How to Draw Belle from Beauty and the Beast

1. Use curved lines to sketch Belle's face. Notice the "V" shaped hairlines at the forehead and in front of the ear.

2. Next, sketch Belle's neck and hair. For the neck, extend two curved lines downward from the face - one from below the ear and the other from the chin. Then, use long, curved lines to enclose the wavy shape of the hair. Notice how the lines of the outline overlap each other. Then, detail the texture of the hair using curved lines.

3. Draw the collar of Belle's dress. Extend a pair of long, curved lines from the chin and the base of the neck. Allow them to meet at a point.

4. Draw Belle's hair, tied back in a ponytail. Beneath the hair at the base of her neck, enclose a partial circle to form the knot of the bow. Then, enclose an irregular shape to form the side of the bow. Texture the contours of the bow using curved lines. Then, outline the ponytail using long, curved, overlapping lines.

5. Draw Belle's shoulder. Extend a curved line from the collar. From this line, extend a pair of lines downward to form the strap of the overdress.

6. Detail Belle's neck with a small, "U" shaped lined. Then, draw her remaining shoulder. Extend a curved line from the ponytail. Then, draw a pair of lines downward to indicate the strap of the overdress.

7. Begin to detail Belle's face. Use a series of curved lines to outline the irregular curved shape of the eye. Enclose three round shapes within it, each smaller than the last. Shade between the two smallest to indicate the pupil. Draw short, thick lines at the corner of the eye to indicate lashes, and a curved line above the eye to form the lid. Finally, enclose a pointed, curved shape above the eye to indicate the brow.

8. Continue to detail the face. Use curved lines and a small shaded oval to form the nose. Then, draw the remaining eye and brow as before.

9. Use a series of curved lines to craft Belle's open lips.
