Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sketching the Head Shape

Pencil sketch of an oval head shape with two eye circles for Draculaura.

Draw a soft lemon shape to serve as the head. Inside, sketch two circles for the eyes. Teacher's Tip: Keep your pencil pressure light so you can easily erase your guide lines later.

Step 2: Defining Facial Features

Detailing the nose and pouty lips on the Draculaura sketch.

Add an oval for the nose and define the mouth with a wavy line. Use a curvy 'M' shape for the upper lip and a deep curve for the lower lip to give her a pouty expression. Teacher's Tip: Focus on the symmetry of the lips to make her look expressive.

Step 3: Adding Character Details

Adding eyebrows, eyelashes, the fang, and heart-shaped face outline.

Sketch thick, arched eyebrows and triangular eyelashes. Add a small triangle for her signature fang and outline the face with a loose heart shape. Teacher's Tip: The heart-shaped face is key to her unique Monster High style!

Step 4: Hair and Earring Placement

Sketching the hair outline and earring details on the side of the head.

Draw a large semi-circle over the head for her hair. Add a teardrop shape for the ear, including two internal lines and two circles for her earring. Teacher's Tip: Use smooth, sweeping motions for the hair to make it look voluminous.

Step 5: Jewelry and Neckline

Drawing the neck, necklace, and intricate jewelry details.

Add a U-shape beneath the earring, connecting it with rectangles. Sketch the neck and add eight small circles in a flower pattern. Teacher's Tip: Take your time with the small circles; they add a lovely, intricate touch to her outfit.

Step 6: Adding Ruffles

Adding cloud-like ruffles around the neck area.

Sketch lines and triangles around the flower shape. Add ruffles using bumpy, cloud-like lines. Teacher's Tip: The 'bumpy' lines don't need to be perfect—the more organic they look, the better the ruffles will appear.

Step 7: Body and Arms

Drafting the body outline and arm positions.

Complete the ruffles and outline the body with two curves. Draw an uneven Y-shape beneath the ruffles and use diagonal lines to suggest the arms. Teacher's Tip: Keep the arm lines simple to maintain the cartoon aesthetic.

Step 8: Finalizing Details

Adding hair curves, buttons, and texture details to the clothing.

Add wide curves for the hair. Sketch dots inside the ruffles and add a button detail with a circle and two dots. Teacher's Tip: Adding these small textures makes the drawing look much more professional.

Step 9: Outlining and Finishing Touches

Final ink outline of Draculaura with the heart cheek mark.

Add curved lines to the hair and a small heart on her cheek. Use a black pen to outline your drawing, filling in the pupils and eyelashes. Teacher's Tip: A steady hand when outlining makes all the difference—go slow!

Step 10: Bringing Her to Life with Color

Final colored version of Draculaura with purple and lavender tones.

Use black and violet for her hair, and various shades of purple for her outfit. Use lavender for her skin, and leave the collar and earring white. Teacher's Tip: Layer your purples to create depth and make her look like the real character.
