Step-by-Step Guide
Start by drawing a circle for Elsa’s head and a line for her neck. Then, draw a horizontal line across the circle for her eyes.

Next, draw Elsa’s eyes and eyebrows. Don’t forget her eyelashes! Draw a small curved line for her nose and a bigger curve for her smile.

Now, draw Elsa’s hair. Start with a few lines to indicate the direction of her hair, and then draw the strands around her face. Add some details to her hair, like braids or a bun.

Draw Elsa’s dress, starting with the collar and the shoulders. Then, draw the sleeves and the bodice. Add some details to the dress, like the snowflake pattern or the sheer sleeves.

Finally, draw Elsa’s arms and hands. You can position them however you like, but I prefer to draw Elsa holding a snowflake or using her ice powers.
