On this page you will find easy instructions on how to draw princess step by step for kids. My princesses have a simple but beautiful design, easy to color and most importantly, draw very quickly. Along with the tutorial, I’ve also included a few free princess coloring pages that you can print out and have your students color in! There is also a helpful video tutorial that you can follow if you want to watch me draw the princess step by step.
Step 1. Face
To start your one-minute princess, draw a three-quarter oval for the face as shown in your right image. Follow up by drawing two rounded ovals for the eyes, small pointed nose, and smiling mouth. Be sure to include the “smile line” on each side of the mouth—my kids will complain if I forget to draw them!
Step 2 Faces
Continue filling in the details of the face by drawing eyelids, each complete with two eyelashes. You should now have a pretty little face looking back at you.
One of the simplest hairstyles you can do is to part your long hair. To draw the parting line, simply draw three lines running down the front of the forehead, just above the eyes to represent the hair. Then draw another line perpendicular to these three lines to represent the breakup. On the other side of this line, draw another line that is a bit more rounded to show the hair on the other side of her head.
Step 3 Hair
For me, the hair is the most fun part of drawing a princess. In this case, our princess has long and straight hair. To create her hair, simply draw three to four lines growing out from her head and fringe.
Obviously, not every kid wants a princess with long, straight hair. More often than not, they’ll want a princess in their own image, which means you may be asked to draw short curly hair, braids, ponytails, dumplings, or more.
Step 4 Neck, Shoulders and Crown
Now it’s time to sketch the neck, shoulders and crown!
The neck is easy, as all you need to do is draw two lines pointing downwards, one from the ears and one from the chin.
Shoulders extend from the neck, reaching beyond the outer hairs. Along with the shoulders, you can also draw on the top part of the dress. In this case, I gave her a fur necklace with a heart pendant in the middle. I also gave her a pearl necklace to make her look even more regal!
Step 5 Upper Body
How you draw the upper body really depends on the type of body that you want to give your princess. I like small breasts and medium waist so they don’t look like Barbie dolls. (We don’t want to send the wrong message to our children!)
If you want to draw a baby princess, all you have to do is flatten the bust by drawing two lines down the waist. If you like, you can belt your princess like I did here, or you can leave it as is.
Step 6 Arms
Drawing a princess’s arm can be tricky, especially in terms of the exact length. A few times I ended up with a princess that resembled Mr. Tickle in the series Mr. Men, or Stumpy! Try to bring your arms to just below the waist to look as natural as possible.
If finger painting makes you nervous, you can always draw a “glove hand” like I did with this princess. Kids don’t seem to mind either way!
Step 7 Outfit and final details
This is the part where you can go wild! Costumes exist in many forms, so just use your imagination. In this case, I drew a long, wide dress decorated with a favorite symbol, the heart. To make the dress look like it’s running along the ground, draw a slightly wider oval base like I did here. I have also included some wavy layers so my little ones can change the color of the dress.
The shoes can come out from underneath the dress as is the case with this princess, or you can dress her up in striking heels. I often ask my students which one they prefer.
