How to Draw an Easy Little Mermaid Ariel

1. Begin the easy Little Mermaid Ariel by drawing her face. Use curved lines to outline her eyes, nose, and smiling mouth. Shade triangular eyelashes near the tops of the eyes and round pupils inside.

2. Use long curved lines to outline the face and hair, noticing how they overlap. Use shorter curved lines for the ear, neck, and eyebrow.

3. Use long curved lines for the sides of the arm, and shorter ones for the shoulder, collar bones, and fingers. Enclose two oval shapes to form the seashell bikini top.

4. Draw two lines across the bikini to give it a seashell pattern. Then draw the remaining arm and hand, the sides of the torso, and one side of the tail. Shade a small dot to indicate the belly button.

5. Use overlapping curved lines to draw the opposite side of the tail. Where it connects to the torso, enclose two rounded shapes.

Then, use pairs of curved lines to enclose the two points of the flipper at the end. Band the junction of the tail and flipper.

6. Use long and short curved lines that meet at jagged points to finish Ariel's hair. Then, enclose a large rock beneath her and two smaller rocks alongside it.

7. Draw some seaweed on both sides of the rocks. Use long curved lines that meet at gentle points.

8. Texture Ariel's hair with curved lines, then begin drawing her best friend, Flounder the fish. Use curved lines to draw his face - his eyes, eyebrows, nose, and mouth.

Shade partial circles in each eye and double a line back on itself to form his fin. Then, use a long curved line to enclose his heart-shaped body.

9. Use curved lines to draw Flounder's fins, stripes, and tail. Draw a few ovals to indicate bubbles.

Your easy Little Mermaid Ariel outline is now complete. Color your cartoon character. Ariel has red hair and a green tail. Flounder is yellow with blue stripes and fins.
