- Hello everyone, and welcome to the Disney Princess Club.
I'm Lavinia and I'm here with my friend Amy.
- Hi, Lavinia.
My name is Amy Mebberson and I'm a Disney artist
and one of the designers
of these adorable Disney Princess Comics Minis by Hasbro.
Now we're gonna do something special today, aren't we?
- Yes, we are! And I'm super excited
because Amy's gonna give us a step by step tutorial
on a Disney Princess Comics Minis.
- Now we have a lot to choose from here,
we've got a lot of good princesses here
but you know what, I, let's just go for it.
Just, I'm going to let you pick one,
- Yeah. - and we'll see where,
see where the boxes takes us.
- Okay.
Let's do this one! (Amy laughs)
- All right, let's see who we got!
- (gasps) We got Jasmine!
- Yes!
In her, rocking her purple look today.
- [Lavinia] Pastel purple, I kind of like it.
- Yes!
Oh this is gonna be fun so let's get started.
- Definitely!
Okay so we got all of our supplies and we are set.
- Let's get started.
All right so let's start drawing Jasmine.
So the first thing we're gonna do is gonna get
just a red pencil here.
Now you can use, you can use anything
you have lying around the house.
But what we're going to do first
we're gonna do some,
some lines just to help us get started.
Now, start with a circle, a circle
Doesn't have to be a perfect circle.
This is going to be the thing
that everything else is built around.
Now the first thing we're gonna do is,
we're gonna put a line down the middle here
and that's just gonna help us place her nose
and her mouth, and that's,
and then we're gonna put another line
kind of just under the middle
of the circle.
Just across, just like that.
She's got very delicate, refined nose
and she's got a very smooth long nose.
Which you'll only basically see a little bit
at the bottom there, like that.
So just under that middle line.
So she's got a very straight nose,
it does not turn up or anything fancy like that.
Now Jasmine has beautiful round cat eyes
so we're gonna start.
The easiest way to do it is to kind of just draw ovals.
On that line where, kind of on that line in
the middle where you drew,
we're gonna just draw some ovals first
and then we're just going to point them out to the side.
So the outside corner of her eye is going to go there.
So then that,
so the top of the oval is where the top
of her eye is going to go.
We're just going to pop her on this side too.
Can you see that's starting to come together there?
And then we're gonna just bring it around the other side,
so it's almost like a lemon shape, kind of tilted.
Like that, if you can imagine a lemon. (laughs)
Now Jasmine has beautiful, thick, thick kind of eyeliner,
coal or something like that.
So you're gonna draw very bold lines
around there, her outside of her eyes there.
Because that's, that's Jasmine
and it points to just this big cat's eye
eyelashes on the end there.
(upbeat music)
Now we're gonna put her mouth in.
Now she has a very delicate, very delicate lips
so we're just going to just do a shape.
This is just the line, so she's gonna be smiling.
So we're going to just a simple little curved,
curved U-shape that goes up at the ends like that
and then we're gonna add her lips (laughs).
(Lavinia laughs) So again, you come back
to this little middle line that you drew,
that's gonna be the middle so,
so pretend like you're kind of putting lip stick on.
So it just starts in the middle.
- [Lavinia] Oh!
- And goes out each side, you see?
And that's her top lip,
and then we're gonna do her bottom lip and again,
she's got very, she's got very fine lips
and a very fine mouth.
But you know when Aladdin sees her smile,
he just goes, "Ahh" (laughs).
So you can see her face starting to come together here.
Jasmine has a very pointed, has a pointed face
it's almost kind of like a teardrop turned upside down.
So her chin is going to be down here,
kind of where the bottom of that circle is
but what we're gonna do, is we're gonna
start here at the corner of her eye and
it's going to, we're going to.
It's going to come in narrow like that
so we're making the bottom
of the circle a little more pointy instead.
So you can see instead of a, instead of a full circle
it's more like a pointy.
Again it's more like a tear drop turned upside down.
- [Lavinia] Oh! - [Amy] Can you see?
Can you see what I'm doing there?
So you just trim in,
you just bring your line inside the outside.
Inside the circle you drew there
and you just bring it down to a point at her chin like that!
Excellent!
That is exactly what I'm talking about.
Now going up to the top.
