Draw it step by step

Six steps to a fairy

New lines are purple. Lines you already drew turn light.

1

Start with the head and dress

Draw a circle for the head. Under it, draw a dress shaped like a flower turned upside down.

2

Two big top wings

One big round wing on each side, swooping up and out from her back.

3

Two smaller wings

A smaller wing under each big one, pointing down and out.

4

Give her a face and hair

Two dot eyes and a smile. Add a bun on top and a wavy fringe.

5

Arms and legs

Two arms reaching out between the wings, and two legs dangling as she flies.

6

Give her a wand

A thin wand in her hand, with a star on the tip. Now this fairy is yours.

Go further

Now draw a fairy who is the size of a ladybug.
