How to Draw a Greek Goddess
Draw a Greek goddess in 13 easy steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the head.
Step 1: The head
Near the top of the paper draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.
Tip Leave most of the page below for the long dress.
Step 2: The face
Draw 2 round eyes halfway down the head, with a tiny lash each. Add a U nose and a smile.
Step 3: Hair and fringe
Start on the head's left side. Draw hair over the top to the right, then curve back for the fringe.
Step 4: Long hair
From the head's left sweep long hair down to the shoulder, under the chin, and up to the right.
Step 5: Leaf crown
Draw a thin band across the forehead, side to side. Add 2 oval leaves on each side, leaning out.
Step 6: Neck and draped dress
From the chin, draw 2 neck lines down to a one-shoulder dress with a wavy hem and a wide belt.
Tip Add a wavy band just above the hem.
Step 7: Arms
From the left sleeve, bend an arm in to the tummy. From the neck, draw the right shoulder and arm.
Step 8: Fist and hand
Draw a round fist on the left wrist. From the right wrist, draw a mitten back to the wrist.
Tip Give the fist and the mitten a little thumb bump.
Step 9: Little owl
Sit an owl on the left fist: a round body, 2 ear tufts, big eyes with small dots, a beak.
Tip Keep the dots small, so each eye stays white all round them.
Step 10: Sandals and ground
Under the hem draw 2 sandals peeking out, toes pointing out. Draw a long ground line under them.
Step 11: White dress, golden belt
Leave the dress white. Colour the belt, the hem band, the sandals and the owl's beak yellow.
Step 12: Peach skin, pink cheeks
Colour a pink cheek on each side, then the face, neck, shoulder, arms and hands peach around them.
Tip Keep the eyes white.
Step 13: Brown hair, green leaves
Colour the hair brown and the leaves green. Colour the owl brown around its white eyes and beak.
