Today, we’re going to learn how to draw Katara, a cool character from the show “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Get your drawing stuff ready, and let’s have some fun!
Before we start, make sure you have these things:
1. Draw two big circles for Katara’s eyes, leaving a little space between them.
2. Inside each eye, add a tiny circle at the top left for a shiny look.
3. Color the big circles, but keep the tiny circles white to make her eyes sparkle.
4. Add a few eyelashes to each eye to make them pretty.
1. Draw a small curve in the middle of her face for her nose.
2. Below the nose, draw her mouth with a gentle curve.
3. Draw a small curve under her eyes for her chin.
1. Draw a “J” shape on one side of her face, touching her chin.
2. Draw another “J” shape on the other side, facing the opposite way.
3. Connect the tops of the “J” shapes with a curve over her head.
4. Add a “C” shape on each side for her ears.
1. Draw a diagonal line from her chin down to make her robe.
2. Connect the bottom with a bumpy line for the fur on her robe.
3. Draw two lines across her waist.
4. Make a “Y” shape for the top of her robe.
1. Draw two short lines from the bottom of her robe for her legs.
2. Connect them with a curved line at the bottom.
3. Draw her feet with sideways “U” shapes.
1. Draw a line from her shoulders for her sleeves.
2. Connect it back to her robe and draw her arm going down.
3. Do the same for the other arm, making sure both sleeves look layered.
1. Draw a curve from the side of her head for her braid.
2. Draw another line next to it and connect them at the bottom.
3. Add diagonal lines to show the braid’s texture.
1. Add eyebrows above her eyes to finish her face.
2. Look over your drawing and fix anything you want.
