How to draw a fairy?
Children love the animated series Fairy School, so why not show them how to draw a fairy. She may look like one of the heroines of this cartoon, or it will turn out to be a little different, thanks to the artist's imagination.
This flying sorceress is depicted against the background of a fabulous nature, which makes the picture even more mysterious and interesting.
It is better to start drawing such a fairy tale from the main geranium. When the children learn to paint it separately, then they can easily transfer it to the canvas, where the background will also be depicted.
We begin to draw a fairy with a pencil by drawing a diagram. On the left, draw an oval, which will soon turn into the head of the heroine of the canvas. As you can see, the segments at shoulder level and the pelvic line are almost the same size and parallel to each other. Draw small circles on either side of these lines. Draw the same in the area of the elbow and knee folds, in the place of the palms and feet. Draw the outline of the torso, arms and legs in straight lines.
Further, the magic girl is drawn in pencil in stages as follows. Draw rectangles around the body and pelvis. Leave the waist thin. Mark the hairline on the head. Next, below, draw 3 more slightly rounded lines. They will help depict facial features. 4 sections behind the back will tell you how to draw the wings.
Indeed, in the next step, you will depict 2 upper and 2 lower wings, outlining these 4 segments behind the back of the sorceress. Draw the arms and legs as well, based on the previously created outline of these limbs.
Draw the palms and the flower she is holding with them.
In the next step, draw her tight-fitting clothes, hair, facial features and see how to draw the wings further. The veins will help make them more realistic.
In the next step, erase the auxiliary lines and paint on the main ones if you accidentally erased them.
The final step of drawing a fairy is coloring. Children like this stage very much. If it is difficult for them to draw a fairy with a pencil, then they will color it with pleasure.
Looking at the next photo, draw intricate lines. They will help us put objects in the foreground and background correctly.
We draw large mushrooms on the left, a large tree on the right. Here we will leave the place where our main character will be located. Before that, you have practiced in her image, so this should not cause difficulties.
Drawings of fairies from the Winx School cartoon series familiar to children may be the same. Draw the proportions of their bodies in the same way. Fabulous girls differ from each other only in hair color, clothes, facial features.
In the next step, depict mushrooms, trees in the background and on the sides. So that you can clearly see how to do this, the following tooltip drawing was created using a red and blue felt-tip pen.
You will have it in pencil. Erasing the auxiliary details, you will get this or a similar result.
It remains to paint the canvas and admire the final result. Here's how to draw Winx and other fairies from the famous cartoon.

Create the shoulders using a straight line. Draw similar lines on the face of the water beauty to then draw the facial features here. Draw a vertical line to keep them symmetrical.
Here's how to draw a mermaid next, in the next step. In the upper part of the face, depict perky bangs, and in the back - hair that falls to the waist.
The next photo shows how to draw Ariel's eyes, nose, lips and outer garment. Make her hair flow with a few strokes of the pencil.
