Steps on How to Draw a Girl

Step 1: Draw the Body Shape

Start by drawing an oval that will form the main body of the girl.

Step 2: Draw the Head

Once you have completed your outline, draw a much smaller oval for the head which is next to the body.

Step 3: Connect the Head with the Body

A. Draw a long curved line starting on top of the head and finishing at the back of the body.

B. Draw another curved line on the opposite side to complete the connection.

Step 4: Draw the Face

Draw a curved line on the left side of the head.

Step 5: Draw the Eyes, Nose and Mouth

Give your girl a facial expression. To do this, draw a tiny circle for an eye, a tiny dot for the nose, and a tiny line for the mouth.

Step 6: Draw the Girl’s Hair

Now draw the hair of your girl using long, curved lines, each one extending outward from the head. You can make the hair as detailed or messy as you want.

Step 7: Draw the Legs

A. Using four straight lines draw the legs of your girl. Make sure the lines start on the lower part of her body.

B. Add feet.

Step 8: Draw the Knees

Draw two small curved lines each one on each leg for the knees.

Step 9: Erase Pencil Marks

Once all the details are in place, you can erase the inner and outer pencil lines from your girl drawing.

Step 10: Draw the Girl’s Hand

Using two curved lines, draw one hand coming out from the left side of the body. Add fingers and a thumb on the end.

Step 11: Draw the Clothes

A. Draw a coat of your girl by adding a few curved and straight lines to her body.

B. Add a pattern to her clothes by using a cross-hatching technique.

Step 12: Draw Shoes

Draw a pair of shoes for your girl using two rectangle shapes. Then shade it with your pencil.

Step 13: Add a Skirt

Draw a tiny zigzag shape at the bottom of a girl’s coat to create a skirt.

Step 14: Outline Your Girl Drawing

Go over the pencil lines of your girl drawing to create a more realistic look.

Step 15: Add the Floor

Draw a few straight lines for the floor.

Step 16: Draw a Balloon

Give your girl a balloon by drawing an oval for the balloon and a curved line for the string.

Step 17: Outline Your Balloon and Shade it

Outline your balloon using your pencil. Then shade your balloon using a cross-hatching technique.

Step 18: Shade the Coat

Shade the coat of your girl using the same technique you used to shade the balloon.

Step 19: Add Details to Your Balloon

Draw a few small lines to add more details to your balloon.
