How to Draw Elsa
Step 1: Draw the head
Start by drawing a big, curved line near the top of your paper.
This will be the top of Elsa’s head. Think of it like drawing a rainbow or a soft hill.
Make it smooth and round. Elsa has a graceful face, so keep it elegant!

Step 2: Draw the eyes
Time to add Elsa’s eyes! In the middle of the head, draw two large, almond-shaped ovals.
These will be her eyes. Inside each oval, draw a smaller circle for the iris and an even smaller circle for the pupil.
Add a tiny white dot in each pupil to make her eyes sparkle.
Elsa has big, expressive eyes, so make them stand out!

Step 3: Add the nose and mouth
Now, let’s give Elsa a nose and a smile!
Below the eyes, draw a small, pointed triangle for the nose.
Then, draw a curved line underneath the nose for the mouth.
Make it a soft smile. Elsa is kind and gentle, so her smile should look warm and friendly.

Step 4: Add the hair
Now, let’s give Elsa her iconic hair!
On either side of the head, draw two long, flowing lines that curve outward and down.
These will be her locks of hair.
Make them wavy and soft, like ribbons blowing in the wind. Elsa’s hair is magical, so make it look full and beautiful!





Step 5: Draw the upper body
Next, let’s draw Elsa’s upper body! Below the head, draw a curved line for her shoulders.
Then, long lines and connect them to form her hands.
Finally, draw her delicate fingers.


Step 6: Draw the skirt or pants
Time to add the bottom part of Elsa’s outfit!
Below the dress or top, draw a long, flowing skirt by drawing two curved lines that flare out at the bottom.
If you want to draw pants instead, make them sleek and fitted.
Elsa’s outfit is stylish and magical, so make it look graceful!


Step 7: Add details to the dress and cape
Now, let’s add some magical details! On the dress or cape, draw a snowflake pattern.
You can also add sleeves and gloves by drawing curved lines for the arms and small ovals for the hands.
Elsa’s outfit is full of intricate details, so take your time and have fun with it!

Step 8: Add boots and snow texture
Finally, let’s give Elsa some boots!
At the bottom of the skirt or pants, draw two small, curved shapes for the boots.
Add some lines or patterns to show the texture.
Then, add shading around Elsa to show snow or ice. You can draw tiny sparkles or snowflakes around her to make it look like she’s surrounded by magic!
Adding Colors and Details:
Now it’s time to bring Elsa to life with colors! Use light blue, white, and silver for her dress and cape. Here’s how:
- Hair: Color Elsa’s hair light blonde or platinum.
- Eyes: Make her eyes bright blue, with a darker blue for the iris.
- Dress and Cape: Use light blue and white for the dress and cape. Add silver or white for the snowflake patterns.
- Boots: Color the boots dark blue or black.
- Skin: Use a light peach or tan color for her skin.
Add some shading or sparkles to make Elsa look even more magical. Have fun with it!

And there you have it—a beautiful, magical Elsa that’s ready to bring some Frozen fun to your paper!
