How to Draw a Fairy in a Jar

Step 1: The jar

In the middle draw a tall glass jar with rounded bottom corners. On top draw a flat lid.

Tip Make the jar big and tall; the fairy floats inside it.

Step 2: The head

Near the top, inside the jar, draw a small egg for the head, a bit narrower at the chin.

Tip Leave the lower half of the jar for the knees and legs.

Step 3: Face and pointed ears

Draw 2 round eyes with dots, a nose and a smile. Add 2 pointed ears on the head.

Step 4: Hair, fringe and bun

Draw hair over the head with a fringe. Add a round bun on top.

Step 5: Neck and dress

Draw 2 neck lines. From the left one draw a dress with sleeves and a wavy hem, ending right.

Step 6: Wings

Behind each shoulder draw a wing with 2 round lobes, a big one up and a smaller one below.

Step 7: Arms and hands

From each sleeve draw an arm down beside the dress, bending at the elbow out to a small hand.

Step 8: Legs and knees

Under the hem draw 2 legs hanging close together, each with a round knee, getting thinner at the ankle.

Step 9: Pointed slippers

On each ankle draw a little pointed slipper like a teardrop, toes pointing down and out.

Tip She is floating, not standing.

Step 10: Glow, shine and bottom

Draw 3 tiny 4-point stars round her and a short shine on the jar's left side. Curve the jar bottom.

Tip The curve at the bottom makes the jar look round.

Step 11: Pink dress, yellow hair

Colour the dress, the slippers and a little circle on each cheek pink, and the hair and bun yellow.

Step 12: Peach skin

Colour the face, ears, neck, arms, hands and legs peach, around the pink cheeks. Leave the eyes white.

Step 13: Sky-blue wings, grey lid

Colour the wings sky blue, around the arms and hands, and the lid grey. Leave the glass white.
