Please see the drawing tutorial in the video below
You can refer to the simple step-by-step drawing guide below
Step 1
Begin by sketching the ballerina’s face. Use a long curved line, paying attention to the protrusion of the chin.
Step 2
Sketch the ballerina’s hair. Use wavy lines that 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. Allow them to 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 curved lines to outline the top of the head. Draw a line upward from the top of the forehead to represent that part. Then, draw a ribbon tied in the hair. Use an irregular circle to form a knot in the center of the bow and rounded triangles for the edges of the bow. Draw curved lines outward from the knot to indicate folds in the fabric. Then, extend a curved line to form the ribbon and connect it to the top of the head using a short line. Enclose the bun’s circle using overlapping curved lines.
Next, sketch the bodice of the ballerina’s flared skirt. Draw a “U” shaped line around the neck and use curved lines to outline the arm opening, sides, and bottom of the garment.
Step 5
Draw the ballerina’s arms. Use long curved lines to outline the arms and narrow “U” shaped lines to enclose the fingers.
Step 6
Draw the remaining arm. Again, use long curved lines and narrow “U” shaped lines. Note that the arm appears to pass behind the lock of hair on one side of the face.
Step 7
Draw a tutu skirt. Extend long curved lines outward from the base of the stem. Connect them using a long wavy line. Then, draw curved lines rising from both sides of each wave to indicate ripples in the fabric.
Step 8
Draw the ballerina’s legs. Outline each leg with a long, curved line, so that it is square, forming one supporting leg and one raised leg. Then, draw a curved line across each foot to represent the ballet slipper. Tie each leg with a pair of curved, “X” lines, forming the ribbons used to lace the sandals.
Step 9
Detail of the ballerina’s face. Use curved lines to draw the eyebrows, nose, and mouth. For each eye, first draw a double-winged teardrop shape. Then draw many smaller circles in succession. Ball one refers to the student.
