How to Draw a Schoolgirl

1. Begin by sketching the girl’s happy face. Use curved lines to draw her lips, nose, and eyebrows.

Enclose the rounded shapes of her eyes, slightly pointed at the corners. Then, shade a large circle within each eye to indicate the pupils.

2. Outline the girl’s face. Use overlapping curved lines to create her hair, and “C” shaped lines for the ears. Connect the sides of the face with a long, curved line. Detail the ears, tongue, and chin with short lines.

3. Use curved lines to outline the top of the girl’s head and the part in her hair. On each side of the head, enclose the round shape of a hair tie.

Then, use a series of curved lines to sketch each of the pigtails. Indicate the neck of her shirt using a “V” shaped line.

4. Draw a book in the girl’s arm. Use curved lines for the shoulder, forearm, and hand. Then, outline the book. Use straight lines for three sides of it. Then, use curved lines to form the pages.

5. Complete the arm using a curved line, then sketch the remaining shoulder, arm, and hand.

6. This student doesn’t use a backpack - she carries a messenger bag or crossbody bag instead.

Use a pair of curved lines for the strap, and a curved, rounded rectangle for the top flap. Complete the sleeve using another curved line.

7. Use curved lines to finish outlining the bag and texturing its folds. Draw a small oval on the front of it. Then, use curved lines to complete the outline of the girl’s shirt, including the shirt’s collar.

8. Use a series of curved lines to draw the girl’s skirt, scalloped at the bottom.

Then, begin sketching her legs and the irregular shape of her shoes. Draw a curved line across each leg to indicate the top of the socks.

9. Texture the material of the skirt with vertical lines. Complete the outline of the remaining shoe. Then, detail the top of each shoe with a “U” shaped line and a pair of curved lines.
