Step-by-Step Instructions

Sketching the Face Shape

Start by sketching the face using soft, curved lines. Create a rounded shape for the cheeks and a gentle curve for the chin. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil grip loose to ensure these lines stay light and easy to adjust.

Outlining the Hairline

Begin the hair by drawing long, flowing curved lines across the top of the head. Layer your strokes to create volume. Teacher's Tip: Think of the hair as big, soft ribbons rather than individual strands.

Adding Hair Texture

Extend the hair lines down the sides of the face. Overlap your lines to create depth and movement. Teacher's Tip: Vary the length of your strokes to make the hair look natural and bouncy.

Completing the Hair Silhouette

Finish the hair on the opposite side using sharp, pointed ends for the tips. This gives her that classic Muppet style. Teacher's Tip: Use quick, confident strokes to get those sharp points.

Drawing the Ears

Draw two rounded, elliptical shapes emerging from the hair for the ears. Add a small line inside to show the fold. Teacher's Tip: Keep the ears small and tucked into the hair to maintain her proportions.

Refining the Hairline

Add a few more curved lines behind the ears to blend them into the hair. This makes it look like the ears are growing out of her head naturally.

Drawing Expressive Eyes

Create her dreamy eyes by drawing three nested circles. Add thick eyelashes and a curved eyelid line. Teacher's Tip: The thick lashes are key to her glamorous look—don't be afraid to make them bold!

Adding the Nose and Mouth

Sketch a rounded rectangle for the nose, adding 'C' shapes for nostrils. Use 'U' shapes for the jawline. Teacher's Tip: Keep the nose centered between the eyes for a balanced look.

Drawing the Neck and Pearls

Draw the neck and shoulders, then add a string of circles for her iconic pearl necklace. Finish with the collar of her outfit. Teacher's Tip: Make the pearls different sizes to show perspective.

Adding Color
