Step 2: Draw the Princess’s Dress

Below the head, draw two short straight lines going down. Then connect them with two “V” shapes to form the top of her dress.

Then, add a flowing, bell-shaped gown by drawing curved lines that go outwards and then back inwards towards the bottom.

Step 3: Add the Ears and Arms

Draw two tiny half-circles on the sides of her head for ears.

From the sides of the top of her dress, draw two small ovals for her sleeves. Then add two long curved lines coming down from the sleeves for her arms.

Step 4: Draw The princess’s Hair and Crown

Draw wavy, flowing lines on either side of the princess’s head. Add curved lines inside the hair for more details.

On top of her head, draw a horizontal curved line for the base of the crown. Then, draw three small triangles on top of that line to make the points, and finish with small dots on top of the triangles to give your crown a realistic look.

Erase any part of the face outline where the hair attaches to make it look connected.

How to Fix Common Princess Drawing Mistakes

  • Dress is Too Narrow: A princess usually has a wide, elegant dress. If your dress looks too straight, go back to Step 2 and make the curved lines wider.
  • Crown is Too Small: The crown is a very important part of a princess’s look. Make sure you draw it big enough to look majestic, as shown in Step 4.
  • Hair is Stiff: Princess hair often flows beautifully. Remember to use wavy lines to give it movement and volume, as in Step 4.
  • Missing Facial Features: Don’t forget the big, round eyes and sweet smile to give your princess a kind expression, as shown in Step 5.

Helpful Princess Drawing Tips and Tricks For Kids

  • Start with Light Lines: Begin by sketching lightly with your pencil so it’s easy to erase and make changes as you go.
  • Think About Poses: This princess is standing, but you could also draw her waving or holding a flower to make your drawing more interesting.
  • Practice Drawing Curves: This drawing uses a lot of curved lines for the dress and hair. Practice drawing smooth, curved lines to make your princess look graceful.
  • Add Sparkle! Once you’ve colored your princess, you can add some glitter or sparkly markers to her crown and dress to make her extra royal!
  • Have Fun with Details: You can add extra details to her dress, like frills or ribbons, to make your princess unique.
