How to Draw Malala Yousafzai

1. Begin the Malala Yousafzai outline by drawing the girl's eye. Use a pair of curved lines that don't quite meet at the corners to outline the eye.

Enclose two partial circles inside the eye; shade the smaller one to indicate the pupil.

2. Draw the remaining eye. Again, use a pair of curved lines that don't quite meet at the corners to outline the eye.

Enclose two partial circles inside the eye; shade the smaller one to indicate the pupil. Contour the eyelids with a curved line above each eye.

3. Shade thick, pointed eyebrows above the eyes. Then, use curved lines to sketch the nose. Shade small triangles at the corners of the eyes to indicate eyelashes.

4. Detail the nostrils using short curved lines that double back on themselves. Then use three long curved lines to sketch the lips. Draw short lines at the corners of the mouth.

5. Use a series of long, overlapping curved lines to sketch Malala's hair and the edges of her hijab or headscarf.

6. Extend one of the lines along her neck so that it spirals around the top of her head, enclosing the top and sides of the hijab.

7. Draw long curved lines to continue the scarf as it hangs around her neck and to sketch her shoulders.

8. Texture Malala's hair with curved lines, and contour around her nose with short curved lines.

9. Contour the cheekbones and cloth with curved lines. Shade a few freckles on her chin and cheek.

Your Malala Yousafzai outline is now complete. Color your portrait. Malala has tan skin, brown eyes, and dark brown hair. She has often been photographed wearing pink or burgundy hijabs.
