How to Draw a Princess

Step 1: The head

Near the top of your paper draw an egg for the head, a little narrower at the chin.

Tip Leave room above for the crown and most of the page below for the gown.

Step 2: The face

Draw 2 round eyes with black dots and a tiny eyelash each. Add a U nose, a smile, and eyebrows.

Step 3: Hair and fringe

Draw the hair hugging the head, a finger above the head line, with a fringe across the forehead.

Step 4: The crown

On top of the hair draw a crown with 3 tall points and a curved bottom. Add a round jewel.

Tip The middle point is the tallest.

Step 5: Neck and ball gown

From the chin draw 2 neck lines down to puffy sleeves. Draw a wide bell skirt down to the floor.

Tip The skirt is much wider than the shoulders.

Step 6: Sash and frill

Draw 2 sash lines across the waist. Draw 1 long line across the skirt near the bottom for a frill.

Step 7: Bent arms

From each sleeve draw an arm bent at the elbow, getting thinner as it reaches in to the wrist.

Step 8: Hands

On each wrist draw a round hand. The hands nearly touch in the middle, held in front of the gown.

Step 9: Long hair

Start beside each eyebrow. Draw long hair curving down and out, and stop behind each elbow.

Tip Both sides match, like curtains behind her shoulders.

Step 10: Ground

Along the bottom of the gown draw a long ground line that sticks out past both sides.

Step 11: Yellow crown

Colour the crown yellow and its jewel pink.

Step 12: Peach skin, pink cheeks

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

Step 13: Pink gown, purple sash

Colour the gown pink, around the arms and hands. Colour the sash and the frill purple.

Step 14: Brown hair

Colour all the hair brown, around the crown and the face. Go over your lines and your princess is done.
