Draw it step by step

Six steps to a wizard

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

1

Start with the head

Draw a circle near the top of your paper. Wobbly is fine — a wobbly circle makes a friendlier wizard.

2

Add the tall hat

One wide curve on top of the head for the brim. Then two lines climbing up, and a tip that flops over.

3

A face and a long beard

Two kind dot eyes, a round nose, and a smile. Then a fluffy beard from his cheeks down to a point.

4

Draw the long robe

Two long lines from his shoulders all the way to the floor, and a wavy hem. Add a wide sleeve and a hand on one side.

5

Raise the wand

A wide sleeve lifting up on the other side, a round hand, and a straight wand pointing at the sky.

6

Finishing touches

A star and a moon on the robe, and sparkles at the wand tip. Now this wizard is yours.

Go further

Now draw a wizard whose spell went a little wrong.
