Want to learn how to draw a little girl? Just use circles and add simple lines to draw a good portrait.

How to draw a little girl?

1. Draw a circle for the head, two lines below it, and a curve connecting their ends to form the body part.
2. Draw two straight lines below the body, one long and one short, and then connect the ends of the two straight lines with a “C”, which is used as the foot. Then draw a straight line from the intersection of the head and body outward, and draw a small circle at the end of the straight line, which is used as the hand, the same drawing method for both hands.
3. In the upper part of the head, draw a curve from the middle to each side, and at the end of the curve, draw an oval to each side of the circle, which serves as the hair. There are many different hairstyles for little girls, so children can choose their favorite hairstyle to draw.
4. Below the hair, draw two circles, a small black dot inside each circle, which is used as the eyes; below the eyes draw a small right angle as the nose; below the nose draw a curve as the mouth.
5. Choose your favorite color to color the little girl.
6. Finally, paint the little girl’s eyelashes.

When spring arrives, the fields outside are blooming with a variety of flowers. Some children enjoy drawing spring flowers, and observing the shapes of the various petals before drawing them is much easier. We show four different types of spring flower sketches below.

How to draw flowers in simple sketches

1. Start by drawing a simple four-petal flower. In a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, draw four end-to-end semicircles as petals. The four semicircles try to be the same size, so you have a neatly arranged petals. Then draw a black dot in the middle as the heart of the flower and you’re done!
2. Change the black dot in the middle of the four-petaled flower to a cross and it becomes a clover! If you turn the black dot in the middle of the four-petaled flower into 3 small black dots, the shape of the flower changes again.
3. Make a bouquet by connecting several four-petaled flowers with straight lines. Make a bush by drawing several four-petaled flowers in a circle and some leaves between the petals.

How to draw cherry and plum flowers in simple sketches

1. Cherry and plum flowers both have five petals. Because the number of petals is odd, you can draw the 5 petals as shown in the picture, in the order of drawing the top, then the left and right sides, then the bottom, to make it much easier. If the petals are not evenly spaced when drawing 5 petals, don’t be too concerned; sometimes the bottom two petals appear smaller than the other petals, which is rather lovely.
2. Cherry flower petals differ from plum flower petals in that the margins of plum flowers are rounded, but cherry flower petals are jagged. Another distinction between cherry flowers and plum flowers is their central section.

How to draw lily and rose in simple sketches

Compared to the flowers above, the lily of the valley and the rose are a little more difficult to draw.

1. Lily: Draw a curve first, then 3-4 inverted hearts above the curve, with an oval on each side of the end as a leaf.
2. Rose: Draw a circle first. Then draw three crossed straight lines inward from three points around the circle, enclosing a rounded triangle in the center of the lines and connecting the midpoints of the triangle’s three sides with lines to form a tiny triangle. Draw an even smaller triangle inside the little triangle using the same method, and you’re done. The lines may be stiff when you first start drawing a rose. You’ll be able to draw slightly curved lines with a few more practice sessions, and the finished rose will be more visual.

 

The easiest way for young children to learn how to draw a tiger is the printing method. Using the circular feature of toilet paper tubes, you can print and draw a cute tiger.

How to draw a tiger?

Materials: toilet paper tubes, cardboard, black paint, markers (black and white)

Steps of drawing a tiger:

1. Dip the toilet paper tube  in black paint and emboss onto the cardboard with a little force, then lift the tube gently and leave a circular pattern on the cardboard, which serves as the head of the tiger.

2. Use a black marker or crayon to draw two small gates above the circle, which are equal in size and symmetrical on the left and right. Draw a small black dot inside each door, which serves as the tiger’s ear. Inside the circle, draw three triangles below the gates, three triangles on each side of the circle and paint the inside of all the triangles black, these are the stripes of the tiger. Then draw two small black dots in the middle of the stripes for the eyes.

3. Draw an oval below the eye with a white marker, and draw a black dot and a small curve at the upper end of the oval, which serves as the mouth and nose of the tiger.

4. Draw three straight lines on each side of the mouth for the beard.

5. Draw more tigers in the same way. The details of the tiger can be different, such as the eyes are drawn as small doors or hearts or ticked, and the mouths are drawn as half circles or curved hooks or small circles, using them to represent the different forms of the tiger’s demeanor.

If your kid draws a picture for their mother on Mother’s Day, she should be very happy and the scene is very warm and touching. Now let’s draw a tulip sketch as a Mother’s Day gift!

How to paint a tulip?

Materials: paper, watercolor pencils or crayons (pink, green, red)

Draw a tulip step by step:

1. Draw a big “U” with a pink watercolor pencil or crayon.

2. Draw a straight line from the right endpoint of the “U” shape to the left, which is labeled a for ease of explanation; then draw a straight line from the left endpoint of the “U” in the direction of the a line, which is labeled b; then draw a right angle from the midpoint of b to the right side, and the outline of the tulip flower is drawn.

3. Take a green watercolor pencil or crayon and draw a long straight line from the bottom of the tulip flower downward as the stem. Draw a sharp-edged oval on the left side of the stem as the leaf.

4. Then paint the tulip flowers pink and the stems and leaves green.

5. Last step, use a red watercolor pencil or crayon to trace the outline of the tulip’s flower again to give the petals a layered look, and a tulip sketch is complete.

Dinosaur is a generic term for a creature that is the most famous ancient creature within the scope of human knowledge. Nowadays, dinosaurs are extinct, but this does not stop humans from studying them, and a large number of dinosaur images appear in literature and film, which have become part of modern popular culture, so kids can learn about them from many sources. In today’s animal sketch, we use the easiest way to draw a dinosaur sketch.

Steps of drawing a dinosaur:

1. Draw a semicircle for the body of the dinosaur and a tilted egg shape for the head of the dinosaur at the top left of the body.

2. Draw two straight lines to connect the head to the body, which serves as the neck.

3. From the right end point of the diameter of the semicircle in step 1, draw two curves upward to form a half horn-like shape, which serves as the tail of the dinosaur.

4. Below the body, draw four rectangles as the four legs of the dinosaur.

5. Inside the head, draw a short line for the mouth and a circle above the mouth for the eyes.

6. Then draw a row of triangles as the dinosaur’s spines on the neck and the diameter of the semicircle in step 1.

7. Finally, color the dinosaur with crayons. This makes it simple to draw a dinosaur.
