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: Sides of the head
Draw the left and right sides of a big round head, a little wider than it is tall. Leave open gaps at the top and at the bottom.
Step 3: Horns and headband
Draw two curvy horns on top of the head, each shaped like a bent triangle that points up. Then draw a gentle curved line across the head from one side to the other for the cap edge.
Step 4: Face
Draw two small round dots for eyes. Under them, draw a happy curved smile like a little bowl.
Step 5: Collar and body
Under the head, draw a wavy, ruffled collar that goes from one side of the chin to the other. Then draw a tall rectangle with rounded bottom corners hanging from the collar for the body.
Step 6: Bow tie
At the top of the body, draw two small triangles that touch in the middle, like a bow tie.
Step 7: Arms, skirt and tail
Draw a long oval on each side of the body for the arms. Draw a wavy line along the bottom from one side to the other for the hem. On the left, draw a curly tail that ends in a little loop.
Step 8: Feet
Draw two flat ovals at the bottom for shoes, with a short line above each one for the legs.
Step 9: The pitchfork
Draw a tall straight line next to the devil for the handle. At the top, add a U shape with a prong on each side and one in the middle. Finish with a small circle on the handle where the hand holds it.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a little devil
- Sketch the head circle lightly first so both horns sit evenly on top.
- Draw the pitchfork handle with a ruler or the edge of a book, then add the U shape at the top.
- For the tail, draw a slow curve and finish with a small loop so it does not get too tangled.
