Step-by-Step: Drawing a Ballerina Doll

Step 1: Draw the head

Draw a circle for the face. Add a small circle on top for the hair bun.

Step 2: Add the face

Draw two small eyes, a tiny nose and a smile. Add pink cheeks.

Step 3: Draw the body

Under the head, draw a small oval for the body.

Step 4: Draw the tutu

Around the waist, draw a wide flat skirt made of curved scalloped lines, like a flat plate with wavy edges.

Step 5: Draw the arms

Draw two arms curving upward in a soft arc above the head, or out to the sides.

Step 6: Draw the legs

Under the tutu, draw two long thin legs, one straight and one bent.

Step 7: Add the pointe shoes

At the end of each leg, draw a pointed slipper with ribbons tied around the ankle.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Ballerina Doll

Use pink or white for the tutu and a slightly darker pink for the shading between the layers. Colour the hair brown or blonde and the shoes light pink.

Tips for Drawing a Ballerina Doll

  • Draw the tutu as a series of overlapping scallops. That gives it fluff.
  • Curve the arms gracefully. Straight arms look stiff.
