- Hi, my name is David Pacheco.
I'm one of the artists at the Walt Disney Company
and today I'm gonna invite you to learn how to draw
the very first Disney princess, Snow White.
So let's get started.
So let me put my eyes on first.
So we're gonna start with drawing a circle.
Just draw it in lightly.
And you'll see that I'm using a red pencil.
You can use any color you want.
And this is just to get your basic shapes down.
Now Snow White has very soft features,
so when you draw in her jaw shape,
you want to give it a little bit of softness.
And in the center
you're gonna draw a line
and one across the top
towards the bottom of the circle,
and this is gonna give you the placements
for the eyes and the other features.
You can draw in two little circles
for the eyes right now.
This is gonna look like a mess,
but you'll see that it's gonna all come together
in the end.
You can draw two lines,
this will be her neck.
Draw in a shape here.
Now her hair is very soft,
so we're gonna do an almost like a little s-curve here.
And you're gonna finish up here.
This is the front part of her hair.
Now because her hair is very full,
you're gonna extend the hairline
above the circle that you drew for the head.
It's almost like an x-ray you're seeing right now.
Now the shape of the hair
you can draw in lightly on the sides.
Because she has a very large collar,
so you can draw in this shape as well.
Now we're gonna get into some of the details
of her features.
I'm gonna draw in her eyebrows
and the placement for the nose.
We're just gonna draw a little circle
for the nose right now.
And these lines here will indicate where her smile is.
You can do her top lip, teeth,
and lower lip.
And then we're gonna draw in the eyelids, just lightly.
And draw in her eyes.
And then to finish it off,
we're gonna draw her hair ribbon,
just two triangular shapes kind of a soft triangle.
So now we have our basic construction.
So now I'm gonna take my black pencil
and we're gonna refine the details.
So let's start with her hair.
Keep the lines soft.
And if you make a mistake, that's okay
because I do that all the time.
You can always erase and refine it
and re-go over the line.
The important thing is to have fun
when you're drawing.
So there's the front of her hair.
Let's bring in the shape of her face.
Again remember that she has very soft features,
so you want to keep them kind of rounded.
Give her a little chin.
Draw in her neck
and the area around her collar.
And let's work on the shapes of her hair.
To keep it soft, you're gonna maybe give it
three little shapes here on the side,
keeps it soft like a little cloud.
And maybe the more on that side.
Now let's work on her ribbon.
And back in the '30s when this film was made,
all little girls wore big, gigantic bows in their hair,
so that's why she has one.
And here's the ends of her bow.
And then we're gonna finish the top of her head.
Now we can add in the details of her features.
Draw in her eyebrows.
We can start drawing in her eyes.
Now for details, she has usually four individual eyelashes
that go over the eyelids.
So there's one, two, three, four.
And then same thing with the other eye.
Finish that off.
One, two, three, four.
Then we can draw in her pupils.
And I usually add a little shape that's a white dot,
and that's the highlight in her eyes,
and that just gives her a little bit more sparkle.
She doesn't have too much detail on her nose,
just a little bit of a suggestion.
She has a very pretty little mouth,
lower lip, show a little bit of teeth,
make her smile kind of widely.
Okay.
Then we finish up this collar.
And just for a little added detail,
you can add in just a little bit of blush with a red pencil.
Just
darken the eyes just a little bit
to make the highlights stand out.
And there she is.
I hope you had a great time.
Hope you learned something.
And we'll see you next time.
Thanks a lot, bye bye.