The top here of
that line you drew here in the middle,
this is where her hair is going to start
because her hair parts in the middle.
Now Jasmine again has this beautiful
I mean you can see the toy, look it!
She's got this beautiful hair
that just kind of sits in a big, kind of puff
around her head (laughs).
So we're gonna start in the middle
and we're just gonna go swish like that.
It doesn't matter if it goes over the
edge of her eye lashes and on the other side
it's gonna go swish!
Can you see that?
Now the top,
she is of course wearing a tiara
so we're going to draw like another bit around like that.
So you can see the hair forms a shape around her head.
- [Lavinia] Oh!
- [Amy] It's really thick hair.
Yeah but no,
Jasmine, Jasmine's a very special princess
'cause she's just so strong, you know.
This is a--
- [Lavinia] Very strong and fierce.
- [Amy] Yeah. - [Lavinia] And independent.
- I mean, she's growing up in a palace
and she's got,
she's got everything you could want
but she wants more than that.
- Yeah! - Yeah!
- [Lavinia] She wants to go out and explore?
- Mm-hmm.
Sometimes a girl's got to take matters
into her own hands, you know?
- [Lavinia] How am I doing?
- [Amy] You are doing spectacularly so far.
- [Lavinia] Thank you. - Yeah.
So as you can see,
we're starting to form the shape of her hair now,
so her hair forms these two,
two lovely bits that frame her head.
Now, we don't see Jasmine's ears.
But she definitely wears earrings, doesn't she?
- Mm-hmm. - Big gold earrings.
And those puff out in this space here,
and you can see,
the hair forms a nice little space here
where you can hang her earrings,
which are basically big fat triangles.
Or big tear, bit like drops coming out.
So you can just use this,
where the edge of her hair is as a spot
to help you place her earrings.
And that's pretty much all her earrings are (laughs),
they're just these big, big, golden drops hanging out.
Yeah, there we go!
- [Lavinia] There! - That's perfect.
Now before we go in and fill the rest of her hair,
we're going to put her neck in.
So, so the neck is just two lines
that just come out of the bottom like that.
You see that?
Excellent.
And she wears a necklace? - [Lavinia] Mm-hmm.
So, at the bottom of those two necklines,
we're going to do like a V-shape.
Just gonna do a V-shape
to join those two lines in the middle.
And then we're going to draw another V-shape
around the outside, so we're gonna draw a V-shape
around the outside, it's kind of a fat V
to form her necklace and there you go.
There's her necklace done.
And we're just gonna do two lines on each side here
and that's just where her shoulders would go.
Okay?
Jasmine is not a princess without that beautiful tiara
on her head. - Oh yeah.
- [Amy] It's also a giant, giant,
one giant big gem.
Now, the top of her hair kind of hides it a bit
so we're only gonna see a little bit of it.
So, we're just (squeaks).
Can you see that it's just like a big egg (laughs).
(Lavinia laughs) Kind of poking out
of the top her head.
And there's just a little line there
and that's just the edge of the gem.
Now, we're gonna see a little bit of the back
of her head there, so I'm just gonna do,
so this will be the back of her head
or it could be like the band that her,
the band that's holding her tiara on.
Now, as we know, Jasmine's hair is bound,
it's big and it's thick
and it's so thick that it needs two ribbons to hold it.
- [Lavinia] Yes. (Amy laughs)
Oh. - [Amy] So it's too big puffs
at the back of her head
so we're going to just continue and fill in.
So where those two puffs of hair came around,
we're just gonna bring those in together at the back
of her neck. - [Lavinia] Like?
Oh, okay. - [Amy] Yeah.
Then we're gonna draw a line underneath that
and that's gonna be the first ribbon
that's holding her hair, ribbon or a band
or whatever it is.
Now, because this is only her head,
we're not gonna see all the rest of her hair, obviously.
So, you're gonna see a little bit of that big second puff
and then we're gonna do two more little curved circles
on each side of that,
attached to those lines and that's the second,
the second puff of hair.
Oh, and we should do her eyebrows, of course.
She's got these beautiful,
beautiful, thick, thick eyebrows.
Now, they're gonna be half hidden by her hair
but if you were to draw them,
they'd be kind of in here.
But, so yeah,
you can draw yourself a little construction line there
just to help you,
help you see the whole eyebrow.
