- Hi everyone!
Welcome to the Disney Princess Club.
I'm Nathalia and this is my friend Amy.
- Hi, my name's Amy Mebberson, and I am a Disney artist
and the designer of these
Disney Princess comic minis by Hasbro.
- Today we are going to be doing something that I love,
which is doing art.
And by that I mean, Amy's gonna be showing me
how to do a step by step tutorial
of how to draw these Disney Princess comic minis
in this style.
- Now we have 12 to chose from here,
so we've got a lot.
So I'm actually going to let you pick
who we're going to draw today, Nathalia.
- Okie dokie, let's see here.
How 'bout this one?
- Okay.
- Okay, let's see what we got.
- See who we got.
- I got Aurora! - Excellent!
Oh, Aurora's a sweetie pie,
she is so fun to draw.
- What do you love most about drawing Aurora?
- Drawing Aurora?
You're gonna find out when we start drawing,
so let's get-- - I'm excited!
- Yeah, let's get going!
All right, so we're back and are you ready to draw Aurora?
- I'm ready, I'm born ready.
(laughing)
- Okay, let's get started.
All right, so we're starting off,
we're gonna start off with just a red pencil.
This is just to get us started
and lay in some basic shapes first.
Now most things, we're gonna start with just a circle.
- [Nathalia] A circle? - [Amy] Yeah!
- [Nathalia] Does it have to be a perfect circle?
- No, not really.
I mean you can see from my lines,
I'm being very rough here.
Okay, now the next thing we're gonna do,
is we're gonna put just a line down the middle
or just to the side of the middle,
and that's gonna help us place her nose,
nose and her mouth.
Okay, excellent.
And then we're gonna put another line across,
just below the middle of the circle.
And that's gonna help us place her eyes.
Now I generally like to put the nose in first.
Now Aurora is, Aurora is very delicate,
she's very elegant.
She has very fine features.
So, she's got just a little pointed nose like that,
nothing very fancy.
It's like a little V turned on it's side.
Now we're gonna place her eyes.
Now again, Aurora has generally,
they're kind of egg-shaped but they've got a point,
she's got like a cat eye.
(laughing)
- So, if you just kinda draw an,
you can kind of imagine an oval.
And an oval, and I'm drawing very lightly here,
you may not be able to see this.
But it's just helping me.
And you got a line at the top there
for the top of her eye.
Oh, that's great!
Yeah, you're doing great.
- [Nathalia] Thank you. - [Amy] Yeah.
And it's almost kinda like a teardrop.
It's turned on it's side.
So she's got these beautiful cats eyes.
I'm gonna go like that and across like that.
And then do the same on the other side.
So it's, you're kind of drawing a flat oval
that points out like that.
- [Nathalia] Oh. - Yeah.
Some princesses have rounder eyes,
some of them have sort of narrow eyes.
And that just shows every princess is different, you know?
They've all got their own special look.
So there's kind of a little started here.
Aurora, again she has very refined,
she's got fantastic cheek bones.
- She does.
- She has fantastic cheek bones.
- If you couldn't tell.
- Yes. (laughs)
So, right where that line on the bottom there,
we're going to pop a line outside there.
And it's going to go kind of like that.
Can you see what I'm doing there?
- [Nathalia] Yeah! - Yeah?
And her chin is going to be down here,
a little further down, so.
(upbeat music)
Gonna go up like that and around like that.
So we're just kind of working in where her chin goes.
Now you don't see Aurora's ears
because they're under her hair.
But, if you can imagine she's got an ear on this side.
Kind of again, in the middle of where that line went.
Just imagine, just imagine.
So I'm only drawing this very very light.
But that's just to help me figure out
where the other side of her jaw is.
And that's just gonna swoop down like that
and connect at her chin at the bottom.
I'm gonna put her mouth in.
Now, she's gonna be smiling here.
- [Nathalia] Why not? - [Amy] And it's just,
so we're just gonna do the basic shape
of the mouth right now.
So it's kind of like a,
sort of like curvy triangle.
So the top lip's gonna go straight across like that
and then the bottom is just gonna come out like that.
We're gonna add her lips in a minute.
This is just the shape of her mouth.
Now Aurora has very fine lips, again,
she's very delicate, she's very delicate.
She's very...
So we're gonna just block these in like that.
She's got a little cupid's bow at the top there.
And then we can fill in the bottom lip here,
'cause it'll look, she'll look much better
when she has a bottom lip.
And you can see it's starting to come together here.
- [Nathalia] I do. - [Amy] Yeah, there you go!
- [Nathalia] How's that looking?
- [Amy] Yeah, so you're putting on her lipstick basically.
So, what's your favorite thing about Aurora?
- What I love most about Aurora
is that we're very similar.
She's very kind, she likes to help others.
She's a, she loves to explore the woods.
She's adventurous.
Ooh, she loves pink just like me!
(laughing)
- Obviously I love Aurora because she also loves blue.
- Oh yeah, she has a very different color combination
of what color she enjoys.
- Yes, I mean that moves,
fairies had many many many discussions about that.
(laughing)
- I'm starting to see her face come together.
- [Amy] It's starting to come together, yeah.
All right, now let's put her eyes in.
Now, again, just big circles.
- [Nathalia] Big circles.
- You can have her look in any direction you like.
She could be looking out this way,
she could be looking at you.
I'm gonna have her looking off to the side,
kind of down here,
with my pencil.
So there we go.
Now, she needs some eyebrows.
- She does.
- (laughs) So the eyebrows just kind of go
above her eyes and just like that.
Again, very very delicate.
