Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle to outline the shape of the head.
Step 2
Draw a curved line through the circle to outline the shape of the chin and ears.
Step 3
Erase the remaining guides of the original circle.
Step 4
Extend a long and short line from the head to form the neck and arms. Draw a short line parallel to the long line to form the underside of the arm.
Step 5
Extend two curved lines from opposite sides of the neck to form the other arm.
Step 6
Draw two parallel curved lines connecting each arm. Notice how the curves curve inward at the elbows and wrists.
Step 7
Draw a hand at the end of each arm. Use narrow, overlapping “U” shaped lines to form the fingers and detail the palm with short lines.
Step 8
Draw a “U” shaped line around the neck to form the collar. Extend a curved line down from each shoulder to outline the torso.
Step 9
Draw two parallel curved lines at the bottom of the torso, forming a belt. Extend a curved line outward from each side of the waist. Then connect these lines with a long wavy line, forming a skirt.
Step 10
Costume details. Draw wavy, scalloped lines along the neck and sleeves of the dress. Draw a wavy line along the bottom of the dress, then short curved lines, extending from this line upwards and down from the waist. This adds texture to the folds of the fabric.
Step 11
Draw legs. Extend an “L” shaped line from the skirt, forming a bent leg at the knee. Draw a line parallel to each part of the “L” to outline the other side of the leg. Then, extend two parallel, slightly curved lines down from the knee of the bent leg. This outlines the distal leg.
Step 12
Give the fairy some shoes. Close the bottom of each leg with a curved line. Draw a flower shape on the toe of each shoe by connecting small “U” shaped lines. Draw a curved line from the flower to the ankle to form the upper part of the shoe.
Step 13
Draw ribbons on each wrist. Draw three curved lines on the arm, then extend two sets of curves from each. Connect each set of lines using two straight lines. Then, use straight, parallel lines to draw a wand with one hand. Place the wand at the bottom by drawing a small circle.
Step 14
Draw hair. Use a long, curved line to outline the hair from the crown of the head to the shoulders. Around the face and at the ends of the hair, enclose the shape with several curved lines of varying lengths. Allow lines to meet at points. Draw curved lines along the length of the hair to add detail.
Step 15
Draw a star on top of the wand, surrounded by dots of fairy dust.
Step 16
Decorate the dress with small stars and circles.
Step 17
Draw a circle for each eye. In the eye, draw a small oval and a curved line at the bottom; ball between oval and line. Draw curved lines above each eye, forming the eyelids and eyebrows.
Step 18
Draw a wide “U” shaped line to form the smiling mouth. Draw curved lines below the mouth to create a dimple for the chin and use another curved line to form the nose. Draw a “U” shaped line in the ear to add detail and draw a star-shaped flower behind the ear.
Step 19
Draw the wings by extending long, curved lines from the head and lower back, so that they meet at one point. Draw a smaller, parallel shape in each wing. Draw rounded wings below them using curved lines.
Step 20
Color your fairy.
