Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Expressive Eyes

Close-up of two large, circular cartoon eyes with pupils and eyelashes being drawn on white paper.

Start by drawing the doll's large, signature eyes. For each eye, draw five circles—two small ones inside larger ones to create depth. Shade the pupil to make the eyes pop. Teacher's Tip: Keep the eyes symmetrical by drawing them at the same time, moving back and forth between the left and right side.

Step 2: Framing the Face and Hair

The doll's face outline with bangs, ears, and defined eyebrows added to the previous eye sketch.

Draw the bangs using overlapping curved lines. Extend a long, smooth curve around the face to define the head shape. Add small curves for the ears. Teacher's Tip: Use short, quick strokes for the eyelashes to give them a natural, feathery look.

Step 3: Adding the Crown

A decorative tiara made of small circles added to the top of the doll's head.

Place a tiara on top of the bangs using a series of small, connected circles. Draw curved lines connecting the crown to the ears. Teacher's Tip: If your circles aren't perfect, don't worry—the charm of a hand-drawn doll is in its unique character!

Step 4: The Hair Bun and Bodice

The doll's head with a top bun and the beginning of the dress bodice and sleeves.

Add a partial circle on top for the hair bun, adding texture with light curved lines. Outline the torso and triangular sleeves. Teacher's Tip: Use a scalloped line for the sleeve edges to mimic the look of delicate lace.

Step 5: Drawing the Arms

The doll's arms and hands added to the torso, featuring scalloped lace details on the sleeves.

Add a second layer of lace to the sleeves for detail. Draw the arms using simple curved lines and 'U' shapes for the fingers. Teacher's Tip: Keep the arms close to the body to make the drawing easier to manage.

Step 6: Adding Dress Details

The dress bodice detailed with lapels and three bows arranged vertically.

Draw the dress front with rectangular lapels. Add three bows down the center, making them slightly smaller as you go up. Teacher's Tip: Use a small circle for the center of each bow to give it a 3D look.

Step 7: Sketching the Skirt

The doll's skirt added with overlapping curved lines and additional bows.

Draw the skirt using overlapping curved lines to create volume. Add three more bows near the bottom. Teacher's Tip: Make these bottom bows larger than the ones on the bodice to create a sense of perspective.

Step 8: Adding Lace Texture

Lace trim details added to the dress using scalloped lines.

Enhance the dress with scalloped lines to represent lace trim on the bodice and skirt. Teacher's Tip: Take your time with these curves—they add a lot of personality to the outfit.

Step 9: Drawing the Legs and Shoes

The completed outline of the doll including legs and shoes.

Finish the figure by drawing the legs and shoes. Use half-circles for the shoes and add a line for the sole. Teacher's Tip: Add a tiny line at the knee to show where the leg bends.
