta.

Compare:

• Me gusta el dibujo. = I like the drawing.
• Me gustan los dibujos. = I like the drawings.

So the rule is:

• singular thing liked → gusta
• plural things liked → gustan

In Spanish, articles like el, la, los, and las are often used more than in English.

So el dibujo simply means the drawing.

Spanish usually sounds more natural with the article here, even if English might sometimes leave it out in a similar context. Saying just Me gusta dibujo... would be incorrect.

The article el goes with dibujo, not with hermana.

• dibujo is a masculine noun, so it takes el
• hermana is feminine, but it appears inside the phrase de mi hermana

So the structure is:

• el dibujo = the drawing
• de mi hermana = of my sister / my sister’s

The gender of hermana does not change the article for dibujo.

It can mean of my sister, but in natural English it often becomes my sister’s.

So:

• el dibujo de mi hermana can mean my sister’s drawing

However, this phrase can sometimes be ambiguous depending on context. It could mean:

1. the drawing made by my sister
2. the drawing of my sister

In everyday conversation, context usually makes the meaning clear.

If you want to be more precise, Spanish can do that too:

• el dibujo que hizo mi hermana = the drawing my sister made
• el dibujo de mi hermana = the drawing of my sister / my sister’s drawing
• un dibujo hecho por mi hermana = a drawing made by my sister

Spanish often expresses possession with de.

So English:

• my sister’s drawing

often becomes Spanish:

• el dibujo de mi hermana

This is extremely common and natural.

You can use possessives like mi, tu, su, etc., but they do not always work in the same way as English possessives. For example:

• mi dibujo = my drawing
• el dibujo de mi hermana = my sister’s drawing

Spanish prefers the noun + de + owner structure very often, especially when the owner is a full noun phrase like mi hermana.

Yes. That is correct.

• Me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana = neutral, normal statement
• A mí me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana = I like my sister’s drawing / As for me, I like my sister’s drawing

The a mí adds emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

For example:

• A mí me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana, pero a mi padre no.
  = I like my sister’s drawing, but my father doesn’t.

You usually do not need a mí unless you want emphasis or contrast.

Yes, sometimes.

The most neutral order is:

• Me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana.

But Spanish can also place the thing liked first:

• El dibujo de mi hermana me gusta.

This often sounds more marked or emphatic, as if you are focusing on the drawing of my sister specifically.

For learners, the safest and most natural pattern is:

• Me gusta + noun

They are different words.

• mi = my
• mí = me after a preposition

So here:

• mi hermana = my sister

But:

• para mí = for me
• a mí = to me

That is why this sentence uses mi without an accent.

Here it is a noun meaning drawing.

• el dibujo = the drawing

But dibujo can also be a verb form:

• yo dibujo = I draw

So the word can have different roles depending on context.

In this sentence, the article el makes it clear that dibujo is a noun.

No. This sentence does not mean that.

• Me gusta el dibujo de mi hermana uses dibujo as a noun: the drawing

If you wanted to say I like drawing my sister, you would need a different structure, for example:

• Me gusta dibujar a mi hermana.

There, dibujar is the infinitive verb to draw.

So:

• el dibujo = the drawing
• dibujar = to draw

Then both the noun and the verb form would change:

• Me gustan los dibujos de mi hermana.

Why?

• los dibujos = the drawings
• plural thing liked → gustan

So:

• Me gusta el dibujo... = I like the drawing...
• Me gustan los dibujos... = I like the drawings...

Yes, it is completely natural and correct in Spanish from Spain.

A speaker from Spain would understand it immediately. Depending on context, they might also say things like:

• Me encanta el dibujo de mi hermana. = I love my sister’s drawing.
• Me gusta mucho el dibujo de mi hermana. = I like my sister’s drawing a lot.

But your original sentence is perfectly normal.
