How to Draw Princess Leia

1. Begin by drawing a curved line to outline Leia's face.

2. Sketch a rounded rectangular shape above the face using curved lines. Notice that the lower side of the shape is made from an overlapping series of short lines. Then, detail the shape with lines of different lengths. This indicates one side of Leia's hair, which is parted in the middle.

3. Use curved lines to outline the irregular shape that is the other half of Leia's parted hair. Again, texture it with curved lines.

4. Uses a series of overlapping curved lines to draw the bun on the side of Leia's head. Notice that the bun is in three twisted sections. Texture each section with curved lines.

5. Use curved lines to outline the bun on the opposite side of the head. Again, notice the three sections and the texturing of the curved lines.

6. Extend two short lines beneath the head, forming the neck. Use curved lines to enclose a curved shape at the base of the neck, forming the collar of the garment. Notice the overlapping lines at the sides of the collar, indicating ripples in the cloth. Then, extend lines outward, forming the shoulders.

7. Draw curved lines downward from the shoulders, outlining the arms. Use curved lines to outline the torso. Then, use a number of lines to indicate the seams at the shoulders and the lay of the material throughout the garment.

8. Detail Princess Leia's face. Draw large, round eyes, each with a small circle inside them. Use curved lines at the top to contour the eyes, and short lines beneath to indicate eyelashes. Enclose a curved shape above each eye, forming the brows, and use a curved line to indicate the nose.

9. Use curved lines to draw the smiling mouth, the teeth, and the chin.
