[ad#draw]
Step 3
– Draw circles within the eyes.
– Outline the eyes.
– Draw a banana shaped mouth.
– Draw a #3-like shape at the bottom of the nose and at top of the head.
– Draw a letter ‘D’ shape at the bottom of the face.
Step 4
– Draw comma shaped eye brows.
– Use nose’s guidelines to draw the rest of the nose.
– Draw ovals for the fingers on the left hand.
– Draw ovals to draw the arms.
Step 5
– Draw a #6-like shape for the finger on the left hand.
– Draw an oval for the right hand.
– Draw wiggly lines for the sleeve line on the left hand.
– Draw some basic shapes for the hair.
Step 6
– The hair is very complicated but if you take the time you can notice that there are basic shapes within the hairs, such as letters and numbers. I highlighted the hair in different colors so you can also recognize the different shapes within the hair.
– Draw wiggly lines around the left elbow and wrist…as well as the right wrist.
– Draw letter ‘U’ shapes for the fingers on the right hand.
Step 7
– The hair is very complicated…just keep looking for basic shapes within the hair…such as letter ‘s’ shapes, lowercase letter ‘e’ shapes, #3 shapes, and wiggly lines in general.
– Add some more details to the shirt.
Step 8
– Add letter ‘U’ shaped nails to the right hand.
– Add some more basic shapes to the shirt.
Step 9
– Darken / thicken some lines that need it. Then erase guidelines.

I love it! used this tutorial for the nose. I realized that all Disney princesses’ noses are a basic style, I daresay I’m rather amazing at the other features. Actually, the one I’m drawing now turned out like Elsa and Anna mixed. Anyway, amazing drawing and thanks!
