You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by sketching the ballerina’s face. Using a long, curved line, note the bulge of the chin.
Step 2
Sketch the ballerina’s hair. Use wavy lines to frame the edges of the face and meet at the forehead. then, draw another wavy line parallel to each line on either side of the face. Let them meet at one point, forming curls.
Step 3
Draw the ballerina’s neck, using two short lines below the head.
Step 4
Use a series of overlapping curves to outline the top of the head. Draw an upward line from the top of the forehead to indicate the part. Then draw a ribbon on the hair. Use an irregular circle to form a knot in the center of the bow and rounded triangles for the sides of the bow. Draw curved lines outward from the knot to indicate the folds in the fabric. Then, stretch a curved line to form the ribbon and connect it to the top of the head with a short line. Enclose the circle of the bun with overlapping curves.
Next, outline the ballerina’s bodice. Draw a “U” shaped line around the neck and use the curved lines to outline the open arms, sides, and bottom of the garment.
Step 5
Draw the ballerina’s arm. Use long curved lines to outline the arms and narrow “U” shaped lines to enclose the fingers.
Step 6
Draw the other arm. Again, use long curved lines and narrow “U” shaped lines. Notice that the arm seems to go over behind the lock of hair on one side of the face.
Step 7
Draw a flared skirt. Extend long, curved lines outward from the base of the torso. Connect them with a long wavy line. Then draw curved lines protruding from both sides of each wave to represent ripples in the fabric.
Step 8
Draw the ballerina’s legs. Outline each leg with a long, curved line, allowing it to duplicate itself again. Then, draw a curved line on each foot to represent the ballet slippers. Tie each leg with a pair of curves and an “X” shape, forming the ribbons used to tie the shoelaces.
Step 9
Detail of the ballerina’s face. Use curved lines to draw eyebrows, nose and mouth. For each eye, first glue a double-ended teardrop shape. Then draw several small circles in a row. Ball one to indicate students.
Step 10
