Fairy step-by-step drawing tutorial: step 1

1. Begin the cartoon fairy outline by drawing her face. Draw two curved lines, then enclose a partial circle resting on each. These will become the fairy's eyes.

Draw two successively smaller circles inside each eye and shade between them. Draw short lines around the eyes to indicate eyebrows. Then, use curved lines to draw the eyebrows, nose, and smiling mouth.

Enclose the slipper by drawing a curved line across the top of the foot. Then, draw "X" shaped lines on the lower legs to form the ribbons used to tie the slippers.
