How to Draw a Girl Scout

1. Begin by drawing the cartoon girl’s face. Use curved lines to sketch the square, anime-like shape of the eyes. Use curved lines to detail the eyelids, eyebrows, and nose.

2. Outline the face and ears using a series of overlapping curved lines. Then, use curved lines to detail the insides of the ears and to craft the half-circle shape of the smiling mouth.

3. Use curved lines to outline the round shapes of the hair, hat, ponytail holder, and ponytails.

4. Draw a circle on the front of the hat. Then, extend curved lines below the neck and allow them to meet at a “V” shaped point. Draw “U” shaped lines on each side of the “V” to outline the girl’s collar. Next, draw the knot of the scarf using a curved line. Extend pairs of curved lines that meet at points to form the ends of the scarf.

5. Draw the girl scout’s shirt, sash, and upraised arm. Use overlapping curved lines to draw each.

6. Use overlapping curved lines to complete the raised arm and sketch the hand. Notice that three of the fingers are raised in the Girl Scout Salute. The three fingers represent the three parts of the Girl Scout Promise. The thumb and pinky remain bent over the palm. Then, use two curved lines to outline the remaining arm.

7. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the remaining hand and fingers. Draw curved lines downward from the sash. Connect them with a curved line to form the bottom of the skirt. Use another for the top of the garment.

8. Draw small circles and rectangles on the sash. These represent the badges this Girl Scout has acquired. Draw curved lines on the skirt to indicate folds in the fabric, and two curved lines below the skirt to form the leg.

9. Use a pair of curved lines to draw the remaining leg. Connect the legs at the bottom with “U” shaped lines. Then, use curved lines to outline the shape of the shoe. Draw a curved line across each leg to form the top of the sock.

Color your cartoon Girl Scout. What color should her uniform be? "Girl Scouts wear uniforms consisting of a white shirt and khaki bottom under the appropriate uniform item for their level: a blue tunic or vest for Daisies (kindergarten and grade 1), a brown sash or vest for Brownies (grades 2-3), a green vest or sash for Juniors (grades 4-5) and a tan sash or vest for the older girl levels of Cadettes (grades 6-8), Seniors (grades 9-10) and Ambassadors grades (11-12)."
