How to draw a girl with long hair with a pencil
Drawing that can be done in cartoon style is not a difficult job, although it may seem so. Cartoon style is a simple and interesting way to draw a beautiful drawing.

A girl with long hair is drawn step by step as follows:
- First, you need to draw a circle for the future oval of the face.
- Next, you need to make a division of the face. Draw a vertical axis of symmetry with the hero's face tilted to the left.
- Draw a horizontal axis in the center of the circle, this axis is intended for future marking of the eyes. Draw the marking of the ears, approximately in the middle of the head.
- In the jaw area, lengthen the circle a little so that the shape resembles a rounded square.
- From the oval of the face, draw a long vertical axis without tilt; this axis is intended for the symmetry of the future body markings.
- Having measured a quarter of the face oval, start drawing the hair. Having marked the parting, start by drawing smooth wavy lines, placing the hair on the face. It is better to start drawing the hair without touching individual strands, limiting yourself to simple shapes before starting the general detailing.
- Outline the neck and shoulders. Start drawing the neck with parallel lines that create, in comparison with the oval of the face, a thin shape that arcs into the shoulder. Draw a small circle in place of the shoulder.
- Mark the location of the arms and body. The arms should be as long as two ovals of the face (start marking the length from the end of the head). Having marked the length of the arms, it is necessary to divide the marked space in half. At the half mark, also draw a small circle marking the elbow, and also at the end of the arm length, draw an oval marking the future palm. Connect these elements (the circle of the shoulder, elbow and palm) with segments.
- At the place of the future body, you need to make a mark in the form of a square, expanding towards the end.
- Moving on to the face, draw 2 circles in the center.
- Between the eyes, approximately towards the end, depict the nose as follows: draw a circle, from which, on the left side, draw a line depicting the length of the nose.
- From the end of the nose to the end of the jaw, that is, in the middle, depict a smile with an arc, at the ends of the arc add small circles hinting at a smile.
- Above the eye mark, draw two arcs – the future eyebrows.
- Start outlining the clothes. To mark the clothes, first draw the collar, then move on to drawing the sleeve, drawing it as a circle that gathers into lace at the end. From the circle, draw a continuation of the sleeve in the form of a drop, then draw the end of the sleeve. After drawing the sleeve, draw the palm. Draw the palm as follows: from the end of the sleeve, draw two lines, from the left - continue to draw the line of the thumb, from the right line, draw the curve of the fingers in an arc and connect it with the curve of the thumb. Next, divide the palm into fingers, gradually drawing them.
- Start drawing the waist line from the sleeve, at the end of the curve of the waist draw a belt in the shape of a triangle, then draw a straight line of the skirt.
- Refinement of facial features. Make the upper and lower eyelids brighter, then draw the pupils and iris of the eyes, not forgetting about the highlights. Darken the line of the eyelids gradually, preferably with soft pencils, lightly connecting the lower and upper eyelids at the outer corner of the eye. Complete the look with eyelashes. Mark the auricles on the ear. In place of the nose on the right side, draw a small arc depicting the nostril. Erase unnecessary lines.
- Refinement of hair. Draw curls falling on the face, then draw a smooth twist of curls along the length of the hair. Some curls overlap others, mark such curls as darker than the rest. At the ends of the hair, separate the curls from the total mass of hair and draw each curl separately.
- On the hair (on the left) depict the fingers of the hand as ovals, and depict the last, most visible finger as a slingshot covered by hair.
- Detailing of clothing. On the collar, depict lace with wavy lines, under the lace, repeat the curve of the collar with another arc. From the collar to the center of the belt, depict a corset, connected with threads in the shape of an "X" and tied with a bow. On the sleeves, depict lace in the same way as on the collar. Also mark the folds on the sleeves where the sleeves are pulled together.
- Shading. Shade the face where the hair falls on the face, shade the auricle, mark the tip of the nose with light shading, also shade the pupils and make a smooth transition of color on the iris of the eye. Shade the neck and hair near the neck with a soft pencil, also shade some bends in the hair and folds in the clothes.
