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: Face and bonnet
Draw a big circle for the face. Then draw a larger oval around it for the bonnet, so the two shapes sit close together and meet near the chin.
Step 3: The long dress
Under the chin, draw a long line down the right side of the dress, then curve it along the bottom. Add a short line going up from the bottom on the left side.
Step 4: Bun and bangs
Draw a small round bump on top of the bonnet for a bun. Then draw a wavy line across the top of the face for the curly bangs.
Step 5: Glasses, smile and bow
Draw two small circles for glasses with a dot in each, and join them with a short line. Add a little smile below, then a wavy collar with a bow and two ribbon tails at the neck.
Step 6: Arms and hands
On the left, draw a bent arm down the side of the dress and finish it with a small circle for the hand. On the right, draw a curvy sleeve reaching out from the collar with a small circle hand at the end.
Step 7: The magic wand
Draw a short straight line going up and out from the right hand. Top it with a small star.
Step 8: A magic swirl
Next to the wand, draw a curly swirl that ends in a little hook, like a sparkle of magic.
Step 9: The pumpkin
At the bottom left, draw a wide round shape for the pumpkin. Add two curved lines inside for the ridges, then a little curled stem on top.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.
