How to Draw a Dress Up Box

Step 1: Box and ground

Draw a wide box with soft bottom corners. Add a long ground line under it.

Tip Leave lots of room above the box for the dressing-up things.

Step 2: The back rim

Start at the left corner. Slant up, draw a line across, slant down, and stop at the right corner.

Tip Now the box looks open, with no lid.

Step 3: Two big eyes

On the front of the box, a bit to the right, draw 2 big egg eyes. Add black dots.

Tip Leave room on the left for the cape.

Step 4: Smile and cheeks

Under the eyes, draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Add an oval cheek at each end.

Step 5: Wizard hat

Above the box, draw a tall cone with a bent tip. Draw a flat oval brim round its bottom.

Tip The front of the brim hides inside the box.

Step 6: Band and star

Near the bottom of the hat, draw a curved band line. Draw a big star above it.

Step 7: A crown

Beside the hat, start on the box edge. Zigzag up and down for 3 points and stop on the edge.

Tip Make the middle point the tallest.

Step 8: Crown jewels

On each point of the crown, draw a ball. Draw a diamond gem in the middle.

Step 9: A magic wand

Start on the edge at the right corner. Draw a thin leaning stick and a big star on its end.

Step 10: A cape

At the left corner, draw a cape flopping down to the ground. Give it a wavy hem and 2 folds.

Tip The cape hides the left edge of the box.

Step 11: Yellow things

Colour the crown, its 3 balls, the wand star, the hat star and the hat band yellow.

Step 12: Red and pink

Colour the cape and the gem red. Colour the wand stick and the 2 cheeks pink.

Step 13: Purple hat

Colour the wizard hat and its brim purple, around the yellow star and band.

Step 14: Brown box

Go over your lines. Colour the box brown, inside too, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.

Tip Colour the dressing-up things first and the box last.
