How to draw a girl sitting on the floor step by step
How to Draw a Girl Sitting on the Floor · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head outline
Draw a curved line across the top for the hair line of the head. Then draw a wide, rounded line along the bottom for the chin, with a little curl at each side for the ears.
Step 3: Body sides
Under the chin, draw two curved lines going down, one on the left and one on the right. They start at the chin and bend out a little, like the sides of a small bean.
Step 4: Crossed legs
At the bottom of the body, draw a wide, wavy line that makes a rounded loop on the left and another on the right. These are her crossed legs.
Step 5: Hands and feet
Draw two short curvy lines on her tummy for her hands, joined by a little line across her lap. Then draw two small ovals side by side at the bottom for her feet.
Step 6: Pigtails
Draw a long leaf shape hanging down on each side of the head, ending in a point. Start each one near the top of the head.
Step 7: Hair ties
Where each pigtail meets the head, draw a tiny curved line to show the band holding the hair.
Step 8: Bangs
Draw two curved lines that start at the middle of the forehead and sweep down and out to each side.
Step 9: Eyes and smile
Draw two round dots for eyes, spaced wide apart. Then draw a small smile like a letter U below and between them.
Step 10: Shirt collar
Under the chin, draw a small curved bowl shape for the neckline of her shirt.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a girl sitting on the floor
- Draw the head nice and big. Everything else is sized to fit under and beside it.
- The crossed legs can be tricky. Draw the wide wavy line first, then add the two little feet in the middle.
- Make both pigtails about the same length. Draw one, then compare the second against it before you finish.