Very delicate brows, she doesn't have thick ones.
Then you just kind of,
just a straight line which then curves down on the outside,
down towards her ear.
Now, you asked me what my favorite part
of drawing Aurora is?
I'm gonna tell you.
It's her hair.
- Oh!
- Aurora has-- - She does have nice hair.
- The most, one of the most famous hair in Disney.
Now this is the fun part.
So, she's got bangs but she has very special bangs.
First one, she's got this big thing called a cowlick.
So we're gonna, kinda the best way to do it
is to kinda start at her ear,
and we're gonna go swoosh, like that.
- [Nathalia] Oh, okay.
- [Amy] You can start at this end--
- [Nathalia] Swoosh.
- [Amy] Excellent, like that.
You can start it here and go the other way if you like,
but this is generally the way I do it.
And it's swoosh.
- [Nathalia] I like the swoosh.
- Yeah, she just grew up with this big lump of hair
that just points up that way. (laughs)
So, and then her other side of her bangs are just,
their just little,
so we're just gonna do another line that curves around.
And can you see there?
That's going to form her bangs.
And she's just got little,
just little puffy bangs that stop
just above her eyebrow, like that.
'Cause she's got very thick hair,
so her hair is,
the actually top of her head is actually up here somewhere.
So, we're gonna do a little dot up there
and that's gonna form the back of her head.
- [Nathalia] Okie dokie.
- Yeah, and you just join that up there like that.
Aurora's hair covers her ears.
So she's got these two big kind of curls
that pop down the side here.
So we're just gonna go yoink, like that.
- [Nathalia] Oh, yoink.
- Yoink, like that on each side.
They kinda rest on her shoulders.
And then we're just going to draw another line
on the other side to connect that up.
So it's like two big curls hanging down.
Now let's draw here neck.
- Okie dokie.
- [Amy] So again, she's got a,
start kinda under her chin here.
She's got a long, long slender neck, as you can see.
And her shoulders are just gonna go
whomp and whomp, like that.
- [Nathalia] Whomp!
- Yeah.
So we're just gonna do a big V at the bottom
just to connect it up.
You see there?
Excellent.
And she's got a necklace.
Which again, is kind of a V shape.
So that's gonna go there and there.
Now let's put the rest of her hair in.
Now again, her hair is really run to draw
'cause it's just this big kind of,
big bunch of swooshes. - [Nathalia] It's like whomp!
- [Amy] Whomp, like that.
- [Nathalia] Wow.
- [Amy] Whomp.
And were gonna add some curls at the bottom here.
I'm gonna put another.
- [Nathalia] Oh yeah.
- [Amy] Yeah, it kind of divides into big curls,
big bouncy curls at the back.
And to finish it off we're just going to,
imagine where her tiara's going to go.
Now, I said the top of her head was roughly there,
and that's where her crown's gonna sit.
Now there's the middle of the crown there.
And it's kind of triangle-shaped,
so it's just gonna come down like this on her head,
and there's a little notch in the middle there
which we can't really see right now.
But you can just see the edge of it.
And then the other half will go down like that.
So those are the lines that we're doing just to get started.
So now, we're gonna put that down
and we're gonna pick up our other pencil.
And now this is where we can go in
and just darken the lines
so that everything's a little bit easier.
So, again, you've done kind of all the hard work now,
and the rest is just putting dark lines
around the edges of things
just to make it all nice so you've got a finished drawing.
And this is where we could also finish her eyes as well.
So, I'm gonna start off by putting her,
her eyelashes in, her thick,
she's big on eyeliner.
(laughing)
I don't know where she gets it in the forest,
but hey, you know, you can find all sorts of things.
Or she just has really pretty, thick, natural brows.
And so, but her,
so these big circles right now are her irises.
And Aurora has beautiful kind of,
almost violet part purple eyes.
She's the only princess who kind of has purple eyes.
I'm just very lightly coloring this in.
And then we're gonna put her pupil in,
which is basically just another circle
just inside the one we just colored in.
Just a slightly smaller circle.
Okay, and then we can go and just color that in
a little bit darker, you see?
And there you go and you can start to see her eyes.
So obviously that part of her eyebrow
would be underneath her hair, we probably wouldn't see that.
So I'm just gonna darken her eyebrows.
I mean, the lipstick looks good just red
on it's own, but you know.
- [Nathalia] I like the lipstick.
- [Amy] Yeah.
So you could just leave that the color you did it
or you can go in and darken it.
Look that is awesome Nathalia, this is looking beautiful!
- [Nathalia] You as well, yours in beautiful.
- So we are kinda pretty much nearly done here.
Here we go!
There is Aurora, Princess Aurora.
All right, so I think we're just about done here, Nathalia.
But there is one thing we do have to do
and we have to sign our work.
- Sign out work?
- So yeah, you just sign your name
at the bottom there like that.
And Aurora is finished.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a pretty signature, yeah.
- Yeah, you as well!
- Thank you, this was so much fun!
- This was, thank you for teaching me
the step by step tutorial, Amy.
It was wonderful.
And hopefully you guys got to follow along.
- Yeah, and we hope you guys had fun.
And honestly, it's okay if it's not perfect
because that's part of the journey of drawing
is that you can always just draw another one.
And each drawing's gonna get better every time you do it.
- Yeah, just like mine.
I'm very proud of my work and I wasn't expecting it,
but I'm excited to see what else I can do.
And you can check out our other
step by step how to draw videos.
And once again, thank you Amy.
- Thank you Nathalia, this was fun.
- Bye everyone! - Bye everybody!
