Draw it step by step

Six steps to a princess

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

1

Start with the head and gown

Draw a circle near the top for the head. Then a big bell shape down to the floor for the gown, with a wavy bottom.

2

Add the top and sleeves

A short top joins the head to the gown. Then a round puff on each shoulder for the sleeves.

3

A crown and long hair

Draw a crown with three points on top of her head. Then let long, wavy hair fall from the crown past her shoulders.

4

Give her a face

Two dot eyes and a happy smile. She is glad you came to visit.

5

One arm down, one waving

One arm hangs down by the gown. The other arm reaches up high to wave hello.

6

Finishing touches

A ruffle across the gown, a dot on each side point, and a shiny gem on top. Now this princess is yours.

Go further

Now draw a princess on an adventure she planned herself.
