A magic mirror with a smile and a tiny crown is a friendly thing to draw. It is built from ovals, a zigzag crown, a few curly lines and four-pointed sparkles. If you can draw an egg shape and a swirl, you can draw this.

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: The mirror frame
Start with a big, tall oval for the outside of the mirror, a little wider at the bottom than at the top. Leave a small gap at the top, where the crown will sit.
Step 3: The glass
Inside the frame, draw a smaller oval that follows the same shape. Leave an even gap all the way around so the frame looks like a thick border.
Step 4: The little crown
On top of the frame, draw a short curved line for the crown's band. Then draw a zigzag with three points above it, and close the sides down to the band.
Step 5: The happy face
In the middle of the glass, draw two round dots for eyes, side by side. Add a small curved smile below them, like a little bowl.
Step 6: Top curly arms
On each side of the frame, near the top, draw a line that goes out and curls down into a loop like a swirl. Make the left and right curls match.
Step 7: Bottom curly arms
Lower down, start from the frame and draw a long, sweeping line that curves outward and ends in a small curl, one on each side. On the right side, add a tiny four-pointed star right at the end of the curl.
Step 8: Neck and base
Under the frame, draw a short neck shape that gets a little wider at the bottom. Then draw a flat oval around its bottom for the base to stand on.
Step 9: Sparkles and dots
Draw a four-pointed star with curved sides in each top corner. Finish with one tiny dot on each side of the frame, between the outer and inner ovals.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a magic mirror
- Draw the outer oval first and the inner oval second, keeping the gap between them about the same all the way around.
- The curly arms are the trickiest part. Draw a gentle curve out from the frame, then let it curl like a snail shell, and make the second one match.
- Draw the crown zigzag with the middle point tallest. Keep the three points about the same width apart.

Magic mirror fun fact for kids
Long ago, people made mirrors by polishing metal such as bronze or copper until it was shiny enough to show a face. Ancient Egyptians used polished copper mirrors more than 4,000 years ago.
Questions about drawing a magic mirror
What shapes do I need to draw a magic mirror?
You need two ovals, one inside the other, a zigzag for the crown, and some curly lines. A flat oval on the ground makes the base, and four-pointed stars make the sparkles.
How do I make my magic mirror look cuter?
Give it a happy face with two round eyes and a small smile. Add the sparkles in the top corners, and make the curly arms big and bouncy.
How do I draw the curly arms so they match?
Draw one side first, then look at where it starts, how far it reaches and where the curl ends. Copy those spots on the other side. Light pencil lines help you fix mistakes.
