How to Draw a Great Looking Rag Doll for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the rag doll outline by drawing its button eyes. Draw two circles, and shade two small circles inside each. These are the buttonholes.
Connect them with two lines, indicating the thread holding the buttons on. Use long curved lines for the sides of the doll’s face, and a short one for its smiling mouth.

2. Draw a series of connected, “U” shaped lines across the doll’s forehead. Extend a long curved line from each side, allowing the lines to meet above.

Learn More About The Rag Doll Drawing
Rag dolls are among the oldest toys ever found. Become a part of that long history when you learn how to draw a rag doll. This easy, step-by-step drawing guide will show you how.
A rag doll or ragdoll is made from "rags" - scraps of cloth and other materials. For example, this one has buttons for eyes.
Rag dolls are usually handmade. In this picture, you can see the stitches.
The doll's hair and clothing are often influenced by where they are made - the styles of clothing and hair worn there. Their materials reflect those worn by the family. How will you customize your doll drawing?
