How to Draw a Valkyrie

Step 1: Egg head

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

Tip Leave most of the page below for the dress and shield.

Step 2: The face

Below the middle of the head draw 2 eyes with a black dot and a lash. Add a nose, smile.

Step 3: Round helmet

Start on the left of the head above the eyebrows. Draw the helmet over the head, down to the right.

Step 4: Helmet wings

On each side of the helmet draw a wing pointing up. Give its outside edge 3 soft feather bumps.

Step 5: Neck and dress

Draw 2 neck lines. From the left one draw the dress down to a wide hem, back to the right.

Step 6: Breastplate

On the chest draw the breastplate: a flat top under the neck and a soft point at the bottom.

Step 7: Long hair

On each side start under the helmet. Draw the hair out past the cheek and down. Stop on the shoulder.

Start left of the shield. Draw a long ground line under both boots, stop past the right boot.
