Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a fantastic character to draw — her triple-bun hairstyle is instantly recognisable and her staff and desert-scavenger outfit have distinct, drawable shapes. Great for kids aged 7 and above.

🖍️ What You Need

  • Pencil and eraser
  • Brown and grey markers or pencils
  • Black pen for outlines
  • Optional: blue for her lightsabre in later films

How to Draw Rey Step by Step

  1. Draw the head and face — oval face, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, serious but kind expression.
  2. Add Rey's hair — her iconic triple-bun hairstyle: three round buns pulled back tight, with a simple hairline at the front.
  3. Draw the body — a slender torso with her wrapped desert scavenger tunic. Add a cloth wrap across the midsection.
  4. Draw the arm holding the staff — her staff extends taller than her, held diagonally.
  5. Add the other arm — slightly bent at the side.
  6. Draw the legs and boots — straight trousers tucked into tall wrapped boots.
  7. Add fabric wrap details — layered wrap lines across her arms and midsection suggest her scavenger bandages.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: The three buns in Rey's hair are the key to making her recognisable instantly. Draw them as three overlapping circles pulled toward the back of the head — do this before anything else.
