Fairies are fairy-tale creatures that are often used in the folklore of European countries. They are also called "good people" or "little people". Fairies are also introduced as characters in movies and cartoons - Cinderella and her fairy godmothers, tooth fairies, Tinker Bell.
There are also separate series about the lives of little characters - Winx and Charodeika. You can draw a fairy-tale creature using a general template, but for children, a drawing that they associate with their favorite character is more suitable.
Pencils, paper and supplies
The following set of tools will help children draw a fairy:
- pencil. It is better to use with soft and hard lead;
- a clean sheet of paper;
- eraser and sharpener.
The classic set of tools can be diversified with compasses and rulers. If the child is small, you can use figures and other things for outlining.
Simple Fairy for Kids
Fairy (drawing for children in pencil, standard template) is a winged, beautiful creature. Most often, a female image with a beautiful appearance is represented.
Step by step process
Algorithm for performing work:
- On a clean sheet of paper, use a compass or any other handy tool to draw a circle. It will be the basis of the character's head.
- Attach an unfinished, slightly curved triangle to the bottom. You can also draw it using additional elements, using an isosceles triangle as a base.
- On each side, where the dress and head intersect, draw small circles with a soft pencil. Visually divide the circles into 4 parts and draw them. Erase 3 of 4 with an eraser to form neat dress sleeves.
- On the circle that forms the head, in its upper part, draw 2 arched lines that connect to each other approximately in the middle. In this way, you can separate the hair area from the face area.
- Draw the legs at the bottom of the dress. The fingers need to be extended, as fairies are flying creatures.
- Separate the feet from the legs with a light arched line, separating the shoe area. You can add small bows or flowers - as laces or fasteners on shoes.
- On the left side of the drawing, where the dress sleeve is drawn, add a semicircle line. Draw another one next to it, forming a tapering figure. Draw 5 fingers at the end.
- Visually measure the middle of the palm. Draw a straight line along the marked line, which will be the back face of the cube. Draw the remaining lines to form all the surfaces of the figure. On the right side, draw part of the fingers and palm, which will embrace the resulting element of the drawing.
- The lower part of the dress should be duplicated to give it a neater and more beautiful appearance. The gift should be painted and decorated as desired.
- Add a magic wand to the fairy's right hand. It's easy to draw - just draw a slightly slanted line with a star at the end.
- Draw a crown above the head. It can be depicted in the form of a shell - with a rounded top and a narrow base. You can also make it with a top in the form of sharp zigzags and a wide base - your choice.
- Behind the fairy's back there should be wings. They resemble butterfly wings and have the shape of an elongated oval. In total, you can see 4 elements of the wings.
- The final stage is drawing the fairy’s face and filling in individual elements with a pencil.
The finished drawing can be colored as you wish or left as is.
Fairy Tinker Bell
Fairy (drawing for older children with pencils) Tinker Bell is a cartoon character. She is the most recognizable cartoon character (in her category). In the 1953 cartoon, she is presented as very tiny - only 13 cm, so you can draw her in full size.
Step by step process
Step-by-step process of completing the work:
- Drawing of the character begins with the head. To do this, oval outlines are created on a clean sheet of paper, and then the figure is divided by 2 curved lines - in the middle of the face (vertically) and at eye level.
- Visually divide the top of the head (from the place where the line is drawn to the top point) into 2 parts. Draw another line similar to the one drawn earlier. It will be the border of the character's hairstyle.
- Draw an ear under the eye line, on the side of the head. Its shape resembles an oval, sharpened at the top.
- Draw the shape of the hairstyle as shown on the line.
- On the left side of the drawing, add a small circle using a compass.
- Draw the outlines of the face from the shapeless figure. The chin should be slightly narrowed, cheeks and cheekbones protruding. In the designated places of the eyes, make a slight notch, and then outline the curves of the forehead with smooth lines.
- Make "notches" on the initial lines. They should outline the outer and inner corners of the eyes, mark the location of the lips and nose. The approximate location of the facial elements can be seen in the drawing.
- Place the fairy's eyes along the marked line. Tinker Bell has a distinct look and large eyes, shaped like sunflower seeds. Also draw the borders of the eyelid, the eyeball and the pupil.
- Just below the hair are the eyebrows. The fairy's eyebrows are neat, small and quite thin.
- Place the nose and lips on the marked "notches". The nose looks like an unfinished drop. Small in size, neat.
- The upper lip is thinner than the lower lip. The upper lip has a fairly deep curve. You can draw the fairy both smiling and relaxed.
- The main part of the facial elements is ready – you can start drawing the hair.
- The hairstyle is rather sloppy, which is explained by the constant movement of the character.
- The strands fall in curls on the forehead and face of the fairy. From the previously drawn circle, a lush bun is formed, tied with a thin ribbon into a beautiful hairstyle.
- Inside the ear, add a short line to form the auricle.
- On the lower part of the head, measure the approximate location of the outer corners of the eyes. From this point, draw a thin, neat neck. Add a little torso - arms, not reaching the elbow, chest.
- Remove all unnecessary elements of the drawing using an eraser.
The finished drawing can be colored with a simple pencil, adding shadows or texture to the image using hatching, or with pencils and paints.

- From the shoulder line, draw 2 rectangles, gradually narrowing downwards. Finish the figures in the area of the previously drawn waist. Erase the partitions between the figures of the arms and the previously drawn shoulders.
- Separate the clothes from the body lines. Draw the bottom edge of the top near the waist with several curved lines.
- Using a continuous, smooth line, draw the top of Stella's skirt, as shown in the picture.
- Finish drawing the top. To do this, draw the side outlines of the top and the neckline with slightly curved lines.
- Add randomly scattered curls above the head. The hairstyle should continue the contours of the head from above, adding volume.

Useful tips
When drawing characters, you can use the following recommendations:
- When drawing a person with wings, it is necessary to maintain the proportions of the body. If a cartoon character with a certain body structure is not taken as a basis, then it should be given a more "human" appearance;
- when drawing a face, you can use auxiliary lines. They will help determine the symmetry of the features, and will also help you easily determine the correct position of the eyes, mouth and nose;
- to make the drawing more real, you can add individual shadows and colors to the face. Light strokes showing the texture of the skin and the location of certain elements can easily make the image better;
- It is also necessary to carefully monitor the drawing of the face in profile. Portraits should be distinguished by special detailing of eyelashes, lips and eyes, since all attention is drawn to these elements of the drawing;
- If cartoon characters are drawn, a certain template must be taken into account. Such characters have a sharp chin, a low forehead, small lips and nose, wide cheekbones and pronounced, large eyes;
- You can train your imagination in a simple way. To do this, just draw the outline of the character on paper, and then let the child draw clothes and any wings to taste. You can also let the child carry out his plans without any extra difficulties;
- It is quite easy to get a beautiful pencil drawing. After finishing the work, you can outline all the lines with a thin black marker, a sharp pencil or a gel pen.
Using these guidelines, you can easily draw a fairy with either a human body or a cartoon character.
