How to Draw a Fairy — Let’s get started!
Step 1 – Draw the fairy’s head.
First, we are going to draw the fairy’s head and. Draw a curve about three-fourths of the way up the page. On the right side, draw an ear.
We can only see one ear because she will be facing towards the left side of the page (in profile view).
Step 2 – Draw the fairy’s dress.
Let’s keep drawing the body. First, draw the neck by drawing two small, slightly curved lines. From there, draw two long slanted lines that go out and down. These form the sides of the dress. Next, connect them with a squiggly line at the bottom. Draw another squiggly line one just above the first one. Lastly, draw a V for the neckline of the dress.
Great job!
Step 3 – Complete the fairy’s arms.
We are going to draw our fairy with one arm raised and holding a wand.
On the left side, draw a bent arm. Don’t forget to draw little fingers in a fist since she will be holding a wand. The other arm can be straight with extended fingers. Check out the photo.
Step 4 – Draw the fairy’s hair.
Our fairy is going to have long wavy hair. First, draw the bangs by adding several curved C shapes. Draw curve for the top of her head. Lastly, draw several squiggly lines to show dimension of her wavy hair. Her hair should go about halfway down her back.
Great job!
Step 5 – Add the fairy’s face.
Like all of our drawings, we want our subject to look happy! Draw a big smile on her face, as well as a dot for a nose, and two dots for eyes. Lastly, add eyebrows. She should look like she’s facing the left side of the page, towards her bent arm that will be holding a wand.
Step 6 – Draw her legs.
Next, draw her legs. Simply draw straight lines and connect them at the bottom for her legs. Don’t forget to add curves that show her socks.
Step 7 – Draw her wand!
Fairies are known for waving wands! They may even be able to do magic, grant wishes, or perform healing acts with their wands.
Our fairy definitely needs a wand. In her bent arm, draw a skinny and slanted rectangle. At the top of the wand, draw a star! Great job.
Step 8 – Draw her wings!
Fairies can fly, so our fairy needs to have wings! They almost look like butterfly wings. On either side of her hair, draw a large curve. Draw two smaller curves below. Again, they should look like butterfly wings.
Refer to the photo.
Step 9 – Draw a bow.
Time to put the finishing touch on our fairy. Draw a little bow on her dress, just by the neckline. Great job!
Step 10 – Color in your drawing!
Fairies can of course look very different! Do you have a favorite story, movie, or game with a fairy? Use that as inspiration! Maybe you can even add some fairy dust arround the wand!
So, decide how you want to color in your drawing and go for it! If you feel like it, you can fill in the background. Is your fairy by water or a flower? Is the sun shining? Be creative, and as always, have fun with it!
