1. Begin with a Smile: Draw a little smile right in the middle of your paper.

2. Add Her Eyes: Draw two big circles for her eyes, one on each side of the smile.

3. Make Them Shine: Inside each eye, draw a tiny circle in the top right corner. Color the big circles but leave the tiny ones white.

4. Add Eyelashes: Draw small lines on the top of each eye for her eyelashes.

Step 2: Glasses and Hair

1. Draw Her Glasses: Draw another circle around each eye for her glasses.

2. Outline Her Head: Draw a big U-shape starting from one side, curving down and back up to the other side.

3. Add a Guide Point: Put a small dot in the middle of her head to help with the next step.

4. Create Her Hair: Draw an upside-down V above the dot, then add wavy lines on both sides for her curly hair.

Step 3: Hat and Ears

1. Add Her Ears: Draw a letter “C” on one side and a backward “C” on the other for her ears.

2. Draw Her Hat: Start from one ear, curve up to meet the hair, and then curve back down to the other ear. Add short lines on each side and connect them with a curve on top.

3. Include a Flower: On the left side of the hat, draw a small circle and add U-shaped petals around it.

Step 4: Body and Arms

1. Draw Her Neck and Body: From her chin, draw two lines going down to make her neck and body.

2. Add Her Arms: Draw two lines coming down from her body for her arms.

3. Hands and Purse: Draw curves for her hands holding a purse. Connect them with a line for the purse handle and add curves for the purse shape.

2. Add the Collar: Draw a V shape at the top of the dress for the collar and a U-shape for her neck.