If you're not absolutely sure where to place it.
So her eyebrows would go there,
but she's got really thick brows.
So we're gonna make 'em thicker.
And you can just get your pencil
and just color them in,
just color them in like that.
So, and, Jasmine's got black hair
so you could draw this all the way up
because that's all gonna be colored in later.
Now that's all we're gonna do right now
for the construction lines.
So, and after that,
we're gonna pick up and this is just a normal,
a normal graphite pencil.
Now we've done all the hard work now.
So now this just cleaning it all up.
So you just use this black pencil
to just go around, over the top,
over the top of the lines you did
and you're just drawing an outline in now.
So, you're drawing the lines that you wanna keep
for your final, for your final drawing.
And if you have an eraser, you could come in,
you could just go in, - [Lavinia] Yeah.
And just get rid of all these,
but you can do that, we can do that later.
We've got her eye shape,
now we're gonna add her iris.
So and they're just, simply,
they're just circles.
They're just two circles
and you could have her looking any direction you'd like.
She could look over here,
or she could look over that way.
I'm gonna have her looking,
just kind of looking out.
She could look up.
And it's entirely up to you.
So I'm just drawing two circles,
just inside there.
And so we're gonna draw another circle
inside that first circle,
just a little bit smaller.
And so, this is her iris
and this is going to be her pupil.
So, that's actually a really interesting effect.
If you wanted to leave the pupil out
and just do her eyes,
you also get a lovely, interesting, effect.
What brings the eyes to life is a highlight.
That little dot of light where it picks up the light.
So it's just a little circle there
between those two circles.
See, like that? - [Lavinia] Oh.
- [Amy] So yeah.
It's like you're drawing a little ball,
ball in a thing.
Now, we can go in and start coloring some stuff in.
So you just color in the pupils.
And press, press really nice and hard for this.
And I'm gonna color in her iris
and I'm just pressing a little less hard, you see,
you can see the different, all the different,
- [Lavinia] Yeah. - [Amy] Range of the light
and dark, you can get with just one pencil
and it's just, it's just down to how hard you're pressing.
- What was your favorite part of the Aladdin movie?
- Favorite part of the Aladdin movie?
I mean who doesn't love "A Whole New World"?
That whole beautiful sequence, - [Lavinia] Oh!
- [Amy] Flying in the air with that beautiful song,
song by Alan Menken, you know.
- [Lavinia] It was, - [Amy] It's just, yeah.
- [Lavinia] it was a really good scene.
- [Amy] It was a beautiful scene, yeah.
Yeah, so as you can see right now,
I'm just turning, I'm just turning the pencil on its side
and using it to just fill in,
fill in her hair.
'Cause you know, as Aladdin says "she's got these eyes!
"And this hair and that smile and..."
But, you know, at the same time,
she's not a girl who's gonna be bossed around, is she?
- [Lavinia] Yeah. - [Amy] So as you can see,
I'm just kind of drawing,
we're just kind of filling stuff in here now
so I've drawn just a little highlight on her,
on her earrings, giving them a little bit of shine
and you know, Jasmine's a girl who knows,
knows the fine things, so I'm just gonna put a little bit
of eyeshadow on her here.
Those beautiful dressed eyes.
Just have fun with it
and if you're not happy with it
or if it's not perfect, that's fine.
You know, it's perfectly okay to scrunch it up
and go, look, you know what, I'm--
- [Lavinia] Let's start all over again.
- [Amy] I'm not gonna try and fix this,
I'm just gonna start again.
And often, you'll get a better picture
because you learn from what you,
didn't quite work last time.
Well, I think we're getting close to done here.
- [Lavinia] Yes. - [Amy] Yeah.
Oh but there's one very important thing we have to do next
and that is we have sign our work.
Wow!
That is, that is an awesome signature.
- Thank you!
- (laughs) So what was your favorite part
about drawing Jasmine today?
- Well, I mean, everything was.
(Amy laughs) - It was super fun.
I was like so focused and concentrated.
- I know you were, you were focusing so hard there
but you did a fantastic job, - Thank you.
- and we hope you guys had fun too!
- You can also check out our other how to draw videos
and yeah, we'll see you soon.
- Yeah, bye!
