Shizuka is the sweet and clever friend from the Doraemon series, often seen with her tidy hairband and pink dress. Drawing her step by step is a lovely way to practise anime-style faces.

🎨 What You Need

  • A4 white paper
  • HB pencil
  • Black fine-liner
  • Pink, black, skin-tone and red colouring pencils
  • Eraser

How to Draw Shizuka Step by Step

  1. Draw a soft oval for Shizuka's head with a small pointed chin at the bottom.
  2. Add her hair around the head — short bob length with a slight inward curl at the ends.
  3. Draw a hairband across the top of her head, slightly arched.
  4. Inside the face, draw two large oval eyes with eyelashes on top, and small dots inside for the pupils.
  5. Add thin curved eyebrows above the eyes, a small triangular nose and a sweet smile.
  6. Below the head, sketch her body in a short pink dress with puffy short sleeves.
  7. Add thin arms with neat hands and her legs with short white socks and small red shoes.
  8. Outline with fine-liner, erase pencil marks, and colour her hair black, dress pink, hairband red and shoes red.
💡 Parikshet's Tip: Keep her eyes large and bright with a small highlight inside — that is what gives Shizuka her gentle anime expression.

🌟 Did You Know?

Shizuka Minamoto is known for loving baths, the violin (which she plays badly) and sweet potatoes — small details that make her a beloved Doraemon character.

Tips for a Pretty Shizuka Drawing

  • Use pale pink shading on her cheeks for a soft glow.
  • Add a tiny shine on each strand of hair using a white gel pen.
  • Keep her dress simple — Shizuka's charm is in her sweet, tidy look.
  • Practise her smile separately; it should be small and gentle, not wide.
