How to draw a boy and a girl holding hands step by step
How to Draw a Boy and a Girl Holding Hands · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The boy's head
Draw a big circle for the boy's head. Add a small round bump on the left side for his ear.
Step 3: The boy's body
Under the head, draw a rounded body with a short arm on each side. Then draw two chubby legs with a gap between them and a rounded foot at the bottom of each leg.
Step 4: The boy's face
Put two small filled dots for eyes in the middle of the head. Draw a little curved smile below them, like a tiny bowl.
Step 5: The girl's head
Next to the boy, draw another big circle a little lower for the girl's head. Add a round ear bump on her right side.
Step 6: The girl's dress
Start under her chin and draw sloping lines down for her shoulders. Make a dress shape that gets wider toward the bottom, with a gently curved hem and a short arm on each side.
Step 7: The girl's legs and shoes
Under the hem of the dress, draw two short, straight legs. Finish each one with a rounded shoe at the bottom.
Step 8: The girl's face
Add two filled dots for eyes and a small curved smile, just like the boy's face.
Step 9: Holding hands
Where the boy's arm reaches the girl's dress, draw a tiny Y-shaped curve. This joins their hands together.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a boy and a girl holding hands
- Draw the boy's head first, then start the girl's head a little lower and close beside it. Leaving a small gap between the circles keeps the two friends from running together.
- The hands are the trickiest part, so keep the lines light. Draw a tiny curved line where the boy's arm reaches the girl's dress, and let it join the two friends.
- For the dress, start narrow at the shoulders and make it wider at the bottom with a gently curved hem. Her legs stay short and straight under the hem.
